correct but the PNG govt are struggling with construction issues and looking for outside help, construction is not their strength and they cant get it off the ground for some time

it may be a resort but still has to have the security of a compound as outsiders cannot get in as the crime rate is high and highly paid athletes will be a target for the bad dudes
Yeah I get that. It will be a gated community with high security. Probably built around a 9-hole golf course.

I have my doubts PNG will be in the comp, let alone by 2028.
I’m 100% with you. I’d love to know the contract departures. I’m certain it’s littered with get out clauses. The WA team is a big ask but I can see it being an absolute masterstroke.

I just cannot see how the team in a 3rd world hostile country can survive living in a compound.

I’d dearly love a second Melbourne team or NZ team.

A second Melbourne team! f**k those merkins. NZ it could get right on board with. I could even cop another QLD team.
Call me silly but I think with the raging success of the NRL atm and the success of the Melbourne Storm, it’s critical to get a second team, increase fans there and limit Storms 1 state advantage or at least lessen it.

I think we missed the chance a few years ago to rissole a shit club like the Tigers as I still think they should have been West Tigers (in Perth) and reopened the bears up north in QLD.

Getting a second team will not limit there success.there success is in there player identification.Most there players where unknown to anyone till they got there

It’s retention where they have a massive advantage. Once dudes are settled in Melbourne with wife and kids, it would take a fair pay raise to get them away from there. Especially if they marry a local girl.

It would be funny if he fizzles out after all the carry on

Well put it this way I think he has a fair chance of becoming the next Craig field . His mistakes and defence has not been highlighted or crucified as being playing with perennial wooden spooners now that he is at a side coming first every mistake , every missed tackle , every time he is a speed bump will be scrutinised and commented upon . Just like Craig field went to manly and wasn’t the same again

Let's just hope he doesn't have the same post career outcome.
