PNG's back.

How many are dead in Palestine? Yet they are still trying to qualify for soccer World Cup.

The question that matters to NRL is how many players/officials have been injured/killed since the Hunters started in 2013?

Then how places like Fifa handle such things

Then the cost. Then they work out if it is worth it.

We had a junior player contracted to an NRL club murder someone, so there are issues even over here.

Again it comes to whether they see the risk as worth it or not
Is there WC games in Palestine?
Is there a professional team being proposed for Palestine?
Is there any money to be made? A tv deal for Palestine?
Are professional soccer players EVER going to Palestine to play? The best soccer stars going there to play?

O players from there get to leave there to play.. exactly like PNG already do as a national team.

75 dead... 3 months ago..

How many current stars would put their hand up to fly to PNG every second week?
You will only get players that should be going to Super league and you'll be paying them double!

PNG is 100% guaranteed to fail.
Zero chance of success.

Never going to happen.

I think Perth should be one of the 3 that get in. Realistically though you are adding 200k to the RL supporter base.

That alone doesn't get the likes of Amazon and other multi nationals on board...

That is why that Pasikifa freakshow is being discussed atleast in a couple of articles online. Hell is the main reason to go to Vegas...

I doubt it works but atleast they are keeping an open mind
The Pacific isn't PNG, and vice versa and isn't worth anything to TV

Png hunters
There was Q cup players refusing to go over security concerns..
Do you realise how much security we will need for the Broncos to play there? It will be the military every second week.
I can't believe I'm even discussing this tbh. There's no way in hell the NRL are going to send 24 million dollars worth of our best talent to PNG every second weekend..
Dreaming.

The idiots that bring this up seem unaware that the current png rl team has had zero problems in this regard
Its not about the riot happening its why it is happening.

Surely you as a non idiot can see that. Unless of course you're one of the idiots.

No but Fiji are running a side in NSW u21's comp. Get them in some sort of mix with NZ 2.

get a bit of traction in the USA and you have a big global print then just sticking to Australia.

Wishing it and having it become reality though are different. I like the ambition can always fall back to Brisbane 3 if it becomes not viable

There are major cities in Australia, without teams.
Perth 2.2million
Adelaide 1.4million
Christchurch and region 650k
Wellington & region 500k
Sunshine Coast 355k
Central Coast 350k
Geelong 268k

Yep not like we are short of options of other regions without an NRL club to call its own!
