Crowds and viewership has been huge..
For me Team will be made up of Locals from there Division 1 league
(soccer around the world is played in Dangerous countries. with not much drama at all.
Parts of PNG are quite safe some are not..
Port Moresby is a changing city.. with lots of work being done..
From Private investors, Parts of PNG are growing.. they are asset rich.
i think the sponsors will be there, There will also be constant Government support from both Sides.azif wrote: Sat May 31, 2025 1:55 pmits year 11 that will be interesting , & we will know how that might lookleeroy*NRL* wrote: Sat May 31, 2025 12:33 pmthere has been plenty of Internationals played with no dramas at allFred wrote: Thu May 29, 2025 12:59 pmStill think the PNG thing has diaster all over it - particuarly as reliant on government funding.

by year 5 or 6
The club grant from the TV deal 2033-37 will be near 40 mill pa per club , clubs will need a minimum 30 mill extra pa to run
its whether they can raise this themselves ,
they'll play to 12 full houses each year ofc , they will be competitive on the field with their players paying no income tax so they'll have quality on the field
But they will get next to nothing from gate receipts or memberships in Aust $...so heavily reliant on sponsors
