PNG's back.

[Gordie]

PNG will be the stepping stone to a team in Fiji and or Tonga / Samoa

at NRL level?

And they are right about comparing how cricket was brought into India and league in png

colonalism?

Fiji put in a bid or were rumoured to be interested

Not any time soon but after Adelaide Brisbane 3 and another nz team sure why not

Fiji will have close to a million pop

Fiji currently has a population of 930k so in 20 years time it should be well over the 1 million mark.

The full segment about 8 minutes long.
WA briefly mentioned towards the end too.

“Some people are on 49% tax” - PVL

 

[Perth Red]

Will tax benefits help png get players ? Answer is yes.

I dare say he’s still wrong cause it’s png tax they would pay not Aussie and I’m not sure what the tax rates are there

I'll give you a clue, its not 49%

 

[mikail-eagle]

I'll give you a clue, its not 49%

Maximum PNG tax rates for non nationals is 42%.

 

[Perth Red]

I don't think Pete has access to google lol
I wonder if Albo will go over there for the Pm XIII and they announce it there? Sees an ideal opportunity

 

[Wb1234]

I’ll give you a clue

The exact number doesn’t matter

Isn’t there a new bears jersey design you could be talking about than wasting time for people who are interested in a png nrl team

Assuming an average tax rate of 30 percent then it means a huge saving for players

Someone sounds a bit afraid of the competition from a png team

Never argued that being tax free wouldnt be an incentive to some for a short period.
Yeh Perth or Port Moresby. For a player with a young family earning a mint and looking for sponsor endorsements it'd be a tough choice!

But that has nothing to do with Vlandys making sht up to try and sell an argument.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

Bring on the PNG team. There’s so much untapped raw rugby league talent there. Even if we can harness 0.0001% of the 10million known population that’s 1,000 potential players to stream into the NRL and NRLW competitions. If only 20-50 of that 1,000 potential players are talented enough to make regular first grade then that’s a win.

That pool will only increase with the right pathways, infrastructure and systems in place. Persistence is the key.

If I were the NRL I would ask and pay to have some of the best talent identifiers from club land spend a few weeks in the coming off seasons in assisting the PNG franchise work out how best to set up shop.

His argument was tax incentives will attract players

lol

No tax and lower travel times and coming in a year after you

Jealousy is a curse

Pvl made the point tax incentives aren’t just for the nrl team but also for the people who will work in development so they want to attract the best people

Not sure about PNG being the biggest domestic RL club in the world but PNG as a national RL team has the potential to be the #1 RL playing nation on the planet.

Someone made a point of comparing it to Brazil and the players that come from there in particularly from the poor, incredibly high crime rate ridden favelas. Great comparison.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The PNG team will secure world peace, solve world hunger and turn that country into a super power.
