Figured this was probably the most suitable forum, and would attract the most interest given possible International implications for PNG.

A FULL-strength Broncos squad will fly to Port Moresby next year, to meet Intrust Super Cup champions the PNG Hunters, in a thrilling pre-season trial.

Brisbane announced the clash on Thursday afternoon, in what will be a major boost for the game in Papua New Guinea.

It is expected a full-strength squad will be flown over for the showdown on February 24, to meet the Hunters squad which claimed their first Intrust Super Cup trophy in September.

Broncos CEO Paul White said this was an opportunity to give back to the community, with many Brisbane fans living in Papua New Guinea where rugby league is the national sport.
