18th club, whose next?

[Maximus]

The arlc negotiated it previously

govt Didn’t want too but pvl strong armed them

Guys aren't we lucky to have this guy who has obviously been there for all of the negotiations?

 

[Maximus]

Loads their real salary cap is close to 18 million with the tax exemptions

No it's not. You can fit exactly the same amount of $1-1.5m players as any other club.

What you are claiming is that they will take pay cuts to get the tax benefit, in which case the dumbarse claim of earning double or triple is even more wrong.

 

[RedVee]

Must be the algorithm. I got Sydney Sweeney!

I’ll swap!

 

[Bukowski]

I’ll swap!

Me too, I got Luke and Obi Wan discussing banging Leia

it is only a game at the end of the day ..so of course that’s unlikely …

it might give them something to appreciate though …must be tough going… living over there compared with our lives

Eighty-seven percent of them don't have access to reliable electricity.

All games are pay walled on Digicel. A Digicel subscription costs about $80 per month. The GDP per capita is under $4,000.

How many of them will be able to watch the team play on TV?

Do they even have tv in PNG? Or electricity?

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

They run the game Donks, it is what it is. I had to put up with Ken Arthurson for years.

Which is why it's hard to follow the game these days.

How can I get excited about a product that's run by insular old dickheads from Sydney who couldn't give a f**k about the game anywhere else?

They'll always put their interests ahead of the good of the game. It's how Super League came about. Of course the biggest whingers from the Super League era were the most narrowminded and corrupt bastards who didn't like it that they didn't get their way for once.

And central coast

North Sydney have abandoned the Central Coast.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Politis. Vlandy. Albo. Joe Biden. Trump
Bennett. Have been in discussions with Perth RED. About the North Sydney Grizzlies Bear's
Franchise

Did Wayne use his big head or little head?

How long did it take for Biden to get lost and wander around like a toddler?

Did Albo take his rent-a-girlfriend?

 

[Santino Patane]

I think they can be similar just with different main colours.eg png mostly yellow with accents of red and black. .
Perth more equal red and black with white and accents of old gold.
dolphins to stick with their home colours.

Yep, makes sense. I hope they all have some solid away jerseys and not just yet another white kit. I’m actually keen to see a three contrasting kit setup happen in the comp- like a Home, Away, Alternative as a base and (f**k it) throw the heritage, indigenous, city jerseys on top of that too. Never too many jerseys IMO!!

I’m just coming back from watching the Falcons v Hunters game in the QCup, and the PNG existing kit looks even better in the flesh. Unique, but still very rugby league. On a side note, there were heaps of PNG fans there and were probably the best opposition fans I’ve come across, despite what others say on this website.

Ugly score though

No, no. I’m a Falcons fan from the beginning. Great for our differential!

Where’s all the bigmouths who said png was no chance gone ?

600 million dollars and players not paying tax

ong have the highest after tax salary cap in the league

 

[Wb1234]

On an income of 1.5 million pa they would pay 645k in tax playing for an Australian club

attracting the elite players will be easy

and they can offer average players less than Australian clubs given the tax savings

No one said that. What was said was pelicans like you went off half cocked.

I assume you'll be jumping ship from the swans to this mob?....at least until the swans are in the flag final again

We'll see how easy it will be. Not everyone is a whorebag like you.

If they are paying that much they need to get a better accountant and financial advisor!
