PNG

[carcharias]

Give them a team in the NRL.
Why fart around with places that don’t want one?
Port Moresby is all set to go.
Great ground
Awesome support.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Hopefully one day. They look a lot better since having a team in the QLD Cup too.

They’ll probably get flogged for 10 years
But they’ll have massive support.
None of this empty stadium bullshit

 

[BuffaloRules]

Flanno might want to coach them...

They’d love to have a premiership winning coach.
Great idea.

I could see Flanno leaving the Shire to take his family to heavy security compound living in PNG...

Should only cost an extra $100k a year salary on top of what the Sharks are paying him right?

This is going to be the issue with
PNG - attracting talent on and off the field, along with money for centre of excellence, and all the other off field stuff...

It would be great to have a PNG team but it won't happen anytime soon. Sure the support would be unreal but barely anyone would want to live in PNG. I've been there before and it's not a place you would like to walk alone in.

Here is the government warnings about travelling to PNG

True
But there is a lot of company money over there.
I’m pretty sure the players wouldn’t be living in 3rd world conditions.

Ha
Have you ever been to a country not on their list?

 

[Exsilium]

I read the title and none of the comments.

I'll just say this. They play more entertaining football than any NRL side.

NZ v Tonga is another example. Give me that every week and the game would sell out weekly.

Relocate sharks to Port Moresby.

You can’t compare the UK, France, Chile and New Zealand to PNG that is apples and oranges. Whilst the landscape in PNG is beautiful it isn’t a place you would feel safe walking in. My dad and I were talking about this last night and he told me on one of his business trips there he saw someone get hacked with a machete and when travelling he was in an armoured car with bullet holes in the windows. He used to go to PNG quite often in the mid 2000’s.

I went a while ago and experienced it as well

Yeah
Nothing bad happens in the Uk France Chile or NZ.

this sounds like why I don't like to go to Sydney. Plus the traffic.

 

[carcharias]

Relocate sharks to Port Moresby.

They’d have better crowds than most other options

 

[Pedge1971]

I vote yes. In time they will develop their own in time. There is some corporate dollar in the town which could help fund COE and operations.

It is their national sport and they would be no pushovers at home.

The only way to change things is to include not isolate.

You should go to Port Moresby and do some late night alone walking around the town...

If you are approached by anyone just start telling them about your 40/30 theory...

The Cowboys took 10 years and look 'em now.

I agree. PNG in ASAP.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Before they get a team, I'm hoping someone takes an NRL game there. Imagine the atmosphere there.
