There is a lot of money going to PNG. I did wonder why. Then I saw this
Australia has negotiated an agreement under which PNG will not sign new security agreements with China. This ensures that Australia won’t be blindsided, as it was by the Solomon Islands-China security agreement in 2022.

Papua New Guinea’s entrance into the National Rugby League (NRL) is officially confirmed. Already, sports writers are excitedly pulling out their whiteboards to draw up potential rosters for the team’s inaugural season in 2028. But ...

Being a young bloke stuck in a gated compound most of your time isn't going to be appealing long term.
It is very tempting to say something about the ability of NRL players to make headlines getting caught doing dodgy things and being stationed up there in that situation would seem to be an ideal opportunity to partake in them - but I won't!!!!!!

Actually 9 weeks is pretty good for the NRL, the most disappointing thing was the outcome from the justice system not the NRL

And the first downer of many to come this year Warriors fans, Tohu Harris forced in to immediate retirement.
Not exactly a surprise given his body is held together by tape and hope.
Terrific player, and sadly there drops another pillar that the 2023 run to the prelim was built on. 217 games each for Melbourne and the Warriors, 1 premiership, 16 tests for NZ including a 4-Nations win, and an NRL 2nd rower of the year

From a playing perspective that's not a bad thing, as you note he's broken ... and has been for a while. I wonder if he'll stay on at the club in some capacity? Will see if my cousins have any inside info.
Bloody good career for a rugby midfield back who switched after missing out on a Hawkes Bay academy spot.
Hmm, I wonder what the Warriors plan is to replace him, I guess in the immediate term he'll be covered in the squad as they must have planned for him to be broken this year. Should free up a decent amount of cap space.

@Nepia yep frees up a top 30 spot and probably significant cap space, although I doubt they chase anyone right now, could be useful in a few months though

Anyone keen for a NRL SuperCoach comp? Could do it for free or maybe $10/$20 entry fee to keep people invested and don’t just give up on their teams after a month
Im in, Im hoping the union has a good look at this model for NRL/AFL, really has brought a younger generation into this
