Interesting that there is talk about Nathan Brown heading back home to the dragons. I hope it’s wrong
Acually we’ve just lost out elite pathways coach Joey Grima to PNG. He’s been signed to assist with development. Has been hand picked by the NRL and will advise on the 18th bid from a pathways POV.



PNG PATHWAYS
PNG has stepped up its plans to be ready to be part of the NRL’s expansion by hiring its first full-time pathways coach.

Decorated assistant coach Joey Grima will step into the role and relocate to Port Moresby in the coming weeks where he will run the development in PNG.

Grima has spent time as an assistant coach at St George Illawarra and Cronulla before taking on the head coaching job at London Broncos. He more recently has been working with Parramatta’s pathway system.

Grima’s appointment shows how serious PNG are about becoming the NRL’s 18th team as they set up a model where the best local talent will be nurtured into potential first graders.

ARL commissioner Kate Jones spent some time in Port Moresby this week and held meetings with key stakeholders who are part of the PNG bid team.

A less interesting fact about Joey Grima is that he was the hooker for FPB in the Commonwealth Bank Cup game I watched this weekend - the 1991 final between Patrician Brothers Fairfield and St Gregorys at Parra Stadium.
