PNG's back.

Albanese and V'landys are f**kwits for allowing it to progress this far. Every club has a vote on matters that are brought before the ARLC. They were always going to use their voting power to get a significant chunk of monkey out of this corrupt deal.

Albanese deserves to be voted out in a landslide for putting this preposterous deal on the table during a cost of living crisis.

There are hard working tax paying Australians who are forced to live in a tent due to the housing crisis. Anyone who tries to justify this cash grab by V'landys is an arsehole and an extremist who lives in a bubble.

Now on the doll point to the place where Albo touched you.

There are Aboriginals living a subsistence life in Australia right now. Is Australia a primitive country?

No.
Let's see if you can do some math: Port Moresby is PNG biggest , most affluent capital city... and it's population is 500k...

Papua New Guinea's Poverty Rate

Papua New Guinea's poverty rate can be largely attributed to a lack of knowledge of effective farming methods and an uncommitted government.

Yea the stilt house shit is racist as f**k dude. Stilt houses are prevalent through all of SEA coastal regions for obvious reasons. You're putting them up as some kind of "look how primitive they are". Its a country that is mostly jungle(where most the population live) so its a stupid point anyway.

The point is no one from Australia and New Zealand would want to live in one. A PNG-based NRL team will be sourcing its players from Australia and New Zealand.

They have nationwide FTA TV as well so why would they need streaming?

Because NRL games are broadcast exclusively on Digicel for $78Au a month?

There are plenty of points against a PNG team without being ignorant.

Mate, you didn't know that NRL games are not broadcast on FTA in PNG. You're not in any position to call anyone ignorant.

I was replying to Canard who said that PNG had basically NO internet access.

Your figures are also two years old. The same company you're quoting has an update from January 2024 (see link below). The numbers now are.

• There were 2.81 million internet users in Papua New Guinea at January 2024.
  
  A total of 3.84 million cellular mobile connections were active in Papua New Guinea in early 2024, with this figure equivalent to 36.9 percent of the total population.

Other sites estimate in May 2024 at 3-3.5 million internet users. As I said in the reply post (link below), the conservative number is now 3 million internet users. The reason being is that there has been a 4G rollout across the country and more areas now have access.

3 millions vs NO internet access. One of these numbers is an accurate number. The other is a racist and ignorant number.

PNG's back.

It's hard to swallow all of this foreign aid on a PNG-BASED football team when small businesses are struggling to survive because the idiots running the place are driving up the cost of living with dumb green policies and a high tax rate. The forced shut down of small businesses in 2020 and...

The average internet speed in PNG is 13Mbps.

More work needs to be done to make streaming a viable way to watch RL in PNG.

You're kidding yourself. I could post articles all day long highlighting the sad state of that nation, and it's truly sad! What's worse is nothing is done about it! You want to pretend it's all sweet..it's not! It's f**ked up. How many people died in social unrest there? How many kids can't read? How many women are bashed and abused? No running water! No proper medical care!
It's just kilometres from Australia's coast and nobody cares!
All you care about is a stupid f**king Rugby league team! That's all that makes the news!
Hundreds of people died in a landslide but what gets the headlines? A f**king Rugby league team! Are they meeting in cabinet to send aid and rescue helicopters? No, they are meeting to discuss funding for a f**king Rugby league team.
They haven't even recovered the bodies and the clubs in Australia have their hands out for cash!

But go on.. put your head in the sand.. PNG is a wonderful paradise where Rugby league dreams come true.

Absolute bullshit.

I'm against the proposal because it has zero chance of succeeding and will damage the NRL brand.

No player is going to relocate their family to Port Moresby when they can live safely on a large property in Brisbane or Sydney.

How many players, wives and girlfriends (plus their children) will agree to be confined to a compound in the second most dangerous country on the planet?

That rules out NRL standard players to build a team around. Without NRL standard players there's no way the team can be competitive. Cowboys won just two games in 1995 with a weak squad.

Viewership for PNG's games will be abysmal if they're getting smashed by 50 points every week. Fielding an uncompetitive team will devalue the worth of the 9th game and impact future broadcast deals. Cowboys didn't have a game broadcast in Sydney on Ch9 until 2004 because they were a basket case between 1995-03.

Here's some more crucial information that shows just how much work needs to be done in PNG to make it ready for an NRL team.

Papua New Guinea’s population of 7.5 million is young and growing. The country has an abundance of natural resources and geographic proximity to rapidly growing Asian markets. Its population is strikingly diverse, speaking over 800 languages.

The country's economy remains dominated by two sectors: the agricultural, forestry and fishing sector, which engages most of the labour force; and the minerals and energy extraction sector, which accounts for the majority of export earnings and GDP.

Despite recent strong economic growth, over 3 million people live below the national poverty line, mostly in rural areas. Young people in particular face limited opportunities in rural areas, where many have never acquired any formal education. Inequality remains high in Papua New Guinea; an estimated 20 per cent of the population earns 80 per cent of total income. A large majority of the population (87 per cent) is rural and dependent mainly on semi-subsistence agriculture.

Agriculture accounts for approximately a third of GDP and employs 80 per cent of the working population. The sector is dominated by smallholder farming systems.

Coffee and cocoa are the main cash crops, employing half of the total labour force. The cost and availability of modern inputs and technologies, lack of irrigation and poor access to support services all contribute to low yields. The World Bank has estimated that coffee yields are reduced by 30 to 50 per cent because of a lack of support services and efficient farming techniques. Logistical costs are high due to the poor transport network and lack of market organization and market information, discouraging small farmers.

Agricultural development is hampered by weather extremes and hazards related to climate change. Most recently, this has included frost brought by El Niño, affecting one third of the population. As a result, more than one million people face serious food insecurity in vulnerable parts of the highlands and lowlands.

The road system in PNG is terrible due to the terrain and poverty. Major cities like Port Moresby and Lae aren't connected via road.
