Why not just invest a few mill or so annually into PNG pathways, wouldn't that yield the same results? For far less money and risk?

Govt is willing to underwrite the whole team, are you not comprehending this? Who the f**k is paying for that pathway system? The only reason this is going ahead coz RL gets paid for nothing and reaps the rewards that a new pathways gets built by the govt, the rest is inconsequential, if it makes money on its own then great thats a plus, you really not looking at this from a ARLC point of view are you?

Who funds it when the Govt money is gone?

How are they going to attract players when they FIFO every week?

What about security?

They will be non event on Australian TV, who covers that?

Who cares its built by then, all you gotta do is maintain it and divert it towards the cowboys (being the nearest club) or other clubs that want to use it as a feeder system, much like what the QRL and NSWRL get paid to do... you're really not in the RL camp here, its no wonder why you question or poopoo every bid in these expansion threads, next youll be slamming the Western Pasifika thread

We've been putting money into their schools for 10 years and it hasn't worked. I'm not sure how even more money and an NRL team is supposed to change that.

Top flight team seemed to help the cowboys acheive its goals, top flight team has given us a presence in Melbourne and Auckland, could do it with Perth and PNG

Who is funding it, once it's "built"?

These are wealthy areas that are not even remotely comparable to PNG.

And EVEN then both Auckland and NQ went broke

"Much like what The QRL and NSWRL get Paid to do"
Take a cut of the pie, if its yeilding results it deserves a cut, no?
So the ARLC will fund an NRL team it's support and all its administration costs?

That's not viable in the slightest.
