Highlights packages only show 1 side of the players game which is there potential and ceiling.

You type in Waqa Blake on youtube and you get 3-4 min clips of him in space and scoring tries.

You don't see the 5-10 min video clips of all the dumb errors he made and the weakness in his game.
Spot on but!
He's young, huge, fearless and fast. A great place to start. We definitely lack edge forwards of the Kikau variety.

Well he got a dev contract ahead of Jock Brazel. So there's that.

Definitely agree it will be tough, especially at the beginning.

However PNG has a population of nearly 10 million or so. That's a huge catchment area. The biggest in the NRL.

If the right development systems are put in place (and I think that's where a lot of the money is meant to go), after 8-10 or so years, they should be fairly self sufficient and not need to be recruiting a lot of players. Even having a player surplus for the rest of the NRL.
It will be f**king cool if it works out this way.
