I would prefer Bob Bennett as PNG NRL team coach. Bob was the PNG coach during the 1970s in PNG for 11 years. If Bob agrees, he can stay in PNG for another 11 years. Bob also taught AFL in Popondetta as a sports tutor. My father was one of his students at Popondeta. My father played as Ruck Rover & coached by Bob. 🇵🇬😅👍
I'd love to see png having a team in NRL. It will help png strengthen the team and be competitive in the international level. If png can win the Intrust cup they can do it again at NRL level. The country have many talents and it's a matter if giving them the opportunity.
It'll be another Melbourne and Dolphin situation, where PNG will be taking up and coming talent from clubs such as Panthers, Eels, Newcastle and WT. Those clubs should be heavily compensated for losing great talent.
@@dorkwell I'm referring to the players those clubs develop from a younger age, regardless if they come from another area. The clubs invest time and money to develop the talent, only to have parasite clubs take them away without any compensation or player for player swap.
PNG will get pumped every week, they won’t be able to attract marquee players. Wasteful to have them in the comp, but I understand the geopolitical argument and if national security is assured with a footy team then it is what it is
Nope, the vested interest from the federal government will be that this club HAS and WILL be successful. That is what $600 million, and regional security buys you.
Why is PNG being pushed primarily as a PNG based team? Why aren't the NRL smart enough to really drive a PNG Pasifika side encompassing Samoa Tonga Fiji ect. And why isn't somewhere like Wellington being discussed as a home base with a percentage of games to be played in PNG? Cannot believe Wellington isn't being pushed being that middle of the road in Nz and close to all the pacific islands. But the support they'll get from the islanders culture would be massive. Players and coaches won't want to live or move their whole families to PNG it's a shit hole period. Base them somewhere players will want to go live Wellington is perfect
Thankyou Mal and Sen 1170 🇵🇬🙏🇭🇲✅

🎉Go forward PNG all good 🇵🇬✅🤝🌈
Not ready yet, still got alot of work to do in getting a PNG team in the NRL.

Where do you think those clubs got their first players from?

Terrible decision....PNG has serious security problems
Just like 74/75, Papua's New Guinean independence. Most PNG people didn't want it.
17th Western Bears
18th PNG
19th 2nd NZ Team
20th 2nd VIC Team or SA, NT.
Your math doesn't add up mate
There already 17 teams. Western Bears is 18th and PNG is 19th and 20th is not discided. The 20th needs to be a south island NZ Team.

Security is a real issue in PNG...No Australians would be safe going to PNG to watch any match
Justin Olam has already spoken against saying his country is not ready for it and that a Aus based PNG team is not a PNG team

PNG team is a horrible decision. No thought was put into this decision
Care to elaborate why?
No hate against PNG but man they don’t deserve any team yet.
They won't get players to live in PNG..dangerous place
@1362pc have you lived here?
