Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2432839, member: 1764"] Playing talent isn't even the issue. I think if PNG people had a pathway to the NRL we'd see a lot more of them. A country where just about every kid plays the game is bound to produce raw talent, but there's no avenues to refine that talent. An NRL team would provide that, as they work in the grassroots community to improve that development path. BUT, and it's a huge BUT, in the short term you'd need to entice quality Australian/Kiwi players to move to Port Moresby and play there. That is a MASSIVELY hard sell. And while you'd fill the stadium every week, you'd have to keep ticket prices way down because while the population is footy mad, they're poor. So yes, it's a pipe dream, for many many reasons.
