The way the media has gone on a roll with it is very reminiscent of when team 17/Brisbane 2 was up for grabs and the media essentially ignored all bidders but the Dolphins. We all know what happened there so I’m thinking the same might be happening again.
well V'landys got invited to the white house so I'm guessing Rugby League will be playing some part in international politics.

Isn't this a bit like saying, in other news water is wet?

What else do we expect to be covered in the PNG papers sports section? Lacrosse?

Don't be too hard on him. @Wb1234 only became an expert on all things PNG in the last week, so .pg and "printed in Port Moresby" could have meant anything.

It's even an odd tweet for Brad Walter.

I think RL journos are so used to the angle of 'how much coverage did the game get in the back pages" when outside of QLD and NSW he forgot that RL is no1 in PNG

any news on the PNG team that was trying to get into the NSW cup? Not sure it makes sense entering the NSW cup, but if they could get a second state cup level team it would increase their depth
It was meant to be the PM Vipers, latest I read about was that they were preparing their application for inclusion. Not heard since, think that would be great and can also have annual battle of PNG game between Vipers and Hunters (QRL vs NSWRL). Btw I think Vipers is a great brand name.

The Vipers played in the first two seasons of the Queensland Cup.

What ever any of us think we are probably looking at PNG team as the 18th NRL club with the money on offer and no financial risks and with the club based in North Queensland and flying in and out on match days the same with the visiting team.

Given that you are mentally challenged, your opinion is a massive arsehole

Sorry if this has already been posted but PVL has confirmed PNG as the 18th team.

“He (The Prime Minister) has a vision for the 18th team. The commission shares that vision. It’s not just about the 18th team and the impact on the NRL. It’s about participation and pathways in PNG. It’s a benefit to the whole of PNG.”

Has he consulted with Head of WWOS?

How is there "no financial risks" when 1 of the 2 major parties is likely to drop it the next time they are in govt?
