But the things i have heard i reckon Tino has most of those traits and is a winner as well.
He's a winner in a good team. With the Titans (78/105 NRL matches) he has a win rate of 32% and he's had some talent around him there. If you ask me he seems to have a good bloke allowance factored into his reputation. Not that I wouldn't love to see him in B and G

It's all about their pathways. If they set that up correctly, they will be a "powerhouse" and have surplus players which will actually help support other NRL sides. They shouldn't have to recruit to much.

League is the no 1 sport in PNG with a population of nearly 12 million or so. NZ has 5 million or so and provide a big percentage NRL players.

Even comparing it to NSW, it has a population of 8 million or so supporting 10 NRL clubs.

Definitely won't be easy, but there is huge potential there. While PNG schools side was quite impressive against the Australian side last year. With the right systems and time they should be able to do it. They really only need to create a pool of 60 or so players (nrl level) then 10 - 20 or so each year to be a success. And that's from a population from 12 million who a league mad.

They have a pathway system, I think the interest will snowball too once they have an NRL yeam.
