PNG's back.

240 million to a stadium precinct is Hobart for AFL team committed by the federal government.
Does this dampen hopes for funding a PNG team or Pasifika?

I’d suggest this budget will see a number of big project announcements with our stadium being just one of them

They're totally unrelated. As of right now this remains a pipe dream and i'll continue thinking that until it's announced.

I reckon PNG I a shoe in now... I reckon the AFL wanted a staduim because PNG would be funded by Australian Government.

It’s kind of what I’m thinking. Amounts are too similar.

Did you ask this question about the Tasmanian afl team ?

 

[Perth Red]

Did you ask this question about the Tasmanian afl team ?

No, because we know the answer. afl has a variable grant scheme
But back to nrl……. Who do you think pays for png after the govt money stops?

Of course you didn’t

get ready for the announcement by the feds now it’s rugby leagues turn to get some sweet federal money

You’re failing to answer the question

 

[Wb1234]

You’re failing to answer the question

Been discussed a million times before previously including by you

everything is looking like the deal is done

announce money to afl then announce money for png so nobody can complain about favouritism

the arlc has played a blinder

 

[Perth Red]

So who’s paying the bills when the govt doesn’t? I havent seen anyone answer that question beyond “well they could just be moved”!

If you think nrl is going to introduce a club with a limited lifespan youve got rocks in your head.

a club need to generate at least $15mill a year now. Simple question, how does a png club do that once there is no more govt money?

You praised the afl expansion and they are doing exactly that

the double standards are real

PNG thread. Come on answer the question!

You’re the biggest cheerleader for them so tell us your thoughts on what happens when the govt money dries up.

1 funding will never get cut
2. Png sponsorship means the club is actually viable on it own
3. Relocation
4. Nrl via a higher grant than anyone else

well done, we got there in the end lol

1.its a daydream to think govt funding will be indefinite
2. Thirld world country, never going to happen. Not to mention sponsorship is just one third of the $15mill. Fan revenue and game day corporate sales make up the rest.
3.just lol, let’s bring in a club we know can’t survive long term, yeh nah.
4. The nrl grant doesn’t cover the $32mill ayear a club needs to operate.

but yeh you make a compelling case for the sustainability of a png club!

How so?
Assuming the funding is greenlit for both,

The AFL get the demands they want
And we get the govs vanity project they want

Do you really think if the NRL got to choose where to spend 240mil it would be on a money pit in PNG?

 

[Canard]

Something as big a political hot potato as the Aus Govt funding a NRL team to tune of a quarter a billion dollars, would have leaked to the media by now.

It's not happening.
