PNG's back.

f**k me this stinks to high heaven. Being used as an arm of the government's soft power in an utterly futile attempt to try and somehow curb China.

V'Landys is a sycophant and fraud.

Has bipartisan support been confirmed? Or have the libs at least agreed not to scuttle funding if / when elected?

None of this matters to me.

I want to hear from the game and the successful bid about the actual competition and the actual franchise.

Think this reeks of politics. Tennis Albo wants a legacy since The Voice died in the arse.

Can't see many top players wanting to live in Port Moresby.

I know. I'm watching, what did you mean by it though?

Starting to think we may end up with a PNG team based out of Port Morseby without a location name.

I do like that Rugby League is more important to Australia overall than any other sport though.

I've heard that they are developing their own rebel competition to go up against the Pacific based NRL.

Man, people are having a whinge about PNG... if it was AFL getting this club F-ME the knobs on here would be screaming for blood... Just embrace it, besides during the Super League years Fiji was meant to get a team also supported by the Fijian Junta back in 1997. This is great news for rugby league, NRL and PNG.

If you guys don't like it go fumble yourself on the Bigfooty Forum.

It just unintentionally sounded like he was saying RL players aren't very bright.

Oh okay, I didn't take it that way.

Super League also said players will be recognised on the streets in China and Russia.

PVL - "When the Dolphins entered the competition we were criticised for not having a larger salary cap for them when they came in, so you can't win"

"The Salary cap remains the same, it's just a tax advantage"

 

[Matt_CBY]

PVL when out to him that the Australian Government could pull the funding at any time.

"Without breaching confidentiality that is not the case"

How does this not matter to you when it's the exact reason why the team is being brought in?

They don't warrant inclusion otherwise.

I think he played for the Hunter Mariners
