How About Some Positive News?

In this era of so much negativity and mocking and deriding we enjoy doing, when I read this, it just warmed the cockles of my heart and made me want to spread positivity.

The way the Papuans embraced these NRL players and are so excited about a trial (and not even a proper, full strength game) is beautiful to see. It makes you realise how great the NRL is, and if we don’t focus so much on the small percentage of negative things that happen around the game, instead focusing on all of the positives, it would be nice. Living a prosperous life in Australia, it’s easy to forget what a simple event like this can mean to a less fortunate nation.

Excellent work Bulldogs for organising it and Sharks for participating (would’ve been better if taking a near full strength team). Hopefully games in places like this only increase.

Perhaps this thread can be for other NRL good news stories?

It’s a shame this game is the only one not streamed. Is it being broadcasted locally in PNG.
Surely a proper nrl game is on the cards very soon.

Good news story from the West. Bit long to post but here’s a great news story of how the RL family and local community have rallied together to help a young lady in Waa’s far north play in Perth’s harmony nines at the weekend. Family are doing it tough with dad the only parent caring for his 4 daughters and currently in hospital with life threatening condition. NRLWA family and Broome community have come together to make sure this young lady, who lives for league, can still get to perth to play. Well done everyone involved and positive vibes to dad for a speedy recovery.

What could be more positive than Lodge suffering an injury?

Ditto. Hopefully one of the clubs stream it but I assume being in PNG there may be issues with internet.

Awesome story PR. Hoping the Dad recovers.

It is pretty good in a tongue-in-cheek way. Even though he’s done terrible things, I don’t actually wish injury on the bloke.

Anyway, not the purpose of the thread...

That might be it but I do remember even more than ten years ago watching png and Cook Islands play in the pacific cup on a stream.

I’m going to png in 2 weeks
Got a bunch of footy stuff to give away.
10 years worth of my family’s unworn members hats
A few new premiers shirts
A few other hats
All Sharks stuff
A lot is old ( date wise ) merch but it’s never been worn.
It should be cool.
I’ll right up off the top of new Ireland province.

That’s great, must have found a way to get it done. It will be good to see the locals cheering literally everything and I’m sure you’ll make a tonne of people too.

Great story to come out of that game.

I know we bag Greenberg off but good to see him take time out when over for the WCC to visit Mose in hospital.

How about these fans, RL really is the greatest game!

"There was this old lady, she was about 90 … Mitch Garbutt had to push her in her wheelchair.

"And she wrote me a card, and she was old school, she wrote a little cheque to put in my fundraiser, she put it in the card.

"She was coming in to visit her husband. She said 'he's upstairs but he's going to die soon'.

"You just don't know what to say to that. With all the bad things that happen to her, she's coming into visit me? That's just so humbling.

"Then there was another fella in the first two weeks that I was here and he has Parkinson's. He lives about a mile and a half away and he walked here.

"It's freezing outside. My partner and my kids got talking to this old man and he was sitting there for 30 minutes because he was so exhausted just from walking.

"But he came here to bring me a book - it was Eddie Jones's book. He couldn't make it from the dining room to here because he was exhausted

"It's incredible, these are complete strangers, doing these things for me."
