Memo to Australia.

The Presidents XIII is garbage. PNG would be better off with a proper test match even if it was every two years, provided they got their players from around the world (including the northern hemisphere) and you stopped pinching their best players. Don't give me that garbage about Segayaro's father either...poor bloke has been seriously manipulated.

Jean or Barry which one are you?

Both I'd expect

He is right though. Outside the big 3, rl playing nations are treated atrociously.

Probably because there not worth playing

And never will be if the big 3 keep nicking their players

And Hull KR are?

Of course I am right. Some of you guys don't get the new poster concept too well do you?

But if it helps you avoid the issue, good on you. Thanks for the input.

Rugby league can either harness the interest in PNG (that has seen lock outs of well over 15,000 for second level QCup games in 2015) or ignore it. No surprise that those under the Nahavo blanket choose the latter.

Properly organised, PNG has the potential for crowds between 30-50K (as alluded to by their PM recently) during the RLWC 2017 - the size of those crowds solely subject to stadium capacity in Moresby.

For those who won't read the article, PNG now has joint hosting rights with Australia/NZ for the RLWC 2017. 3 games to be played in Moresby.

He is not me.

My poppa was a rolling stone.

There seems to be a bit of this going around. Some loon named loiner thinks I am someone else as well.

Do we know what time of year the 2017 RLWC is being held?

I'd be amazed if it wasn't October/November. Given the structure of both leagues is February/March to early October, hard to see it being anything else.

Of course it will be Oct/Nov.

Memo to England. Aus has a Prime Minister, not a President.

The PMs XIII game has been very good for PNG up till this year.

It has been funded by the Australian government as a foreign aid initative.

The NRL probably couldn't afford to send a fully insured side to play in PNG every year at a massive loss.

Now that PNG is a bit richer as a country, and they have a new 16k stadium, maybe a proper test match could pay for itself.

Its not a question of if, but a question of when before PNG has a NRL team.
