PNG's back.

[Pippen94]

Easts know they are way down the list so soon after the dolphins admission. Partnering with PNG confirms this. They'd be smarter to be Perths feeder club and keep relevance for about a decade.

Easts stronger bid than perth

They're gambling on being able to take control of the license once the inevitable happens and the funding for a PNG side runs dry.

In some ways something like this is probably the smartest way of attempting a PNG side, as that way you have a built in plan B for when the inevitable happens and everything turns to shit, but it's also a double edged sword because it's the most tokenistic way to run a "PNG side" and shows how little faith there is in the concept. I mean it'd be a joke for a "Papuan" side to play half their home games out of Brisbane...

I can't see either PNG's or Easts fans getting behind it. Who in brissy would go for a PNG club? It won't be called either brisbane or tigers.
Sounds as bad as the bears bid.

Brisbane Tigers and the Bears …

The arlc should base the location of its teams based on his poor life choices

imagine being a pommie league fan where the game is marginalised

you move to a country where it’s one of the biggest sports

then you pick the bit that has no league team

When I’m in Melbourne and I see guy bouncing a sherrin around it’s just an alien environment

I could never live in a fumbler state after growing up in a city which is absorbed by rugby league

going to Melbourne is way different to going to Brisbane even if the demographic of melb is closer to Sydney than Brisbane

PNGRL have been clear they want to own the license and play most, if not all, games in PNG. Good luck Easts lol, you're starting to become the next Bears.

They kind of are maybe the two can merge and have play at 12 different home grounds across 6 different countries and 4 different states in Australia

at least the bears are trying to get their name back in the NRL. East Tigers will have to be happy with the club being callled PNG Bengals.
Nothing screams Brissy like the PNG Bengals

If the team does base itself in Cairns then Barlow Park might get an earlier than expected upgrade.

You are so jealous it’s hilarious

Not at all. I can see no sustainability in whats being proposed. Id rather have no club than one destined to fall over in a few years.

It's getting an upgrade for the Olympics. An NRL team might get it done sooner.

It's just like when V'landys announced Brisbane would get the 17th licence. That really ticked him off.

Did you miss the word 'temporary'?

The QRL should requeat a second grandstand be built on the eastern side of the ground. It'll be good soe 2 or 3 NRL games a year.

You’re nailing all these people who said Perth would be in and not Brisbane 2

now after the fact they all knew the dolphins were team 17

Did you miss the part that said "includes a new 5000-seat grandstand"?

They've changed their tune to pretend they knew the Dolphins would be successful. Dane is the only one still claiming it's a disaster for having the second highest sponsorship revenue, second best attendances and fifth best TV ratings. I
