"I think he is very under rated.
I'd only take him if Lorenzo is not ready otherwise we go all in on Lorenzo.
That being said I think Volkman is doing better than I expected "

"At 31 he won't have many years left so I get why he'd take the cash free money. Luckily we ch ave a few edge forwards coming through that are 1-2 years away from debuting"

Give PNG Ryan Matterson's contact details...
He is not our problem next year. Don't think even a RM would touch him
V'landys basically said the tax free will be for 10 years. He also said he understands the other clubs not happy but hes job is to look after the game. He's an arrogant prick the sooner himself and the springbok gimp go the better. I've never met an honest south african ever.
How does he figure this is looking after the game?? What a moronic statement for him to sprout. This does zilch to help the game, in fact the opposite.
Agreed. He's just an arrogant prick
He and the NRL do not care about PNG. They want that government money over 10 years. If they didn't have it they would never of entertained PNG.
My question is, the money is great to start but is it sustainable once it is up and running with lifestyle. Some will love it, but I wonder if more will dislike it. Even Luai got a PO in the final year to get out if he is over it, he even has that in the back of his mind.
All it takes is one fight in the squad, one family to get unsettled and then the wheels to fall off. Money is great but not all players put in once they get the money either. At the moment they are targeting players in their 30's, ones that want one last pay day and have experience. Liam Martin seems to be next and he would be 31 once getting there.
Thats true. Another thing that will eventually annoy the players is png isn't like sydney. They can't just jump in their cars and go to a restaurant or a beach in peace they will get mobbed everywhere they go. I can't see luai wanting to hang around the compound all day.
My mate works for hobson engineering and he worked for a bit in png. He told me you simply can't go out at night its a very dangerous place. Told me yesterday that they are kidding themselves if they think they will have the best security for the players
Agree it will be 'dad's army' roster, just like when Gold Coast came into the comp. I guess they're hoping by the 10th year, there will be some PNG players ready to step into NRL. Those 8-10 year olds now aspiring to one day play NRL. Its a real possibility given it is their national sport, unlike Melbourne who after all these years and all their successes, have fck all juniors come through. Perth will be the same as Melbourne. I'd rather a second NZ team over Perth.
This is why the recruitment group need to be in front of the game; we need to have some tough type players earmarked (with some nrl exp) and we will need more than Sua; Paulo will be gone i assume by 28 along with i assume Matto / Walker and now possibly Williams; and with Hopgood gaining injuries.....we need some more biff up front and this concerns me as juniors alone will not be enough.
PNG will win a comp before we do ill say in 15 years time they would of equalled our tally they will be able to buy a comp in the first few then reap rewards of local talent and NRL talent and NRL exceptions
