idiot, lets ignore all the pther problems that country has and just give them a token gift
the name calling and your location aren't helping if you want to be taken seriously...


IF RU or AFL were half as popular in PNG, they'd have had a team long ago...

A bit off topic, but would be good to see this annual tour expanded to 2 weeks (3 weekends), with 3 games played during this tour. A few games every year might also ease a little of the pendmonium at the grounds (... wishful thinking perhaps).

This does set back their bid. They said they were planning something like Skilled Park built for the bid.. don't know if that's big enoough, now.. Once they have the fascilities they will have a chance of actually controlling the crowd.

How can you control that many people when they can just "cut through the fense" ?

Gee, how little you blokes know about PNG. The issues surrounding crowd control, ticket sales, ground infrastructure and all the rest that goes with hosting a modern sporting event depend on certain basics such as:

effective and transparent management; a basic understanding of "some will miss out" by the general public;

These, amongst a lot of others, are missing in PNG and it has been like that since "law & order" became a mythical beast sometime around the early '80's.

not off topic at all, I think it's a great idea. Take a squad of 25 over, it's a great experience for those who haven't played much rep footy, or for any player for that matter.

If you can spread it across three major regions of the country, then it will definitely reduce the level of pandemonium because you're reducing the number of people travelling from all over. The problems we are seeing now are coming about because we can't cope with the demand, and those who have travelled from across the country aren't too willing to turn around and go home after being told "we're full" once they get to the stadium...

That's what I thought, so why did you start this argument in this section with the following post.
Another genius who can't read. The issue was about stupid, ignorant, narrow-minded white folk from Sydney who can't see past the end of their noses and understand anything other than their simple western ideas. But that has clearly gone way over your feeble head you dope.

what a load of BS, you took a cheap shot in a smartarse way. You were pulled up on it.

This is the type of emotional shit in your post that annoys the f**k out of the readers.

Stupid ignorant readers who can't get their dopey heads around simple points. Tough shit. If you still think this point was something to do with the Bears you really are slow.

Haha whatever you say keyboard hero. You aren't worth the time, you are just a annoyance the rest of us must put with when we come to find news, opinion or discussion. Most of the threads become unreadable in here once you start with your emotional shit that often results back into insults.

f**k off you patronsing twat. If you can't argue yoru point because you don't know anything about the game trying to look mature and rational doesn't make up for your complete lack of knowledge. It just makes you look like a pompous old wanker who still doesn't know anything.

Build them a HUGE stadium - they can use for RL and other community activities.

Bring in a side in like 2020 -

Will be MASSIVE

See posts like this are the real problem. How much do you think a huge stadium costs? If we are talking about a stadium of about 30,000 you are probably looking at at least $100 million. That is nothing for a country like Australia. However, GDP per capita is PNG is only $2300. That would be one expensive stadium. While that is being built there are probably people starving on the streets. Just reading wikipedia, I see that a large proportion of the population are illiterate and that there are only five physicians per 100,000 people. Also just over 50% complete primary school.

What these facts tell you is that PNG is a developing country. With these horrible statistics the government cannot afford to build a stadium or to bankroll an NRL team. This does not mean that money should not be put into sport. Investments should be made into the grassroots of the game and to the national team as they are an inspiration to their people.

I don't know if this is true for you but I think that a lot of people who want the game to spread into PNG do not care at all about the people of the country. Most of these people are not humanitarians who truly care about the people of PNG. They just want to see rugby league spread around the world even if it causes great cost to the country.

Fair points there wilson, but at the same time you have to ask yourself, are all the problems of PNG going to be solved (or even dramatically improved) in our lifetime? If the answer is no, does this also mean that the people there should lose all hope of ever having a decent rugby league team to watch?

To me a stadium is no different to a road, a road or highway is not edible (for those that are starving) but they still get built in developing countries. Roads can be used by citizens just as a stadium can be.

And it will be much more no-frills than an aussie stadium too, so costs will be less. If Robina was quoted as an example, that's just capacity-wise. This stadium probably wouldn't even have seats in most parts, just like an outer stand in an aussie venue...
