How’s png ranking in world country status? But hey throw in some tiny dots in the South Pacific as well and rugby league has got this lol

be interesting to see if warriors can keep this momentum next few years and if that makes nrl look more seriously at a nz2 club in the next decade or two.

Running water and a stable electric supply would be more useful!

there will not be a team admitted before 2027, and it’s highly unlikely to be a Port Moresby team then. People are worried pkayers might not want to move to perth, how you going to start a team in png? Theyll either need massive cap concessions or develop a local squad which will take years, and then hope they aren’t signed by Australian teams!

All depends on where its based, who the coach is, and how quick they can recruit, the rest of the infrastructure is irrelevant, it can be built on the run, and in the dolphins case their NRL training base/barracks were built 6 months before kick off, and their own stadium has yet to be upgraded, which again can be done within a few seasons down the track..
If the rumours are true, training/base is in Cairns, and Bennett is floated to coach them, with pathways built by 2026, most home games are fifo into port moresby, and a few around the islands, its going to to be a massive ask for them to compete, but its a great way to get govt funding and pathways setup, i agree we probably wont see them come in till 2027, but what the PM wants to do is to announce it during 2025...
