Has a second NRL team in New Zealand edged closer to a reality after the NRL's new multi-billion dollar broadcast deal?

The Australian Rugby League Commission has signed a new seven-year TV rights deal with its existing partners on both sides of the Tasman, including Sky TV, starting in 2028.

The NRL wants to increase to 20 teams during that period, with Christchurch considered a candidate for an expansion licence.

Sky TV boss Sophie Moloney has been asked what the new deal means to that end.

"That's definitely one for the commission - that wasn't determinist of our values, we've valued it up based on what we've got and we love our Warriors."

Tauranga residents are up in arms over NZTA's plan for a second toll point on the new Eastern Link.

Drivers passing through the Pāpāmoa East Interchange would be charged $1.10, on top of the $2.30 already charged.

A public meeting tomorrow's expected to be fiery. 

City Councillor Steve Morris says it's not fair for people living in Pāpāmoa East.

"What's worse is that 80 cents out of that $1.10, according to NZTA, is going on transaction charges."

A criminal defence lawyer has highlighted the challenges around convicting people in historic cases.

Lawyer Tony Bouchier's comments come after the Supreme Court overturned two guilty murder verdicts in a cold case killing.

James Henry Wilson and Mark Joseph Hoggart were found guilty in 2021 of killing Red Fox Tavern publican, Chris Bush.

Bouchier's says the evidence wasn't strong enough, especially around a potential third, deceased, suspect. 

"The defence - it's sometimes a dream when you get to that third person, and if you look at the Supreme Court decision, they couldn't discount the fact that he wasn't there."
