Not direct ones.
1hr 20mins cairns-port moresby
3hrs 15mins Brisbane - port moresby

Easts owning a PNG club makes as much sense as NS owning a perth club lol.
Only in Rugba league
Don’t worry there is still the bears to join up with Perth as team 19

remind me again weren’t you the poster who was saying how strong easts Brisbane are and they should be in the nrl ?

and also the same person who questioned how a png team would go if the govt cut off funding ?

worry no longer it’s all sorted

No, I was saying how strong they are and they could be a success in the NRL. If they should be in is a different question.

The answer to the risk of long term viability for a PNG side should not be to move them to Brisbane lol

Condition of the license that png gets 8 games a year

news ltd won’t complain either about easts tigers joining this and broadcasters will love more brisbane content

this is a strong bid from every angle

Just forget about the pacifika angle that’s the bad bit

ah that old chestnut, like making NS stay in Perth. Which in reality for both cases the NRl would not be in a position to enforce. even less so in PNG's case.

News ltd already are through their club, just this week in fact when they said there should be no more clubs based in Brisbane

whats a strong bid? PNG or Tigers or Tigers+PNG (which isnt a bid yet)?

NRL arent forgetting about it, they have specifically said it would be a Pasifika club, as batsht crazy an idea as that is.

Yes the nrl has no power over clubs if they want to relocate lmao

png plus federal govt money plus brisbane tigers = strong

you think the dog is wagging the tail? Thats naive!

Can you imagine any other sport thats says: 'we are going to set up an unviable club for a country that we cant actually base the club in and that is reliant on the whims of govt funding it"?
Just for a second put the show on the other foot and consider what you would be posting if the AFL said they were going to set up a club in third world country but base it in Perth to make it a safer option. You would, quite rightly, pss yourself laughing.

Flights to png from Brisbane are faster than cairns

Brisbane tigers are rich so even if govt cuts off money it won’t matter

no more than four games at Suncorp

their 50 million in assets is a huge win for the nrl

a powerhouse

so @Pippen94 was right team 18 will be brisbane too

tv companies will love the brisbane connection too
What planet are you on cairns is and hour direct flight, brisbane would be three at least...
Do you know geography...
Brisbane tigers won't get the license anyways, PVL has already stated the Pacifika licence will stay with PNG, its really not in any other bids interest to join with it...they wont own the licence

Hahahahaha PVL said that yes that brisbane is closer to the pacific and png than cairns, wery wery funny

Beisbane tigers want a license end of... they want to be suncorp fulltime end of, anything they say now is to get this pacifika licence away from PNG, we are dealing with slime here
The bears also want a license, but they are more open to playing home games interstate as long ad they get their token NSO games, colors and mascot involved at the forefront... both of them wont get this

Tasmania's Gross State Product is about $10B more then PNGs nominal GDP.

WA's is $260B more then PNGs

They are viable because the afl has a model that makes them so. Are you suggesting the nrl should adopt their model and offer lots more money to clubs that can’t stand on their own feet?
