Sportswashing through PNG would be hilariously ineffective.

Through..............This has nothing to do with Australia.
Sportswashing For PNG. Or should I say, sportswashing the people of PNG/Port Moresby. Or the Pollies at least.

Why?
Try get it national. Ton of poms and kiwis in WA. Lot of RL interest.
Where as Adelaide is just a boring dump with a small population and no one goes or wants to go there under the age of 70.

It’s never going to work what’s changed? Was terrible last time if anything it’s more AFL mad. Would rather have another one in QLD, or I’m happy to punt on a Cairns/PNG bid.

What''s changed? Think the popularity of NRL across the board and the influx of poms, saffas and kiwis to WA
Just think if you want to make it truely national get to the west.
Not worth the risk?

It’s nowhere near what we’d get out right now for another side in QLD. We need more games at Suncorp which is by far and away the best stadium for RL. If you don’t want to go to QLD let’s take the risk on PNG.

That's a bold take.
Prefer both Bankwest and Allianz to Suncorp. Sure they're newer, they're also better.
Also don't think we need more at Suncorp. The Dolphins are playing there often enough anyway.

Having been to all of them taking Suncorp and by a fair distance it’s not even close in my view. Allianz is good would be the second one but the more we play at Suncorp is a positive there should not be a week where a game isn’t played at that stadium

Looks like the PNG option isn't really in favour of the NRL teams well the majority of them. Why? Well let the masses respond to that
Seems like Perth may end up being the front runner after all and so it should.

Perth or 2nd NZ should be the choices.
Actually who ever gets it straight away announce that the other gets the next spot and give a time frame.

The 18th will be Perth because of the Timezone. 2 hours behind will make it easier to schedule Friday and Saturday nights at 7.45 local. Perfect run in for Foxtel.

I thought I'd read in the Tele they were going PNG for '26/27 and then Perth 2030?
