New PNG franchise will offer NRL players a ‘permanent holiday’, says Peter V’landys

The Australian Rugby League Commission chair has promised ‘resort-style’ accommodation attractive to the talent required for the club to be competitive

Vlandys answered the question of ownership of the new club. Previous media reports had mentioned the club being owned by a pensions fund but Vlandys has confirmed it will be a members owned model same as Perth.


“This team will be owned by the people of Papua New Guinea. The team will be a member-based team, and so every person in Papua New Guinea can be a member.
"It's their team, and we want them to embrace their team and the best way to embrace their team is to have a membership model."

'The next Penrith': PNG team tipped for success

ARLC Chair Peter V’landys has predicted the PNG team entering the NRL in 2028 could rival Penrith after visiting the proposed site for accommodation and a Centre of Excellence in Port Moresby.

There are about 3 sites being looked at for the player resorts including already existing apartment complexes.
It will be one of the first orders of business that this Board will have to decide on.

This includes deciding on the COE and from what I heard ye0sterday the COE will be built somewhere close to Santos National Football Stadium.

 

[mikail-eagle]

Below are the sites available in vicinity of Santos National Football Stadium.
1. Outer Rugby League field at the Santos National Stadium. Its currently used by the Port Moresby Rugby League
for the Citys Domestic Competition. - Could be an option for a COE.
2. Rita Flynn Netball Courts Complex. Currently used by PNG Netball - Unlikely for a COE.
3. Bisini Softball Precinct. Used for Softball games by the Port Moresby Softball Association. Unlikely for a COE.
4. Empty oval. Used to be for AFL but the AFL competition has moved elsewhere. Could be option for COE.
5. Port Moresby Bowling Club. - Very unlikely for COE.
6. Bisini Cricket Grounds. - Unlikely for COE.
7. Bisini Cricket Grounds. - Unlikely for COE.
8. Bisini Soccer Grounds - Unlikely for COE.
9. Bava Rugby Park- Used by Port Moresby Rugby Union - Unlikely for COE.

Has to be on the water to be a true resort

Hope it’s the site you previously highlighted that looks a cracker

I wonder who owns it hope it’s the team itself that will be a significant asset especially if they can put some commercial in it like shops gyms retail etc
