18th club, whose next?

If the Feds paid for you to jump off a bridge do you think it would be a good idea?

Yes

 

[Perth Red]

Yes

How much would it cost? Im sure we can have a whip round!

I'd scrape you up at the bottom, Im nice and caring like that.

So let leave to the side that that is North Queensland ( cowboys territory) with a crap facility with what would be 2 teams not representing the area.. maybe 5 to 6k crowds.

Now you have the situation where not 1 part of the organisation is PNG, 95% of their roster will be from somewhere else, they will be 100% funded by Australia, live in Australia and play 75% of their games in Australia and NZ.
Why even call them PNG?
They play 6 games there? 6 days in the country?
Checkmate? Lmao

Now you're getting it... fmd your wery wery slow, we all had this chat at the start of last year when the bid was talked about... maybe read a few pages ...like back 400 or something, or even read up on the bid, you'll have all your answers and details, coz right now you are just on repeat mode, trying to fathom the logistics

The logistics are unsustainable and will make the team unviable.

You and your mates appear to want to continue to ignore that.

 

[Gobsmacked]

I've made my position clear. After 15 people die over $120 some people still think an NRL team is what's is needed in PNG ... that won't be in PNG..

This discussion is ridiculous.

If they get a team, I'll gladly pop in to apologise. Until that happens goodbye.

Dude, you think govt funding is permanent.

You have so little idea about PNG, you think everyone is rich enough to be paying full NRL prices every fortnight, and that all the businesses will put in hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

Why are U writing the same shi..over & over again?! Fed money dwarfs all that. Not even a consideration.

 

[Pippen94]

If Aussie government cuts funding maybe usa will pick it up in pr war with China. Certainly, PNG will be most lucrative club when it comes to sponsorship..

Why do you need to use an alt to pretend someone agrees with you?

I don't. Ppl can agree or disagree for all I care. If Ur worried about PNG ticket sales U have no idea..NRL is being paid a lot of money to host team.

I'm more worried about an NRL player getting murdered the next time police go on strike because a computer glitch subtracts $120 from their pay.

Oh and the NRL aren't being paid anything.

TBF if there isnt a big wad of cash in it for the NRL they arent picking PNG for expansion! Its the only reason the NRl is even considering such a batsht crazy idea.

We spent $4m on 50,000 kids a decade ago.

NRL Launches School program in PNG

Doing that across the country, paying the kids to go to school as someone suggested, and other education improvements, isn't going to leave much money for the NRL.

The NRL side will run itself.

This is the sort of stuff the govt money is needed for, Along with improving school fields and other things like that

Last time this was mentioned about 10 years ago, Coke was onboard. You only need a few sponsors to make sure it is viable
