PNG has over 5,000 AUSTRALIAN companies that remuneration that easily exceeds AUSD1 Billion in any given year. What are you Aussies yapping on about? The biggest winner is Australia economically and security wise. PM ALBO deserves credit for this master stroke. Imagine PNG allowing China to have a military base in Gulf Province, a venture that was mooted a while ago and can be revisited. China would easily exceed the Australian 600 million dollars Aussies tax payers are harping on about. Remember PNG is a sovereign nation and can easily backflip on the NRL deal. We can easily make other sports our own with China's willing help. Off course when this happens you Aussies will be having nightmares and sleepless night with the menacing REDS at your doorsteps.
As a Papua New Guinean and a mad Rugby League fan, I can honestly say, I don't like this deal because it is rushed. When politicians say this endeavor will change peoples lives, I really cant see how. A better option will be to invest AUS$600million to boost our Police Force or teach our local farmers here to be more competitive with producing high standard agricultural products for Asian and European markets. Empowerment of our people is better than building a colosseum when Rome is already burning at the edges.
Nahhh you tripping, we want a PNG team in NRL. Such problems will be solved internally. PNG has a budget of AUD51 Billion for 2025 and you crying bout AUD60 Million a year.😂
Excellent comments. Sport is a luxury and at present both in Australia and PNG, there are greater priorities especially our flagging education system and youth crime.
Somehow I do believe this will work. A brand new project and sports, esp rugby league, and, due to the bigger scale of global security, regional to be precise...can work involving every manner of government institutions, educational institutions, economics and investing into every facet to modernise the game, hence committing communities, social settings, bringing the beloved sport, rugby league to the PNG people. China will still invest in PNG no doubt however the regions security concerns will be manageable.
@@ZantaPlayAUD$ 51 billion Internal budget that has no tangible benefit on majority of population living under the poverty line....to the impoverished with lack of basic opportunities, a AUD$600million rugby team is a luxury we can't afford right now especially with the spending and borrowing trends of the current PNG government.
As a Papua New Guinean, I dont like the motive here, Where's the criteria, such degrades Rugby League itself. Sports should be segregated from Politics
It is in the interest of both nations and people. Australia's security would be at risk had PNG turned to China. Apart from this, rugby league is the main uniting factor for such a diverse naion on earth. Go PNG here we come!!! 🇵🇬
China put $750 million into it. Stop letting the media make you believe that China is this big bad boogeyman. They point the finger at China so we don't point the finger at our own corrupt politicians
While they are diverting our attention with rugby league and whining about their taxpayer money. The Government of the People's Republic of China, through its embassy in Solomon Islands, is now providing fully funded academic education programs for interested and qualified candidates who wish to pursue further studies in China. After being accepted, the chosen applicants will get round-trip airfare, full scholarships, housing, and living costs for the time they are studying in China. While it takes forever to be granted a visa for PNGeans travel to Australia to work as farmers.
Nah, you guys will do fine. People are just annoyed by the 60 million a year not understanding that we give over 600 million in aid a year. If it helps make a positive impact on PNG then its worth it.
Stop being negative here. We must welcome this milestone investment to develop our sporting code of Rugby League. This provides a great opportunity for our youths to engage at the elite NRL level for both men and women. We are very privileged now. It's all about being diplomatic in empowering our youths and strengthening our bilateral relationship with PNG-Australia.
How can we develop sporting code when our country itself is not developed. We are a developing country and not a developed one. All that money given by the Australian government will go to all the corrupt people pockets in the system.
This deal is a plus to Australia-PNG and Pacific regional stability with regards to China's Pacific invasion strategies and Australian PM Albanese has made a huge call for PNG rugby league. If he never did, China would have dived in to PNG rugby league at whatever cost and we will never want that to happen. While PM Albanese has done his part, can the Marape government do theirs by educating the PNG rugby population first up because I would be ashamed about Australian tax payers money going to waste at our side of the deal..
Look at the bigger picture. It’s not just about us in PNG but the entire Pacific region. I’m sure that in a few years, other Pacific Island nations might also want to have the chance to form an NRL team. I agree that it’s not just about the NRL or the sport itself but about changing lives.
PLEASE WE ARE NOT READY FOR THIS😮😮😮, THE DAY PNG JOINS NRL IS THE DAY I STOP WATCHING NRL💔, I DONT WANNA WATCH A TEAM WITH MY COUNTRY NAME ON IT WINNING THE WOODEN SPOONS YEARS AND YEARS IN A ROW💔💔💔, SO PLS STOP THIS B.S N DONT DO THIS
When you have a leader who doesn't consult God for his decision making concerning a nation's affair, he is not representing the people, he is representing himself. I feel sorry for your country. You don't need politician, you need a true leader to redeem your country. You have been manipulated into believing your oppressor. We'll see how well you do in your national development with rugby leading the way. You are too complicated to manage your country. See, the plantation mentality can't escape you. What a tragedy 😂
Im from 🇫🇯 it's awesome to have a Papua 🇵🇬 team in the NRL 2028
Finally we have a Team in the NRL 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬

Australia already provides 500 million AUD in aid each year to PNG.

PNG is a rugby league nation. Geopolitics at play you can say. But, big respect to PNG . CONGRATULATIONS

It is
This is cos we love our png brothers an sisters
back off as time goes by people improve

It appears to me that something corrupt is going on here. Logically the potential benefit and success from this does NOT align with the spend
When a sports manager starts to talk like a politician and not give a direct answer
As a PNGan I support this
Fantastic for the game, I love watching the PNG team, they play with all heart. Can't wait for 2028!!

How good is it to see Australia stay strong with our png brothers and sisters
Now it becomes a joke for every Australian text payer..
Its a Australiam team based in PNG
‘Papa for Papa’ 😂👏😁! Bring it we are excited to rebrand in PNG!🎉. and it’s not just Australia I’m sure PNG will also look for talent from the UK
People just get it, PNG is dominates by China... This is all about maintaining the ties PNG n Aus had in the past
Whoever cut this package clearly doesn’t know rugby league. You used vision of the Waratahs, which is a rugby Union team.
So PNG prime minister is too busy on sports rather than focusing on what crisis the country is facing?🤦 Unbelievable!a what a laughing stock!
$600,000,000.00
So many zeroes
@@sonjakozman1699Still peanuts.
WORST DAY IN THE HISTORY OF PNG. WE GETTING WOODEN SPOON FOR THE NEXT DECADE. TRUST ME. WERE NOT READY.
Nah, you guys will do fine. People are just annoyed by the 60 million a year not understanding that we give over 600 million in aid a year. If it helps make a positive impact on PNG then its worth it.
Nahhh you tripping. Why should we trus you.😂
@@B-tr9kz I know what I said. The $600 million doesn't hurt us because you are paying lol. Save us the the embarrassment. We're not ready
@@ZantaPlay what do you know about this country if your not from here
Nah, PNG can be very competitive. Too early to write them off.😊

PNG think hard..look into it in long term...is it beneficial for all. ..🇵🇬🇵🇬
Build us a 5million capicity stadium we will still fill it up. Every game will be sold out.
Agree
We need a new stadium with a capacity of 65,000.
Honestly I don't like this deal.where is our sports minister?
How many Corrupt hands are under the Table in Kickbacks .
Andrew you're wrong, ot is one man's interest, individual achievement, and not the whole nation😢
Too soon, which is gonna affect the country’s money security to go into bottle-neck.🤕

Than power up all pngs rural populatiion with source of electricity or they will not benefit only in cities & urban areas .
Where is the criteria?
Rugby League is just too stop start for us Kiwis. ... Rugby is the stuff of ABs..much more global..
Yes the enjoyment of watching them pack down 50 beautiful scrums in 80 mins
waste of our tax payers money, individual achievement while returning of the country suffers,
A sport taken over by businessmen, accountants and politicians. What could go possibly wrong 😅
Ukraine is watching 😢
PLEASE WE ARE NOT READY FOR THIS😮😮😮, THE DAY PNG JOINS NRL IS THE DAY I STOP WATCHING NRL💔, I DONT WANNA WATCH A TEAM WITH MY COUNTRY NAME ON IT WINNING THE WOODEN SPOONS YEARS AND YEARS IN A ROW💔💔💔, SO PLS STOP THIS B.S N DONT DO THIS
Waste of Australian tax payers money

Can't even develop our own league here
😂 zelensky isnt gonna be happy about that!
Ukraine is still going to get their "support"
Using rugby union footage in a rugby league story? The Project are totally bloody inept. 😂
🤝✅🏉🌈🥇 The greatest game of all 🪃
I live in Tasmania why should my taxes pay for them we do not follow rugby league
