PNG's back.

Ok, this is by a person who specialises in national security.. but what about all the NRL fans that subscribe to Joe Rogan & sky news & know this is already a disaster?!

Jeez, that's a wide net.
What if you only are interested in some Rogan guests, a small fact based fraction of Sky reporting and remain sceptical but optimistic??
Dare I say it..
An individual.

that’s a pretty good article

Imagine all our journos wrote and talked like that how much more fun it would be being a league fan

So assuming this is def happening.

Anyone care to search trademarks for a rego name ? I hope they don't go for something silly like PNG United.

 

[Matt_CBY]

They’ll be called PNG NRL BID

Fair question, New Guinea Spears?

For all the media hype.. I still don't see it for some time yet, maybe a pre commitment for 2030 sounds more reasonable.

The PNG government funding doesn't start until 2028 and that is supposedly for the security and accommodation ( high performance centre) which all has to be built.. maybe at least a 2 year build?

Only hope now is that we at least get a decision next week on something!!

Surely they could be the Hunters in the NRL if the PNG Hunters “left” the QLD Cup and was replaced by a PNG Somethings.

Leave PNG name for the national team

Locals should name team. Interesting if PNG hunters remain they'll be three PNG teams; kumals, hunters & NRL club.

Vipers or crocodiles for me

But there’s this

“Displayed on the national flag is the Raggiana Bird of Paradise, Paradisaea (Latin for paradise) Raggiana, named for Marquis FM Raggi, an Italian naturalist and collector in New Guinea.”

Papua New Guinea: forty years of independence

Although European navigators visited and explored the Papua New Guinea islands for 170 years, little was known of the Papua New Guinea inhabitants until the late 19th century.

PNG Crocodiles

I’d prefer they keep Hunters in QCup as a separate entity, they can also run juniors in the QLD systems.

For the NRL make a new brand, I like Crocodiles, or use Vipers assuming that isn’t too problematic. Run reserves and juniors in the NSW systems which are at this point basically just NRL reserve grade & under 21s minus the QLD clubs.

Gives coverage from 16s to Open age, get those pathways pumping.

Juniors:
Junior club and Highschool Competitions
U16 - Hunters (Cyril Connell)
U17 - Crocodiles (Harold Matts)
U18 - Hunters (Mal Meninga)
U19 - Crocodiles (SG Ball)
U21 - Crocodiles (Jersey Flegg) or NYC if it returns.

Adult:
Crocodiles (NRL)
Hunters (QLD Cup)
Crocodiles (NSW Cup)
