PNG's back.

Yeah it is incredible, NRL the NGO, pull this off and what other strife torn country will they send us into. LOL.
Nah, but been thinking this for a while, we`re getting in on the ground-floor of a fast developing, resource rich country, the opportunities for strategic investment and long-term revenue generation could be game-changing.

PNG is not "fast developing" by any metric.

So a png NRL clilub will be 'minted' yet the country itself isn't and is rife with corruption.

Seems reasonable.

Think these american films you see set in some god forsaken poverty stricken African nation that has the leader in a palace dripping gold and eating caviar.
Thats pretty much NRL in PNG.

I guess it all depends on if the NRL and PNG government can persuade the big mining and oil&gas multinational corporations currently r@ping the country to chip in with some long term funding and sponsorships .

60 million for the oerth bid sure doesn’t compare does it

Do you actually have anything constructive to say about this team

If you don’t then why not just stick to the bears thread

Ah there's them rose tinted glasses again lol
The good thing is hopefully it helps a handful of families get out of poverty in PNG.
Is it a good social ROI on $600mill? Well we all have our opinions on that.

And in this thread we are claiming it's a great thing that there is no oversight on how money is spent in a country that is rife with corruption.

As long as it doesn't go to the sport they secretly support.

Two days ago, maybe yesterday you said: "sign up Perth, Christchurch, make PNG a massive success and sign a massive TV deal " Rose tinted glasses anyone.
Tonight you`re lecturing us on returns on social investment; normal programming has resumed.

Deal is done, might as well hope its a success. Doesn't mean its a good use of your and my money though.
