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
You think PNG schools have ovals and fields?

Hahaha f**k me, what planet do you live on?

This thread shows me that some Aussies have no f**king idea about the rest of the world.

The grant isn't enough to run a team, especially with all the extra travel and security costs this will have.

This idea that all the mining companies will sponsor them is backed by literally nothing.
Hang on, aren't people saying we should put a team in Perth because WA has a lot of mining magnates who really like fumbleball?

You need about $7.5-11million worth, at todays running costs.

Well that rules Perth out. No wonder V'landys is championing PNG's bid ahead of the pawnbroker from Perth.

You do realise PNG have employed Joe Grima to run their junior development program?

Australia is funding that by the tune of $5.5m a year

f**k you are the one that has no idea

6 games in cairns

checkmate

Cairns got 8k to their only NRL game last year and Rabbitohs aren’t going back this year. Small city, shit “stadium”, not likely to win over many if any local fans to a PNG team. Hardly the slam dunk backup option you seem to think it is.

If the training base is the backup option should the PNG side of it fail then they should just set it up in Brisbane. At least that way there would be something salvageable if it goes belly up.

It depends on the deal they get from Cairns really
