Recently, on a podcast that is run by Taylan and Terrell May, Iongi has stated he would like to remain an Eel for his career to repay the faith shown in him by the club.
Question is can MON get a deal done ?

Can confirm that outside the compounds it can get proper dangerous real quick
If the club can tie down the most important players on the team before that all starts they will do well. Probably single out 5-6 key players you really don't want to lose.
There was talks that PNG will have tax exempt money. So for top talent, they could be earning 45% more I.8 on 1mil you'd be saving 450K on tax. That along will have people lining up. For this reason I'm much more worried for png than bears
PnG is a stupid idea from start to finish. Why ? Well what is the sole reason for the game expanding ? To generate further income for the game. Nothing more nothing less. So what's the long term goal here , for the NrL or tax payers to support this franchise forever ? The average income in Australia is what 5 x that of PNG ? And the average family would be stretched these days to take the whole family to a few games per year , then throw in jerseys , etc. do we think the ticket prices in PNG will be the same as what we pay ? And yet the clubs will have you believe that that must charge these prices to make it viable.
So either the game in PNG is going to be propped up by the paying fans here , or they're going to have empty stadiums . It's a fucking token team , and it'll be a drain on NrL fans here. Literally the games version of a welfare recipient club which will eventually be folded .
No, Albo has his fingers all over this. We are courting PNG to keep China out, and Albo has promised big dollars to make this happen. Just look at the recent Defence deal between Australia and PNG. What do we really get out of that deal other than keeping China away from our shores?
Govt is indeed uo to its eyeballs in this Longfin....so I'm sure it will all go just swimmingly
It's a fucking jungle up there. You are safe enough in the compound, but don't go walkabout or shit getrs wild fast
They should be taking now, media even saying that is a priority. His next deal will take him to 2030. Question is money, ideally before he plays Origin. Could be around $800k mark.
Walsh and Ponga will be picked over him
Walsh sure but he is rather injury prone. I think ponga mostly done atp, I'd take Iongi over him over the next few years
Ponga at his best is as good as Walsh.
