This looks like a very attractive place for players and their families to live, and will become a very sought after destination.

Cummins isnt even that or he could’ve afforded the license fee

I really hope we get a steady stream of salt, I can hardly wipe the smirk off my face.

[Once was Sparky]

maybe this may work for expansion teams
add another 5 teams
22 team comp play each other once
A mid season rep period
final 8 final series

team 18 - Northern Hunters - team based in far north QLD or Darwin - games split between PNG & team base
team 19 - Perth Reds - Western Australian team
team 20 - Central coast Bears - Time to bring back the bears - game vs manly to be played out of North Sydney Oval
team 21 - Pacifica - Based out of the south island of New Zealand
team 22 - Adelaide Rams - Bring back the Rams as Perth with the Reds

world club challenge to be played after the Grand Final

Literally the worst idea on the forum and that includes jokes about teams in Bangladesh.

Take some time reading and learning before posting.

He meant nt / cairns as png team

Central coast bears isnt the worst idea in the world

Nrl themselves said they wanted nz2 to also be pacifika

Team 19 looks dodgy.

Don’t really want to sacrifice NZ 2 for Pasifika, although there is a large Pasifika population in NZ it’s still under 10% of the population, Moana Pasifika shows there’s not really an appetite for it in NZ and would rather an all inclusive NZ team.
Less than 10% of the total NZ Pasifika population lives in the South Island, Auckland is by far the biggest but you wouldn’t want to cannibalise the Warriors. Wellington is the only other realistic option it could have a chance but it’d be a hard sell.
Have a soft spot for the bears and Rams but NSW is not getting another team any time soon and Adelaide doesn’t seem to be on the radar.
Although might be easier for recruitment it might be tough to engage PNG not having the team actually based there

What a hatchet job by the AFLBC. Like every other country, the PNG population would bet on the sun rising if they had to.

If it was the fumblers getting a team there they would be doing a puff piece about how good it was for png
