Was listening to James Grahams Bye round and they were discussing PNG and the tax free status players will get along with dirt cheap living costs. They could put together a great squad of players looking to stuff their pockets.

Wayne Bennett is all in on being coach as well.

For PNG to be successful they really need to nail the development and junior competitions. One of their very few advantages is the PNG Hunters play in the Queensland Cup so the direct second tier team is already set up in their home region very much like Dolphins with Redcliffe and later on Norths (Capras based away from the region) unlike Perth Bears where their feeder team is in Sydney. I feel this year V'Landys missed a golden chance this year to use the money already given to the NRL by putting teams into the Cyril Connell, Mal Meninga and NRLQ competitions. We know money has already changed hands with the Australian Government as that was made known via the Broncos public records.

PNG is going to be a hard sell for non-PNG natives this means we have to make it work by setting up strong junior rep teams for the many thousands who play the game in PNG and setup the systems below the Hunters.

NRL can learn from the mistakes they made with Dolphins and look at what worked for the Dolphins too.

Dolphins had the systems & teams in place just needed to fill it with players as all the talented kids from Redcliffe/nearby had been signed up as 15 year olds by other clubs notably Toia, Te Kura, Oloapu, etc. The name of the Caboolture product escapes me.

That would be a big coup for PNG. If they don't land Bennett I hope they get Adrian Lam.

Speaking of PNG, good luck to the Chiefs but I have to say, the game yesterday was a real bludger. Kyle Flanagan looked so excited after a try, one would think it was a GF. It's actually funny. He must be thinking to himself, "how did I end up here?"

Even with a full development system it will take the best part of 10 years to bear fruit for as you correctly say all the top players will have been signed by the donkeys. I also suspect that if they donkeys know what they are doing (which i highly suspect they do) they will have hoovered up everything possible the moment the Dolphins were announced as the next team.

the future is bright, its just going to be after 2030

After 2030 for PNG maybe and Donkeys did everything they could to handicap us but I'm very confident, if we can finally keep close to our best team on the field, it will be in vain. We are going to hammer them!
