PNG crowd violence exposed!

Welcome to the subconscious of every person who wants to deny PNG a chance to be an equal member in the RL world. This is what it looks like. To deny it is to be complicit in the power balance that creates this attitude - at best.

f**k :crazy:

I'm one of the people who want them to do well in internationals and I def want them to get a team in the NRL eventually.

If that takes 10/15/20 years, who cares, doesn't make me a racist.

But I can't see them being ready for 2015 or whatever, I just can't.

I can see them making a real go of it by the time the TV rights after this lot are done though.

My favourite part(s) of the video was, ok, the crowd sitting down when told to made my jaw drop...

But I also thought it was a great moment where Bird and the PNG player swapped jerseys... You can tell not only are our players highly admired by the fans over there, but also by the players themselves!...

does anyone realistically see them as being as ready any time soon? Maybe in 20-30 years

East Coast Tiger does and when anyone dares say they aren't ready they are called racist and narrow minded.
Fact remains that PNG is a RL madhouse, but is also a country that needs to sort out many many other things before getting an NRL team,, but ECT reckons they should get the team now and that will immediately sort out every problem the country has.

This was the tame part. What you didn't see was the rocks being thrown from outside onto the field and rioting outside. Players had to huddle in the middle of the field while things were hurled over the stands.

You're a f**kin liar. As well as a union troll and a bigot.

I have never said PNG should have an NRL team "now". Prove I did. That's if you can give up some of your time trolling RL forums pretending to be a NZ RL fan when in fact you are an Irish RU bigot or give up the time you spend trying to belittle the people of PNG by finding reports of crime in the press and using them to suggest the whole nation is sub-human.

That's what this comes back to, the fact that westerners prefer to consider people from places like PNG as inferior and to deny them the same opportunities as westerers to keep them in the same state of oppression that helps them justify their bigotry, at least in their own small minds.

The violence at PNG games always seems, to me, to be hugely exaggerated nothingness. All I ever see in these videos are over-eager police and security treating fans like cattle.
