Message: [QUOTE="Ari Gold, post: 2432840, member: 1917"] Totally agree. The political, structural and non football related issues relating to a PNG team are just enormous. And if it fails (not out of the question) then a lot of money invested will have to be written off -- money that I'm sure could be used in other areas. With that said, if they were to go ahead with a sort of Cup style competition during Origin, as a few have suggested, it would be a great way to get a PNG team playing in that cup. In England (Soccer), the lower division teams get to play in the cups, so if the NRL were to do something similar you could maybe field a PNG team, or a Fijian team, or really a team from any area where expansion is being looked at. (Heck, you could even field QLD Cup and NSW Cup teams if you really wanted to) I think it would be a great trial run and if it were just a cup stint I don't think players would mind so much going to PNG to play one or two games.
