Quote: Chief Wigan "The way you have described it reminds me alot of Brazil. These factors have prevented them from becoming a strong footballing nation right?
Dont compare PNG to the Pacific island nations, they have a population of over 6.7 million, probably more than all the pacific nations combined.
This can be done, but like I said, they should have had a team or two in the Q Cup years ago....'"
I know what the population is. Despite that, it has a far lower HDI than any of the island nations, or indeed Brazil. PNG is a third world country. No foreign players or coaches in their right mind would ever live there. The idea of an NRL team based there is a complete pipe dream. It's more realistic in the island nations and even then that's a complete fantasy.
