I’m trying not to be mean to people

but amongst 19 million people there will be more than enough rich people to support this bid financially including many Australian mining companies

assuming the whole country is absolutely broke is fairly sinplistic thinking
Yes, that's what RL should be about.

The elite few.

And even better our foreign aid be diverted to a pool of 30 Papuans whilst others starve.

But you do peek mate and report. And your fans are Brain the Putin lover and the Donkey. Winner!

Pick New Zealand then. To be fair if player development centrally tied to a region is the only factor or the main factor then we would have a completely different competition with a completely different set of teams or areas represented.

Ultimately, though every team has to be self reliant or sustainable at a bare minimum. The fact that this proposal is reliant on governments completely underpinning it, in perpetuity or at least a very long time, is an absolutely massive red flag. Also I agree that those areas that I mentioned, some would be small or ineffectual or have problems but at the very least they could sustain themselves. That’s why they would be better options.

NZ would actually be my pick for team 18

Hunters are getting Aust Govt funding, As does the Fiji Ron Massey Cup team. So you combine that for starters.
Then you add what the salary Cap, Tourism and the other benefits that would come from the upgrade infastructure.

Is Northern NSW or Central QLD any better? Atleast there are miners who put money into PNG

Wouldn't those 30 spend money locally? Send money to their villages?

This is a conversation for why down the line

Depends where they are based.

If it’s cairns as many have proposed then no.

As for sending money back home to their villages this again hinges on how many kumuls would actually be in the 30 man squad.

Sure he’s a poor troll but I enjoy making him look the fool that he is.

it’s actually quite entertaining for me.
Nice fit. Perths most miserable Pom and Putin’s number one fan boy. I hope you will be happy. Once the Donkey joins in it will be the perfect thruple!

Maybe your great mate Putin could chip in?

What Australian players are going to go and live in PNG? It will be all islanders

What’s putin got to do with a PNG NRL franchise mate?
It’s related to the fact you have told us all that he’s your hero. It means that it’s great for people to understand you are a nut job. It means we can judge you on the fact that your views are extreme and quite frankly ridiculous. Once we know that we can get some perspective on anything you post. I hope this helps,

None you would imagine but I thought that was the idea of basing them in cairns?

A potential PNG NRL would surely need a large influx of non kumuls or they would get hammered by 50-60 points each game?

They'd need non Kumal coaching staff but players could be developed from the Pacific Islands

So in other words he’s got nothing to do with it and I was right about you using non-sequiturs when you can’t counter an opposing view.

Also please quote me when I’ve said putin was my hero and while you’re at it when I said the US wants to invade Russia.
