If that is the case, 1 in 3 people play RL in PNG.

Its just not true, someone pointed out on the VT board that every man aged 7-40 would have to play the game, but surely they play other sports as well, although the point does stand that alot of people play RL there and they are crying out for a team either in the NRL or a small league in PNG to start with.






Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know
-
FIOS

We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

i'd say that's quite easily possible, when you consider stanley gene.

Looks like SL expansion has had quite the influence.

I don't think these figures are new. Rugby League has been the national sport of Papua New Guinea for decades.

That may be but it's nice to see them making a bid for the NRL.

That is true, and if they do succeed not only will the country go nuts, but it will raise the standard of the sport.
