PNG's back.

Wouldn't be surprised if some mining company becomes the major sponsor of the PNG team. But the reason is to advertise themselves (before people jump in, I know the purpose of sponsoring a team is to advertise your business). Otherwise, if these multinationals were really interested in an NRL team they would have driven it and put up the 600m or a big chunk themselves for a team rather than us Aussie taxpayers.

Im sure theres some sweet deals being hatched between the PNG govt and big PNG mining for sponsorship 'opportunities'

Told you before Id rather the WA money be going to teenage suicide prevention or homelessness solutions, but at least our money is being spent in our state for the benefit of a few of our people.
Overseas charity is commendable for a rich country like Australia, but if your going to be charitable spend it where it makes a difference to people and their priority needs. Not sure building luxury compounds for millionaire sportsmen is high on the general populations priority list in PNG.

If you object so much to govt money going to sporting teams you should boycott the Perth bears

Indeed don’t get seats in the new stands the 300 million will build and give the money you save to charity

Me I wants govts to spend more on league. We are way behind afl and we’re the bigger sport

Wb being the really crap stock picker he is lost 50 percent on lihir gold 20 years ago which has since been taken over by a major

The sponsorships they get from foreign mining companies will probably put them on par with the biggest Aussie clubs

Same with corporate game day revenue it will make up for the plebs paying ten bucks or less for tickets

Why would a team that is so 'minted' with so many sponsors lining up need to put their hand out for Australian government aid?

If I boycotted everything I didnt agree with I'd not do much, buy much or eat much lol. I can dislike a decision but accept a decision is made. Its called being an adult.

I do give to charity, but I also spend some of my hard earned on enjoying myself, so thanks for the pompous advice but I will be buying a membership to the new Perth club and enjoying the facilities some of my tax money has paid for.

Good for you, me I want Govt to prioritise spending our money on things that make life better for people. each to their own.

Yes its like there's a major disconnect in Wb's logic. So unlike him lol

Maybe, but this is what maybe $2M per annum tops, maybe even less when you think about the "small" exposure the PNG market is, compared to Australia.

Ah well I’m happy not being a hypocrite

I’m happy Perth is getting up to 600 million and even more happy png is getting 800 million plus

Seeing Canberra and Brisbane get new rectangular stadia would be brilliant too instead of them wasting money on afl grounds

Ah well I’m happy not being a hypocrite

Ironic given your defection to AFL and your now supposed hatred of that code lol

the hand out is about half, the other half is for rest of pasifika. but to the point ya need cash injections to build foundations and infrastructure to eventually have an appealing product that sponsors will want to invest in. ie spend money to make money. sponsors aint gonna sponsor thin air. do ya even understand what ya saying cob?

alwaysloser, forums resident loser and now with added edition of losing simples logic.

You think they will get 2 million in sponsorship in total ??

[SirPies&Beers]

“The Gross Regional Product (GRP) of Far North Queensland (FNQ) in 2022/23 was $19,809 million. This was 4.26% of Queensland's Gross State Product (GSP). In June 2023, the GRP of FNQ was $24,156 million. “

Cowboys sponsorship ??? Ten million pa

“As of December 2023, Papua New Guinea's (PNG) gross domestic product (GDP) was $30.93 billion”

PNG will be fine for sponsors @Canard

Their economy is larger than the one that supports the cowboys
