We have been told time and again by PVL and Abdo that the PNG NRL team will change their society …this may very well extend to their gender and Domestic Violence problems ….

According to his very own words below … the team and money spent on pathways will provide incentive for their kids to attend school and get an education and it will lift their country out of poverty …according to the below interview he specifically says this could be done in 10-20 years ..

Now many other experts on PNG might say that PVL is at best naive and at worst outright lying about this …but never underestimate the good that Rugba Leeg can do… next stop should be the Middle East .. Get teams from Tel Aviv and Gaza playing against each other in the NRL …that would promise to be a fiery clash…


With this whole process, They'd be going on govt advice. Both govt would be pushing this... how realistic it is. Time will tell

Move up fellas, there's another member of the peanut gallery.

As if an NRL team or players are having anything to do with the plebs. They are seperate discussions

Australia sent 4 teams up there last week and there was no danger to any player or offical...

There was local shit going on though

Comparing a city like Port Moresby with a murder rate of 54 per 100000 versus a city like Sydney with a homicide rate of 1.2 in 100000.

Why was there no danger - probably had a platoon of security protecting them.

But again. Players come to the areas here and walk the street at unsafe times and live in these shit holes.

Players in PNG won't even be able to shit without a security guard being there.

Players will be much safer in the compound up there than in certain areas here.

The hope would be that the $600m put into education etc gets that murder rate down.

The billions in aid over the last 50 or more years hasn't brought it down.
Rugby league is a great game but it's not a miracle worker.

I can't speak for where the aid went but there towns here they pay up to $200k for NRL games, So there must be flow on somewhere.

It won't get Tourist money like towns here do. But the average wage in PNG is 1/4 of here.

The club directly is getting $15m in grant for football operations, if the govt is kept out of that part then that should flow down.

The players will need to eat, have haircuts and so on. So that alone brings money to country that isn't there currently.

The compound will have maintence, cleaners etc. they will be locals because no one is moving up there to clean shitters.

So you are looking at more employment that is without school attendance increasing which is unknown.

So I can see some improvement, Not sure if it is what the govt says or is hoping but still improves the country slightly

It’s like the png haters have never heard of the png hunters
It's like you only deal in love and hate like a tweenage girl.

Rationally analysing the pros and cons of something is what adults do.

I await your usual laughing emoji which is about the level of response that can be expected from a swans supporting peanut.
