i like how alot of people are saying PNG is 3rd world and poor, that is why they will fail...

there are heaps of countries that are on this list... that play sports internationally or domestically...

PNG CHIEFS will be a powerhouse, simply on the fact the Government wants them too be.

Agree with all that although still sceptical re: tourism - be a boost initially - but once hype wears off would be surprised.

Also not as convinced re: success long term either

Its been bankrolled by two national governments Freddo. Its success ad infinitum is guaranteed.

You seem to be very jealous of the PNG team being funded by governments and players and staff paying precisely zero tax makingdumbnormal. In fact you've stayed up till 2am in the morning to send this post. Thats a new level of envy and resentment pal. I'd advise you to calm down. Go to bed at regular times and drink hot cocoa. The big bad PNG Rugby League team ain't gonna hurt ya. Its gonna be alright pal.

Don’t get me wrong - I hope it succeeds - be good for the local people. Financially, it will survive due to as you said - government support - how long that lasts though - I do wonder re: viability re players - sure there will be initial marquee players going - but wonder if it will end up a retirement fund for aging players to see out their careers. Right now they are doing okay of course. Time will tell I guess.

Yep. It seems the fumblers here are just plain jealous of the NRL juggernaught. Teams in 3 nations and dominating the Pacific will do that.

They can console themselves with the suburbs of Melbon and the shitty desert state capitals. Oh......and tiny Tassie. Lololololol!!! Dills.

Only a completely moronic organisation would fund a team in one of the top five crime capitals of the world.
The American NFL would never fund such an idiotic scheme as to build an expansion club in crime ridden Haiti .
