In a world which is trying to move away from mining due to environmental impact, in a region known for its less than ideal sanitary conditions?

Sounds like the reason why they would.

To get good PR for your company looking at improve its image. Sportswashing...

 

[Jatz]

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.

Adelaide are no Chance just can’t see the NRL even bothering.

Agree, it's just a waste of time city full stop.

Perth for me.

Pass on Perth another waste of time. Just can’t see the point

 

[PenrithGWS]

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.

 

[PenrithGWS]

Both.

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.

Also the state with the 3rd biggest juniors.

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

Meaning a PNG team in Port Moresby, or a PNG team in Queensland?

QLD it seems. Which seems utterly stupid.

The Australian government still recommends people do not travel to PNG unless absolutely necessary (due to safety concerns).

The whole idea is moronic.

the fact the feds are trying to push for it demonstrates how even more stupid it is.

 

[PenrithGWS]

Yeah don't think it will happen now.

 

[Jatz]

Good, it absolutely shouldn't.

 

[Philhawk]

Sounds like it’s imminent. $600m injection from Albo over next 10 years.

How exciting.

 

[Jatz]

Absolutely terrible idea that will fail spectacularly.

Vlandys deserves this too, absolute snake oil salesman.
