150M compound for tax free millionaires in one of the most impoverished countries on the planet.

What could go wrong?

They have to get hundreds of millions of dollars per year in loans to even afford their budget. Spending 150m on rich white people seems like good economic management.

Although given they are also one of the most corrupt countries on the planet, that 150m will be about 10m spent on the compound and the rest in the pocket of the PM and his mates for "consulting services".

Dce is mulling playing for png not Perth which comes in the same time

Funnily every player, including PNG ones that have been asked has hardly fallen over themsleves to say they are keen lol

Lets hope the good folk of PNG are more like Americans than French!
The Americans like to idolise the rich even though they themselves are in poverty, the French would be dragging the guillotine out!

So good seeing a govt and a country welcoming an nrl team

Shame the other bid is the exact opposite where it’s something to be kept quiet for fear of upsetting locals

It’s ok Perth Bears will be a behemoth nrl team in 10 years on and off the field. It will shut up the haters.

even if you typed this in jest, if nrl are controlling them then its hard to see how they won't be well served off the field at the very least

No I do honestly believe it, once it gets up off the ground. 1 team city should attract great WA sponsors, less animosity in the city than Melbourne towards league, easier to build junior pathways than other non-heartland areas. If they can follow the Melbourne storm model they should have more chance of success and faster than the storm.

There are so many unknowns with PNG but with Perth there is a formula and ingredients for a very successful club right there.

Only if they have early success. If not watch the apathy set in en masse.

Linking with the bears should be ok

Crowds will be decent

Juniors will be meh

 

[i0Nic]

the nrl won’t let them not succeed, they need a great coach in place and a solid team.

All aspects of the club must be on point, and having an upgraded hbf that’s similar setup to CommBank will really set it up for success.
