So if there’s a png/pacific side that’s going to be based out of Australia, it’s gotta be Sydney.
Anywhere else and it’s way to much travel.
If this goes through it’s going to be The Bears.

10 home games out of PNG/Pacific & 2 home games at NSO. There’s 9 Sydney sides make those your away games. And yes, the side will probably be called ‘The Bears’.
Same red & black colour scheme but with a pacific twist no doubt.

Easts tigers are way richer and it’s less travel than from Sydney

plus if they want Wayne bennett as coach he doesn’t have to move lmao

You guys have deadset gone too far the rabbit hole if you think the NRL are signing off on an Easts or Norths quasi Pacific Island team.

It’s a dream and it’s not even a good one.

lets have it run by PNG at least
no lets have it owned and run by an Australian club
at least we'll play all games in png?
no we need to play them in Australia and elsewhere

If you want a PNG/Pacifica team surely you put it in a development area. Push the cashed up WA gov. / federal gov. for a Centre of Excellence and PNG/Pacifica academy with scholarships on offer. Work on attracting good coaching talent across to work with the players.

Stop deathriding it

even though Perth has been trumped yet again for an nrl spot it’s highly likely they will come in anyway shortly after

this bid is far stronger than Perth will ever be especially if easts tigers get tacked onto it

Its not "Vlandys world" its the last 2 pages of the forum folk here, everyone has an idea to get either bears or tigers involved in a pasifika team... which defeats the purpose of that said team, you want another team in sydney... bears, you want another team in brisbane... tigers, none of them really want to go to png or anywhere else in the pacific

Been saying that for years! The only gap a WA club has is jnr development numbers. A WA club having a serious and long term partnership with PNGRL is a no brainer. Especially as the PNG kids who come across can get scholarship in mining trades as part of the deal and if their footy career doesnt work out at least they can go back and work in PNG at a decent level.

“Cairns has been mentioned, but there is not a set destination.
“We have to investigate whether a PNG team could be part of a joint venture with other entities like North Sydney Bears or the Brisbane Tigers.”

TBF Vlandys seemed to edge his bets each way (pun intended) in that article. He starts with 'must be led by PNG' then goes on to mention Bears and Brisbane and Cairns and Perth as possible locations for the club lol

When was the announcement of who club 18 is? Must have missed it. Was it the Brisbane is ripe for another team, or the Melbourne2 is a possibility, or the Perth Bears favoritism or NZ2 is dead cert or this weeks latest PNG brain fart from the games leader? Its so hard to keep up with exactly whose favourite lol
