You ready to pay your debt?

$270-280m will go towards pathways in the Pacific and building up rugby league in those areas.
“Another about $280m will go towards the team, making sure they can operate and functional.
“And about $50-60m will be divided amongst the existing clubs to make sure they’re on board with everything.”

$28 million a year to pathways. Nice. No comments about a new stadium/compound?

Don't forget there will be a nrlw team too, Andrew hill has mentioned this a few times before, they did float the fact the nrlw side would be based in png, while they were floating the idea of men's side being based in Cairns or png

Yep @Wb1234 bet png would be in nrl before 2027. Even he is now conceding they won’t be. Time for him to pay up!

Around 2052 is my prediction

 

[MugaB]

Bets on, lol

I actually reckon it's 2029, maybe 2030 all depending on if this Perth govt is pushing its case harder

Oh no, you've gone bitter..

 

[MugaB]

Oh no, you've gone bitter..

PERF BITTER!! The warmest beer on the planet

PERF BITTER!! The warmest beer on the planet

Enjoying my warm bitters, proper beer.

Proper shit... no beer should be warm, that's called piss

 

[Perth Red]

Proper shit... no beer should be warm, that's called piss

It’s cellar temp, as any beer you actually want to taste should be.

Pss is served so cold it dulls the taste buds so you can’t tell what youre drinking.

Imo it’s coming out of the money allocated to the nrl club

the club certainly won’t be getting 30 million pa

 

[titoelcolombiano]

Not sure if this team will work long term or not but amazing to see the work being put in in PNG. It will be huge for the international game regardless. It's low hanging fruit, turn a fanatical RL nation into a highly competitive nation.

Personally I think if the same effort and investment was put into France, we'd have yet another highly competitive side.

 

[titoelcolombiano]

One thing we never seem to discuss is the branding. Do we think it will be the Hunters in the NRL?
