All of your opinions on rugby league in Brisbane and Sydney are irrelevant because you don't know anything about the landscape. Everything you said about the Dolphins turned out to be wrong. You'll never live that down.

Why would I need to travel to Townsville to watch a game?

That makes no sense and is just snobbery from a wanker who cannot read and write at a satisfactory level.

I'm not in a position to travel around the country. Too many health problems and commitments. You sound like a big kid.
Haha as a fan why would you want to go watch your team play at home, at least once in your life? I heard they are basing Barbie2 on you lol.

So in the 20 years of supporting cowboys you’ve never been able to travel? now we understand why your such a fckwit, you need to get out of Logan more often!

More often? How about once!

And how many of the Christchurch players were born, grew up and played all jnr RL there? I suspect not many.

fyi WA has more RL clubs than Canterbury.

You're changing the goalposts again. Accept it buddy, Christchurch has provided more talent than Perth. It's proof that a large population doesn't mean shit when it doesn't care about the game.

I've had health issues that have plagued me since I was a teenager. I've got family members who've needed my assistance over the last 20+ years. I've taken in a lot of abandoned animals over this period. It's an expensive and time consuming commitment with no breaks. If you don't understand any of this then that's because you're dumb f**k with a very narrow mind.

Why would a person need to travel?

You sound just like Barbie. A vacuous and insecure wanker who goes on holidays just so you have content to put on your social media profiles. No one cares.

BTW dickhead, I've been a loyal fan for 29 years.

That is up to the International rugby league not the NRL, why should the NRL invest into grassroots rugby league in PNG and continue to ignore Country Rugby League in both NSW and QLD and grassroots rugby league in Australia.

The grassroots aren't ignored here but look at the demographic of the country. You are getting fewer and fewer younger people. Hence the numbers drop

For 2 time slots a week. Who in NZ is paying for the 10pm games?

The other one is the middle of the day on a Sunday after another game on Fox.

That we know is worth $30m or so a year now, The aim would be to leverage the international viewers as a total to networks.

We hopefully get with Fox's new system who watches total games, It is hard now as only Live games get picked up on ratings.

There could be 100,000 people over there watching which aren't being picked up, I am sure if there was it would certainly move them up the list

funding has been cut, every year compared to 2019. Be Interesting to see what 2023 is when annual report comes out.

If they are claiming they are going to spend 15% that’s currently around $90mill, 2022 they funded it $70mill. let’s see if it’s really at 15% this year or not.

How have the player numbers changed since 2019?

It comes to value for money, Every expense gets signed off by the stakeholders. They aren't going to just drop $millions to an area because someone wants them too

Well the govt won't directly pay the players, No different to if Perth come in and the Govt goes and upgrade some facilites particularly for juniors
There's a difference been the WA govt upgrading facilities in Perth and the AUS govt funding the PNG club.
A huge difference. If PNG can't fund it then it's a fake club.
