Do you think that there isn't people in PNG living a primitive lifestyle?
Have you seen alone? They're living a primitive lifestyle.
What race lived primitively?
Here's a clue...all of them shit for brains.
"there isn't" primitive peoples!

f**k no you did. Have some f**king balls and back your opinion. I'm not digging through the posts and doing work for a racist piece of shit. Take a long walk off a pier Johnny.
You can me whatever you want pumpkin. I'd have to be true to unsettle me.
I'm picking up projection. Sad.

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.
When Penrith and Cronulla were admitted in 67 they were basically rural

Townsville in 95 couldn’t support a team and yet here they are today thriving

There’s a great chance it succeeds and if it doesn’t most of the money lost is the feds

this could and probably is a pivotal moment in the history of rugby league

Despite all of the problems the Cowboys endured in the 90s, they never had any trouble drawing strong revenue from sponsorship and corporate hospitality.

Brad Walter from NRL.COM covered this in an article about rationalisation in 2000.

Admission criteria

All clubs had to meet a Basic Criteria based on playing facilities, administration, solvency and development.

To determine which teams survived, clubs were ranked for the 1995, 1996, 1998 and 1999 seasons on:

  • Home crowds (1. Broncos, 2. Knights, 3. Eels);
  • Away crowds (1. Broncos, 2. Eels. 3. Roosters);
  • Competition points (1. Storm, 2. Broncos, 3. Bulldogs);
  • Gate receipts (1. Broncos, 2. Storm, 3. Knights);
  • Profitability (1. Bulldogs, 2. Panthers, 3. Sharks), and;
  • Sponsorship (1. Knights, 2. Broncos, 3. Cowboys).

Clubs were also required to have a minimum revenue of $8 million per season, including gate receipts of $1.25m and net sponsorship of $2.5m.

While the three Sydney clubs who had aligned with Super League – Canterbury, Penrith and Cronulla – were considered the most profitable, every non-Sydney club produced larger gate receipts than their Sydney rivals.

The final rankings were:

1 Brisbane, 2 Newcastle, 3 Melbourne, 4 Canterbury, 5 Cronulla, 6 Sydney Roosters, 7 Parramatta, 8 North Queensland, 9 Warriors, 10 Canberra, 11 Manly, 12 Penrith, 13 Balmain, 14 North Sydney 15 Western Suburbs, 16 South Sydney.


The money being spent on junior rugby league in PNG is great. That's making a positive difference to the lives of Papuans. More needs to be spent more on roads, schools, hospitals and housing for those living in poverty. Judicial reform and more resources for the police will help. It'll take 20 or 30 years to see a significant improvement.

Wasting money on a compound for NRL players doesn't address the problems that currently plague the country.

How many businesses can make money in PNG?

Coca Cola is one because it's an inexpensive product that's marketed heavily in third world countries like Brazil, Mexico and PNG.

You're not going to see car manufacturers trying to reach people in PNG because few people can afford a car.

Digicel might sponsor the team as it has the exclusive broadcast rights for NRL games in PNG.

Mining companies might throw a bit of coin at the club.

I would be surprised if the club generated more than a few million in sponsorship. Lesser brands like the Raiders only draw about $4.5m from sponsorship. The bigger clubs generate more than twice that amount.

Who sponsors the national stadium ? That industry makes billions off png ? What’s to stop a mining tax to support the team ?

They would probably do pretty well out of sponsorship, the mining companies are always trying a little pr with the locals. They would be sorted in that department.

A bit off topic but I'll bite.

That verdict has pretty much guaranteed him the Presidency.
America is f**ked regardless, too much debt. They will try to prop the economy up during an election year but after that no matter who's in , they're f**ked.
