Only one PNG native in NRL though PNG has over 15 million plus follow Rugby League as their national sport. Comparing to Fiji and all polynesian nations are majority in NRL. For that reason and others PNG Melanesians deserves their own NRL team
Our Economy, Health, cost of living is deteriorating, crime is on the increasing in PNG. The common Papua New Guinean is feeling the effect and yet we are getting money for the least most important thing RUBGY!! And corruption is sky rocketing!! So how are Papua New Guineans going to benefit from this 600 million!!
They picked PNG over Perth....think about that for a second. It's no wonder why the AFL dominates the NRL in Australia. The NRL should just rename themselves to the ECPRL (East Coast and Pacific Rugby League) because they are NOT a national competition.
@@rhysh2639clearly you aren’t at the latest. The WA consortium was rejected, but the WA govt has come to the party and will be lodging another one. Discussions are ongoing.
@@prazzo1232 I’m a Bears supporter and it was done on purpose because they wanted to fast track a PNG team. This was done by design all their excuses to justify why they backed away from Perth consortium. News forces in Australia were told what to publish, how to publish and manipulate how they wanted it. Govt should be promoting Newtown as the Pacific Jets.
I hope the plane only costs as much as a train to go watch an NRL game there. This sounds really dodgy to me. Whos gonna pay a few hundred to get there, a few hundred to stay anywhere safe there, and we will be watching 17 other teams that will always win there by at least 40 points?? Cant this bloke go and try destroy AFL and leave us alone??
@Alekosdwit’s not that at all no disrespect at all but png has a team in the QRL for ages now they won 1 GF i think AND NO player has player nrl full time from there team, i know they will compete every week IMO they will run around that 14-18th each year you can say what you want but if you take a look over there it’s just not the same Science is now key and having the best staff and Facilities helps but I hope they do well but I just can’t see it happening
There’s gotta be at least 100 Olams over there that haven’t been put through a good system. Once there’s better infrastructure there I think the potential to produce nrl quality is high. Obviously halves will still be hard to produce that’s coming from a tigers supporter
Big mistake They have a market of nearly 12 million people We need them! They share so much with us Including the animals kangaroos , wallabies , koalas , echidnas Can also be found in PNG
Political agenda & the NRL took the bait, aka 💰. 🤢🤮 This game can go jump in the lake, i REFUSE to watch this sport now on principal.. Sport & politics have no place being in bed together.
Boycott your club memberships this year and make a statement that politics has no place in sport. Ive paid mine for a decade this will be the first year im not
I no longer support the NRL now it's a political party ! I'll always be a rugby league fan but NRL no thanks . So wrong so corrupt ! The comp is way to lopsided now with the haves and have nots FFS
@@Mac-jx8uj But the AFL in both AFL & AFL Women's Competitions in Australian Rules Football as in Aussie Rules Footy Competitions and the FFA in both of our A-League & A-League Women's Football as in Soccer Competitions & finally RA in both of our Super Rugby & Super Rugby Competitions in Rugby Union Football Competitions & even our NRL Women's Competition would be better than the NRL Competition itself of course.
Naysayers dont realise how much of a great move this is. I get there are other immediate needs for every day aussies but for Australias interests long term in the pacific this is a no brainer. Firstly Thanks should be given to the military officers that brought a rugby league ball to PNG in WW2 China is on the quest for world domination. And this secures australias borders should anything flare up. Would you rather spend $60 Mill/Yr for the next 10 years (small change) compared to $6 Billion per year once China has spread its tentacles and built military bases. As for players wanting to live there. Dont worry , the amount of PNG heritage players coming through the QLD system alone is amazing - coates younger brother, marcus bais son, etc...The team will be competetive in 4 years time.
After finding out this is costing taxpayers of Australia $300 Mil, i think that money needs to go to Aussies before a PNG rugby league team. It cannot be called the NRL anymore
As he said, he's trying to unite our cultures and form stronger bonds through sport. In reality PNG is an aircraft carrier that won't rust over the next century that also has a bunch of minerals for Aussie companies to exploit over that period of time. PNG will hopefully gain a stronger economy through tourism and mining. They benefit from the extended protection weapons we've invested in and our allies. This isn't just about 300m for some footy team.
The Warriors have been in the comp 30 years, have a far better player pool and a nicer country to live in. If the Wahs find it hard to be competitive on the field and in the player market how is this team going to fare any better? Smh.
PNG team will most definitely be strong team and the NRL competition will grow exponentially throughout the Pacific and the world. Congratulations PNG
Delusional
This is gonna fail
Keep politics out the game !
It’s gonna fail cos people
Like you are narrow minded
Good for the game 💯 percent
People said that when the warriors joined.
Shut up ya muppet
Hope it does

This is money better spent than the 1.3 Billion given to Ukraine.
Still a waste of money

If this isn't a political decision but based on what's best for the game, Why has this guy announce this decision. This is a bad decision for the NRL
We love you Aussie PM for giving us this right of way.
This is gonna end in tears.

Well then you don't understand basic geopolitics
i like how this speech very quickly turned from a sporting achievement to a political statement.*groans*
It's both ya muppet
That money would be better used for health & homeless in Australia
It'll generate income in Australia that will in turn generate tax revenue, and hey presto smartypants.
It does benefit both countries to be fully honest
It’s a pity PNG aren’t big on table tennis hey China !!? 😂

At least the Chinese pay there way for world domination instead colonising indigenous peoples of there wealth n resources
Youre right. Decision took No Brains at all.

That doesnt mean anything
Good one. Papua New Guineans 🇵🇬 we are rugby league mad nation!
I would've been more happier for a team in WA....the game isn't called National Rugby League, NOT Rugby League PNG is NOT part of the ANZ teams
Perth and another nz team will be the next 2 that’ll make a 20 team competition
Its coming. They aren't stopping at 18
I love this
Aww thats awesome expanding & growing The "Greatest Game Of All"
Good to see Australia get behind our brothers in png
We share so many things
Even our animals are the same
Kangaroos , wallabies , echidna, koalas
This will be interesting, expansion ruined rugby union.
Sport bringing us together? Give us a break PM. What a crock. We throw millions at them to keep China at Bay and you’re trying the sport angle
Tiger's gonna finish higher than PNG 😂😂
This is huge
Id he willing to give the money back when it fails
Thanks, Ausi...to support the 2028 PNG NRL TEAM..."Fuzzy Wuzzy Angles" 🎉🎉
