"The PNG national squad always does OK, plus the grassroots are already established. Plus, the entire country loves the game. I'd be more optimistic of PNG fielding a compettiive side over Perth. "

The Eels are third in the membership stakes behind Brisbane (~36k) and Souths (~32k). Beats me where all the Souths members are - they don't seem to go to games. Imagine if we start to get more consistent and play more finals football at our new stadium in a few years. 30,000 won't be enough capacity!
Gee I hope its not the stink of the NRL that wont let us go.
Seriously I have been wondering about the membership figures for ages, last year they were part of the Eels header page & updated fairly often, missed that.
I agree if the government saw those figures then they need to rethink the stadium capacity. if all the eels members turned up & at a big pulling game the gates would be closed very early. A game against the dogs for instance if they are going well along with the eels, they would bring around 10000 supporters on top of ours.
A realistic seating fro general paying fans should be at least 35000, not 27000.
