MEDIA RELEASE - Phil Gould, Penrith Panthers executives visit PNG
Famous rugby league personality Phil Gould is part of a four-member Penrith Panthers delegation that will visit Port Moresby this weekend.
PNG Rugby Football League chairman Sandis Tsaka when announcing this said they appreciated the gesture of the Penrith Panthers following almost 12 months of dialogue.
We are looking at a long-term partnership with the Penrith Panthers and we appreciate their time and this great opportunity as they are the first NRL club that has reached out to PNGRFL, Tsaka said.
Tsaka said Gould, the Penrith Panthers Rugby League Chief Executive Officer Justin Pascoe, Marketing Manager Anthony Frantzis, Complete League Coach Owner and Creator Graham Windeatt will arrive on Saturday and among the discussions being planned, will watch the SP Hunters game against Wynnum Manly Seagulls on Sunday.
Among some of the points to be discussed include a joint membership between Penrith Panthers and PNGRFL programs which include the SP Hunters, a player pathway for PNG players into the NRL system, coaching assistance and the possibility of a trial match between Penrith Panthers NSW Cup and the Hunters.
We have been in discussions for over 12 months and over the weekend we hope to firm up things and sign an MOU to get this relationship to a stage where we can benefit from Penrith Panthers expertise in a wide range of areas, not just in football but administration among others.
Tsaka said that this is an opportunity that PNGRFL wanted to maximise as much as possible which will give us a template that we can use to foster similar relationships with other NRL clubs, who might be interested.
Gould is very popular to Papua New Guineans because of his work as a Channel 9 commentator, and former coach of the New South Wales Origin side, but now holds the position of Executive General Manager for Penrith Panthers.
Tsaka said PNGRFL was very privileged to have this visit by such a high powered delegation and have planned a series of activities such as a Meet-N-Greet do with many of their stakeholders including sponsors, and the SP Hunters and fans who purchase grandstand tickets following the Hunters versus Wynnum Manly game.
