What do we think?
Stick with Hunters or come up with new name?
Stick with national colours of red, black and yellow or go for somethign different to the national side?

Hunters for mine. The name is already established, so have some supporters already.

Colours: Really shouldn't be PNG's national colours. Leave that for the national team. A variation of them, sure, but that's going to be a tougher thing with Dolphins and Perth coming in ahead of them and the colour combinations involving red, black, gold, and white being utilised by those two newest teams.

Things are quiet in Aust media about PNG … hopefully a mix of Perth Bears being the shiny new thing and there still being two and a half years until they come in…

There is still a lot to be done though so I hope things are under way behind the scenes that we hear over this way …

Personally on the name ..I’d be up for a different one than the Hunters …it was said that there was going to be some kind of vote or something for the locals to pick the name ?

Surprised we haven’t got a brand nailed down by now but still time I guess. PNG Volcanos has a ring to it. Don’t hate Hunters but would prefer a new name/brand.

Colours I’d also prefer something different than Kumuls colours. Maybe a yellow base to represent PNG then add something other than red & black. Similar to what Storm & Broncos did, take the state colour then add a unique colour or 2.

Not sure if it's a good idea. But I've always liked aliteration with Team names. Think Brisbane Broncos.

PNG Pythons (Papua Pythons)
Could get a really unique jersey design going by mirroring some local Python species patterns straight onto the jersey. Think in the same vein as the Leigh Leopards.

For example:
Juvenile green tree python (Morelia viridis), Lakekamu, Papua New Guinea

The NRL’s 17th team were the Dolphins. The 18th team in 2027 will be the Bears. And in 2028, could the NRL witness the arrival of the Papua New Guinea Angels?
ARL Commission boss Peter V’landys has revealed the Angels are among a number of nicknames being thrown up ahead of PNG joining the NRL premiership.

With the dust settling on the announcement of the Perth Bears entering the big league, the NRL will now begin ramping-up plans for the set up of the code’s first Pacific franchise in 2028.


One suggestion is the Angels in honour of the ‘Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels’. That was the name given by Australian soldiers to the PNG heroes who helped injured Aussie troops amid the Kokoda Campaign that staved off Japanese invasion during World War II.

“I don’t know what the team name will be at this stage,” ARLC boss V’landys said.

“There has been a suggestion for the team to be called the PNG Angels.

“I’ve had one very creative person suggest that nickname because of PNG’s history with Australia and it’s not a bad idea, but there will be a number of options considered.”
