I'll go out on a limb here and state that PNG will be a power house within 3-5 years if not sooner.

Tax free wins every day over living in two desperately failing financial system countries like Aus & NZ that just keep digging deeper and deeper in our pockets by the day. I know where I would go play/work if I had that option.

These players have a very short window to set themselves up for life. The difference between $500K in full vs $500K before tax is massive over a 3-5 year stint. Great work if you can get it.

They'll have nothing to do there but focus on league. No women to distract them. You might be onto something mate.

Look I know JR is still a rookie coach and therefore may find it very uncomfortable pressing hard on the HOF for better results, but that is exactly what he needs to be doing to the point of demanding quality signings success or the HOF's head. End of!

If he doesn't do this and do it very quickly, like right now, then JR is also the problem and will be a failure too. No quality coach would tolerate a head of football that can't sign the best on the open market over and over again. He has a poor track record that goes back years. So Ryles has a huge sample size to work with.

Excuses mean nothing in a results driven industry. If we DON'T hear of rumblings and conflicts brewing between coach and HOF very soon I for one will feel we have a coach that will at best get us to the semis if we are lucky over the next 2-3 years and that is about it.

Heads must roll now, as in the next month or two, for the lack of quality depth both in the forwards and backs when there have been so many quality players that we could and should of signed to fill those positions, not to mention the roster being short AGAIN in reaching the 30 players requirement.

I for one would have cut at least 3 to 5 more of the lesser players in our squad starting 3 years ago and paid what was necessary to sign the elite players we are still lacking now.

For example, it is very damning on behalf of our HOF once again that we didn't at least match the dogs for S. Crichton's signature, since we had a very good roster and the highest calibre in props, halves and fullback at the time. Troll idiots like Pou will say you can't just cut current players and sign stars while our current players are under contract. That is a losers mindset and opinion. Very few star players just decide on the spot that they are looking for greener pastures or paper fold. They usually make noise months if not a year or more that they will be looking to see what other options will be available when their time is up.

This is when Marcus the Mouse negotiator should make his moves and serenade the player and his managements posse. But instead the Mouse hides in his hole while all the big cats eat his cheese right under his twitchy nose.

If Ryles doesn't lay down the law and demand better from the Mouse or else, then he’s just risking his own neck for some mouldy dry tasteless cheese on a trap that's going to snap his coaching career away from him before it ever really gets going.

Moses has got maybe 2 or 3 years max. Once he is gone, under current recruitment personnel, we and Ryles will be cactus and it will be all down hill from there. Don't believe me? Look no further than Manly, oh and the decades we have endured before Moses. Star halves like him don't grow on trees out Parra way anymore. Well not as long as we give endless jobs to characters like Marcus the Mouse that is.

Yes. For the players it will be 7 months a year in PNG but during that 7 months it will be 1 week here and 1 week there.
The problem will be attracting young players who want to be around single crumpet.

Maybe you should become a pimp and open a whore house there. Give them a taste of tax free crumpet.

says who ?

AI Overview

No, Papua New Guinean (PNG) people are
not migrating to Australia en masse.
Reddit +1

While there are strong ties between the two countries and new migration pathways are opening, the current migration trends do not indicate a mass exodus or large-scale migration.

I didn’t say people from PNG are coming to Australia. Hardly any of them would qualify. I said people from the entire world (but especially the most populous ones) are coming to Australia. Very few of them are moving to PNG.

I’m sure PNG would love the idea of resembling a part of Indonesia . Can we send Albo and Vlandys to propose it together as part of their plans ?

PNG might have ‘superior employment conditions’ but there’s a reason people are migrating to Australia en masse and not to the tax haven that is PNG.

So it's not PNG people, despite you mentioning them in the previous sentence ?

Only you could argue that one Pou.

Bulldogs turn off social media comments after ugly fan backlash, death threats​

The Bulldogs were forced to turn off social media comments this week, after some ugly backlash – including death threats – from a handful of disgruntled fans over the team selected for their Good Friday clash.


Don't miss out on the headlines from NRL. Followed categories will be added to My News.

The Bulldogs were forced to turn off comments on their social media this week after some of their more “passionate” fans vented their fury over the selection of the side to take on South Sydney on Good Friday.
It is understood the comments section of the club’s Instagram account was turned off for the team announcement after some ugly backlash – including death threats – from a handful of disgruntled supporters.
The club opted to shut it down before things got out of hand. The Bulldogs have won two of their opening three games but suffered a surprise loss in their last outing against Newcastle at Accor Stadium.

Coach Cameron Ciraldo tinkered with his backline during that game but retained the same line-up for Friday’s game against the Rabbitohs.

The Bulldogs have one of the more passionate supporter groups in the game and a crowd of around 50,000 is expected for Friday’s match against Souths.
