It is a friggin hole where 1/3 that's 33% of the worlds languages are spoken........it's as dangerous as a war zone....ASK YOUR LOCAL Thomas Cook agent...

....classy...

Confused why the number of languages spoken there makes it a hole?

This could be describing Hull.

I’ve been to PNG. Didn’t have a problem at all. The locals were more than accommodating

elsewhere on the planet, those people from differing tribes and regions have through the process of social development and basic evolution, merged,mingled and in the vast majority of cases, got on with each other. PNG is as close to pre-historic as you can get and if it weren't for the rich veins of minerals, gas and Oil, it would be un-populated by any civilised beings.
Ireland, Scotland Wales and England all have their own "languages" but also use a common one to communicate....PNG isn't like the British Isles at all.....in fact it's like no other place on earth!
I repeat...claiming PNG as a hotbed of RL is akin to claiming prison is a hotbed for UFC. You don't have to agree with my viewpoint but it's worth asking that of the successful PNG Hunters side from last year, how many are in the starting 17's of NRL/SL sides this year......aggression and violence are part of our sport, but there is so much more to it than that, but it is the aggression and violence that attracts PNGians to the game......not a good look!

Still not on any official lists of top TEN places Never to go ever.........

Foreign Office advises against travel to
Afghanistan, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Palestinian territories, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Yemen

In fact it doesn't even get a mention.

Good for you......jog on to the travel agency and book your flights then

It's a friggin war-zone......and any wealth the country has gets dug up and shipped out to 'stralia in an instant......£2,474.22...that's the average income of a PNG citizen.....less than £50 a week....it's a rich cultural environment HONEST.....[urlhttps://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10817610[/url

Yes we all remember the riots, slaughter in the streets, attacks on the visiting teams during the World Cup. Not forgetting the Intrust Cup teams that always come back robbed and bleeding.

They must have happened because some experts on here have seen it from their bedrooms thousands of miles away.

There has been some spectacularly ill informed garbage on here. For all the law and order problems in PNG visiting RL teams are invariably given the warmest of welcomes and the only problem they face is getting a bit of peace and quiet from the numerous well wishers.

In particular ignore the utter tripe put out by the Australian High Comm which houses a bunch of ill informed self serving cowards who hide in their fortress and big up the dangers to boost their pay.

It's great that an England team are going. It should be a good experience for the players, it will be good for the sport in PNG as well. In any case to those denigrating PNG, it may make you feel superior but as a country is PNG worse than the fascist dictatorships RU has supported through its history or the human rights abusing countries Formula 1 seems to love so much these days?

It's a sh17 hole.....sorry to confirm this, but it really is.......and claiming RL is #1 there isn't a good thing......I promise you!

It's always had its problems. Tear Gas Test of 1990 anyone?

But the England team will get a warm welcome and provided they follow the travel advice they'll be safe. It'll be a great life experience for them too and create some bonds that will last for life. You can't beat a good tour.

So you have been there, know people who live there, actually met and talked with the local population?

Your ignorant drivel suggests you haven't.

Wow.
Cant believe the negativity regarding the Knights "tour" of PNG.
Some reward for PNG's efforts in the world cup and some excellent experience for the players who are lucky enough to get selected.

There may be some issues with certain areas within PNG but, you would think that the organisers, both from PNG and England, may just be aware of this and they are sure to take every precaution to ensure player safety etc.

In our modern world, there are too many people who read something negative and assume that we're all doomed.

As I said, what a great opportunity for the squad.

Ive been there and I actually found New Zealand far more intimidating. I felt far safer in PNG than I did NZ

Whats up fella ? the fact it isn't on any list of top Ten places never to visit EVER doesn't fit in with your agenda .

Well if it stops the likes of you coming to Hull, then its a good thing.

That's because you're known in NZ but not in PNG. They'll soon learn.

Buddy, I don't have to stick my fingers into a meat grinder to know that it's going to hurt......same goes for PNG not being a particularly safe place to visit. As for "ignorant drivel", why is it that facts so upset so many people when it comes to RL?

Firstly, I have no "agenda" but nothing like a good old conspiracy theory eh....and secondly, anywhere that requires the following advice to be given is most assuredly on a list of places not to visit.... [urlhttps://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/papua-new-guinea/safety-and-security[/url


Top 10 you say? OK [urlhttps://www.osac.gov/pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=22022[/url


Damn those pesky facts eh....

The only conspiracist is you, stop back tracking you said it was one of the top ten places not to visit EVER. It isn't .

Dam those pesky facts either put up or shut up.

Now I know it's grim up north, but does being#6 on a list of the 10 least livable cities make you want to run to thomas cook and book your family holiday there?
The Daily Heil list Port Moresby in their ten worst cities [urlhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-2786687/the-10-worst-cities-world-holiday-revealed.html[/url

You keep asking for lists where the total figure is 10 and includes PNG and I'll keep posting them for you.....the claim is that it is one of the top 10 places not to visit ever and I stand by that, with links to various government and media websites agreeing with my opinion....you just express your alternate view but with a surprising lack of data to back it up.

So to summarise, you haven't been there, don't have any contact with anyone who is or has been there but you are an expert on the place.



The only relevant facts are that last year's World Cup teams, every Queensland Cup team and the NRL Presidents XIII annual visit have gone ahead untroubled. Liveability has knack all to do with it - it can be a great place for a team to visit. After all closer to home I quite enjoy visits to London but would hate to live there. Your "facts" however have little or nothing to do with visiting sports teams who are hardly going to be banished to a dodgy squatter settlement or a remote village.

Nope, I've not been but a few of my mates work there as security contractors and earn good money doing do. I've never claimed to be an expert, but there's a good reason my mates earn NZ$45K a month guarding foreign workers and visiting teams. Ex special forces from the UK, NZ and Australia are paid insane amounts of money to ensure the safety of visitors.



This is the reality of what it is like for foreign workers in PNG......

So what's the issue then? They'll be guarded and pretty bloody safe it appears!

I'm not going to pretend PNG is anything but a dangerous place to live though. I agree there. However, there will obviously be safeguards in place so it's not an issue. If anyone actually has the most to travel to watch them, in pretty sure they'll be able to find a safe place to stay also.

Resorting to being a child "Statto" your claims are as ficticious as the man in your Avatar, you stated PNG as a country and now you are switching your argument to a specific City Port Moresby.

Nobody is denying it is or could be a bad place it's just not on a top ten list of Countries not to visit EVER.

however, the vast majority of visitors who exercise common sense and apply appropriate security measures move around the city safely and conduct business without significant issue

Forgive me but I'll take the word of the Foreign Office over yourself regarding COUNTRIES not to visit

About 6 yrs ago we went on a cruise down the Nile in Egypt and when we stopped in the middle to go on a trip across the country we had to have a police escort but that was not on the list of places not to go so we’re is the problem

Can we add King St Wigan on a Friday or Saturday night to the list?
