18th club, whose next?

[Bukowski]

Time will tell…

i suspect PNG Aussie signings will be in the main unproven youngsters or journeyman looking for that last payday before hanging up the boots.. PNG will have trouble spending the salary cap I predict

They will make a few Luke brooks level players the richest in the game.

Looks like there is a cheeky W on the cheeks and a cheeky NS in the eyebrows.

The 'NS' thing is a bit of a stretch in my opinion, however those 'W's are 100% planned.

Nothing is done by accident in graphic design.

TV rstings in Sydney tell the opposite actually Steve

No they don’t. The Swans have the largest following of all Sydney sports club. Undisputed.

rugby league is the number one sport

Correct, also undisputed.

As a former graphic designer myself, I completely agree with that statement.

If I'm being completely honest, I'm not 100% convinced that these will end up being the finalised emblem for the club. There's a few things about them that feel unfinished to me. Like they needed to submit something closely resembling the club logo for the IP submission, so this is there until the proper / finished one is ready for unveiling.

Agree with that.

I heard that there is still a possibility that the Aust citizen PNG players can still have to pay Aust tax ….?

But even not I doubt the other clubs will care until they start beating them which won’t happen for years

Only if they live in Australia for more than six months of the year

Yeah I can't see them getting guys for more than 1-2 years. Guys who have been injured and want to put themselves in the shop window.

That said I feel all 3 new clubs will struggle to recruit as we saw with Dolphins but PNG will be near impossible to get quality.

They have to develop talent very well to put a decent team on the park

That's only 1 of the tests. Any player that signs a short term contract would likely fail the domicile test.

Correct, also undisputed.

They have lower tv ratings in Sydney than any nrl club. Undisputed. Therefore your statement they have the largest following of any club in Sydney is DISPUTED.

 

[BuffaloRules]

They do … the Swans ratings are pathetic in Sydney after so many years is success …

The AFL should compromise their competition more and give them a few more leg ups ..

Could be facing an all Sydney grand final In the afl

and yet if you go off social media or the news nobody ever talks about it

PNG will be reliant on local players in the main..

Given where they are starting from … 4 years won’t be enough time for them to be anywhere close to competitive … they really need like a 10 year plan before coming into the NRL

yeah … Swans support within Sydney is very overrated…

I guess it beats the Giants though

I guess they have the Hunters so aren't a complete blank canvas

but yeah Bottom 3 in 2028 will be Bears, PNG and Tigers of course

The Tigers will be out of their funk by then … too many good kids coming through the ranks ..

The Hunters have not supplied a lot of talent to date that has gone onto the NRL

You remember how long it took Penrith to make a semi finals series ?

don’t worry they will be fine

 

[Centy Coast]

What are the drug laws like in PNG ?, asking for potential signings lol.

different rules back then. Players couldn't freely change clubs like they can now.

Every player PNG is after most other NRL clubs will be too. They will pay elite money to a couple of above average players with locals in the rest of the squad
