Is the PNG club even gonna happen?

[Ideas Man Stephen]

PNG and Perth have potential to be giants. Small time clubs are frightened

The only way PNG will ever be giants is if they call the club PNG Giants.

None of the Perth positions so far have been advertised so are obviously head hunting, speeds up the process and doesn't require a HR dept I suppose.

that in itself is an absolute concern. Appointments without due application process is ridiculous. Some might even say it’s a “dumb dumb” practice. Especially when establishing yourself in a new market you haven’t really operated in for almost 30 years.

Don't be concerned

Sorry they didn’t run it past you first.
I’m sure you know best.

Carry on.

For heaven’s sake man. Your efforts behind the keyboard are like a child who gets fun out of tit for tat exchanges.

Are you not able to grow up and have a discussion that doesn’t resort to childish swipes at people you disagree with?

Only if they themselves are complete idiots.

Dude. He has shown he is pretty much on the inner circle of what is going on with the Perth Bears. He may not be directly involved but he is connected to many people who are. While you are on the outside posting nonsense on here.

Just a shame for RBB that some he trusted in here to tell insider information to run to X/Twitter to share that information copy and paste direct to others DMs

You can definitely have your opinion but it’s not worth discussing it because you’re wrong.

I’ve said multiple times now in this thread that this organisation is well advanced and just because things haven’t been announced in the media, it’s not a sign for concern.

I won’t divulge into particulars because it’s not my place to. But the Perth Bears from an organisational perspective with commercial operations etc are right where they need to be and tracking as they should be at the current time.

After the first post above, I had mistaken you for another more childish poster I was exchanging with earlier and responded, although your were a little flippant and a bit childish in that comment as well.

It seems others on here are validating your understanding of the new club. To be fair, I have fingers reasonably on the pulse myself and from discussions I have had, I think saying the Perth Bears are operating in an advanced position for a 2027 start is being generous. It is plausible we know each other.

Are you based in Sydney or Perth?

 

[James Rick]

No. Because that hasn’t been its focus. PNG has a massive pool of players neglected for decades. That’s all about to change and the elite pathways will drive players, potentially, into all clubs.
This investment by the government has the potential to change the pathways system throughout the whole of the South Pacific.
Tonga, Samoa, png and Fiji have a potential player pool to dwarf traditional ones.
And I’m sure Abdo and Vlandys know it.

Cook Islands as well.

Cathy Harris is apparently going to be the nrl independent appointee to the club board.

WAYNE BENNETT

The super coach is off-contract at Souths at the end of 2027. Bennett turns 78 when Papua New Guinea enters the NRL in 2028 and V’landys confirmed the ARL Commission wants the Hall of Fame coach to help set up the $600m Pacific franchise.

The parties are in talks. V’landys would love for Bennett to be head coach of PNG but the seven-time premiership winner is more likely to consider a consultancy role.

“Yes, we want Wayne Bennett involved,” he said.

“If Wayne is available, he will be the first bloke I call.

“You can ask Wayne if he wants to coach, but we will use Wayne in whatever capacity that would be suitable to him.”

Asked about fears PNG will be an expansion disaster in a country with the second worst crime rate in the world, he said: “There were critics of the Dolphins.

“The amount of attacks I got about the Dolphins being put in, most people would have said I don’t need this trouble and not gone ahead with it, but look how successful the Dolphins have been.

“In my view, PNG will be more successful.

“As a sports administrator for a long time, I can categorically say with confidence that Papua New Guinea will blow everyone out of the water.

“There are 18 million people there that are potential customers and potential players and the beauty of PNG is that it’s a one-nation sport.

“It’s all rugby league. We have no competition in PNG. We have a ready-made market. Even at a low-cost point, even if you charge $5 a month to watch the game, if you have more than 10 million people to tap into, look at the players we will find over there.

“Once the pathways are done right and implementation is everything, PNG could be the best thing to happen to rugby league.”

I'm going to keep the faith. There will probably be a few hiccups, but long term they end up a success.
