PNG's back.

f**k me, yes soapdodger

So the Australian taxpayers will be paying for this too?

 

[MugaB]

Ok a good competition you would want to model yourself on

Free money is pretty good for business

Spell out what you mean, it's a pretty vague comment "this"

 

[Colk]

Security

so your answer is no

you know better than pvl and Wayne Bennett

Unlike you I don’t have to check PVL and Bennett for my opinions. Answer yourself this question: did you enjoy being locked up during COVID-19?

There is a reason why being locked up causes depression and why depression soared during the lockdown.

It is to me.. but I'm not a coke snorting RL marquee athlete, like the ones you guys are assuming PNG needs.. who cares who this bid attracts, we are trying to garner the papuans into their own pathway, if they get 10 wooden spoons in a row then so be it, the game isn't losing money from their existence, I don't get why all this angst around team based in a foreign country, I get that you all want to shìt on the idea, but push come to shove the NRL is a business, and having the other already established teams collect spoons isn't great for business, cowboys are a great example of sitting around the bottom of their whole existence till Thurston got them in regular finals

So why aren't these Papuans playing NRL right now?

Forget the pathways claptrap because there is already one via the Queensland cup.
And forget about money - Australia has been pouring billions of dough into png for decades and the standard of living has gone down hill.

And please don't try and play the xenophobia card because I'm not. I'm a realist, the reality is that this is a pissing money up the wall exercise that makes Albo and co feel good.

They won’t be locked up

Pretty arrogant to think you know better than the people involved in this bid

you will look foolish down the track imo

Free money? That's mine and your 'free' money.

Really appeals to authority now?

Pretty foolish to believe everything you read or that people do things with the best intentions always in mind.

You seem to think that the hunters had a 1st grade pathway, where did there best players go on a weekly basis? While they versed the like of Norths devils or east tigers who were drafted their players into the broncos or storm... where did the hunters go?

 

[MugaB]

Free money? That's mine and your 'free' money.

Is it? Not sure the Government thinks that... ask for it back then... ask the moana Pasifika to close down and refund you

Insightful

If they are good enough they'll get picked up by an NRL club.

Surely if these players were good enough or playing well enough they would be picked up by somebody?

Also, if player development was the only or the main thing then simple link them to an NRL club and pour that money into junior development

Bullshit , it's been a decade, they are making their own now, suck it up buttercup

The govt money to develop those juniors is only available if they get an nrl team

second time I’ve had to say this

Ditto, see above

You do know that the NRL receiving money doesn't stop the government giving it to other codes?

So you're happy for tax payer money to be spent willynilly on a pipedream? Any money to png will be skimmed off by corruption.
