You know there’s a professional bid being put together to answer any of those questions

and you haven’t explained how staging tests and qld cup games ismt proof of concept
Qld Cup games are semi professional, as for Test matches, armed security etc is guaranteed as they are usually one off games held in PNG and thus easy $$$ for the locals to attend.
I’m just curious if PNG is such a big league draw card why haven’t any NRL games been played there ?.
Is there really a PNG bid team website to answer my questions ?.

Clubs only take games away from their home ground if they're paid money.

Exactly, so there is no money then ?, unless they are funded to which they currently aren’t lol.
Let’s give this Country a NRL team, it’s not going to cost us anything so let’s push them to the front of the queue.
You honestly can’t make this shit up.

We'll know who is a contender by the end of the season.

If the Christchurch bid is fair dinkum then they'll have a reveal a strong financial backer in Las Vegas.

The Perth consortium needs to put forward its business case to have a chance.

The Brisbane Tigers need to play all 12 games out of Lang Park to warrant consideration.

20 team NRL
Pasifika Bear's 🐻
Brisbane 3
Southern orcas
That covers all Australia. Pacific islands
NZ . Papua New Guinea
This would catered all juniors. Fans . Major cities population's. Islands.
All juniors in the south oceanic Pacific area would have opportunities chances for the NRL

I know you're trolling, but in what world could no clubs west of Melbourne be considered to cover all of Australia?

But we care about Christchurch at a quarter of Perth's size?

Let's just rename it the East Coast Rugby League and make it official.
Mate who cares if we are on the west coast or specifically anywhere, as long as the clubs are viable and are followed, then no reason the comp needs to have specific places like perth, coz if we do go there great, then they'll be the dots on the map whingers that say we have no presence in SA, or that theres not enough NZ teams etc, they'll always be whingers, epl is the best comp in its sport, do you think they care where their teams are based?

The English Football Pyramid is based on P&R so it's not really comparable, but even then it's often fielded teams across the length and breadth of England and Wales.

Expansion is about growing the games fanbase, player base and sponsorship base.

Doesn't matter, if its P&R or not, they don't care where they're based

“The ARLC has allocated 13 per cent of projected distributable revenue to participation and pathways over the next five years, according to the NRL’s Participation and Pathway/RLPA Club Presentation document from September 2022. This figure was confirmed by the QRL’s Ikin. The AFL allocates 10 per cent, although the AFL has a bigger revenue pie.”
