Surely a Christchurch/south island team is in pole position?
Feels like they're building momentum, probably make news again tomorrow after a sold out Christchurch.
And the other bids seem to have thrown thier cards on the table early. Nobody wants png, not even Justin Olem lol.
I still like Perth but they, if there's a they.. need to get a wriggle on.

Yeah mate, if it’s either NZ2 or Perth I’m not going to be disappointed but if it’s PNG or some other pasifika monstrosity then I’m gonna be fuming.

Perth Red said there has been no mention of the bid within the last 6 months. The Bye Round Podcast doesn't support his claim.

Did he? Oh well he’s technically wrong but I don’t care.

It is about as relevant (or irrelevant) as the NRL coaches survey or any opinion piece about expansion

100%
Pacifika is the dumbest thing in the history of things and putting a team in PNG that's not in PNG is a close second- really stupid.
My preference order:
1.NZ2
2.Perth
3.Adelaide
4. Fiji
5. Sunshine Coast
6. Ipswich ( Brisbane 3)
...
14. PNG

247. Pacifika
248. Kenya

Funny how you mentioned olam and then a lie
Justin said he doesnt want PNG based in cairns NOT he doesn't want it... are you Pippen94, seems like the kind of trolling im used to reading from him

Agree with me or I’ll call you a Nazi.

how can I be a racist when I want as many kumuls as possible in the NRL and super leaguemate.

it’s purely a financial issue.
For who? You? The NRL? seems that there is 2 govts pitching in for PNG, none for perth, and nz2 is using facebook to pitch to investors and are claiming they can enter by 2026, i think youre in love with an area not the bid or really what it can offer... thats called dots on a map approach OR ..... dont like 3rd world country having 1st world experiences

No, he said that they're not ready and need to build pathways first.
They don't have his support.
