PNG hunters still going strong after a decade. Only reds jerseys existing today are being sold out of the boot of your car.

Hunters Quite literally because they are funded by the aus govt and would close shop tomorrow if that money stopped. Let’s hope we dont have a change of policy and become friends again with China or no more png.

rebell sport does a nice replica for $130 if you’re after one lol

Hunters have been around 4 times as long as the reds. Guess that's the difference between guaranteed funding & just saying you know someone who looks rich & wants to invest. If I was to buy merch from a former team probably be the bears. Might get some use out of it.

The irony of your statement is when the reds were closed down they were owned by one of the richest media companies in the world lol.

Yeh being totally reliant on govt funding is an idea model for a prof sports club, what could possibly go wrong? It’s not like govt or their policy ever changes is it?

They counter offered with full license fee. They had $24mill start up costs in the bank, another $6mill cash in reserve. 6 rich owners with their own assets to call on if needed. Sounds alright to me.

Who were the owners?! We know the Sydney kings were onboard which was weird because money was suppose to be local?!

who were these mysterious 6 rich men? are they like the 3 wise men?
seems like nrl wanted nothing to do with cumins if they rejected his counter offer and was it even a counter offer if they offered nothing to begin with? wouldn't it just have been an offer?

It's the primary reason why NRL asked for fee upfront. NRL called bluff of Perth consortium.
