A denizen of big footy wishes the project well (in the AFL is overtaking NRL in Qld thread)

Bit weird that the NRL is being used as a political tool for the Prime Minister to maintain alliances within the Pacific but I guess that just goes to show the power of sport. If a PNG team does succeed in the NRL then I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a push to start an AFL team there as well considering footy is the second most popular sport there. PNG technically falls under the Suns academy zone but the AFL might take it more seriously and start their own academy if the NRL can make it work.

After all in the NRL can make it work the AFL will achieve even better results

I don't give a f**k what you think really, you just seem to want to throw a tantrum on every post, what happens to the foreign aid budget and how its spent is not something we can change, all we do is pay our taxes, you seem to think that the sum of 600 million dollars or whatever sum the Australian government decides to handover is magically going to change things, it won't. Once you start with handouts, it never stops, no matter what the sum is.
I don't care that a portion of that foreign aid money builds a team from scratch, it will eventually become self sufficient, you only have to look at the oil and mining companies in the region, besides it seems more of you are upset that this is a foreign 3rd world country getting a leg up rather than somewhere like Perth or Adelaide, who are simply not interested in the sport... i hope it goes well, I'm a believer that its a charitable concept, even with the Karen's here poking holes into every fibre of the bid

That's quite the whinge. I guess you realise how bad it looks to openly want money taken off kids without clean drinking water just to the NRL can get it.

“600 million to an overseas nrl team in albos self declared favourite sport v 250 million for a Tasmania stadium that creates Australian jobs, benefits the economy, multiple sports, concerts and ensures Tasmania gets its long awaited footy team, it's a big difference.

Also the QLD government made promises to the lions that they wouldn't be out of pocket due to the gabba demolition, then backflipped the other day.

I'd be happy if no government money is spent on anything in the future too, although your mates in the nrl and soccer would go broke, they've never contributed to a stadium build like the AFL typically do.”

Claiming that PNG will have the biggest sponsorship of any NRL is just trolling.

The Hunters currently rely on Aus government funding to survive, now.

Do one second of research.

Demonstrate you're an ignorant imbecile, without saying you're an ignorant imbecile.
But they're going to be a powerhouse, despite the fact they wouldnt have any hope of existing without a massive handout.

I comprehended your posts just fine. You wanted money taken from the aid budget of a 3rd world country so it could go to the nrl, and then when that was pointed out to you, you chucked a tantrum.
