I can understand why Stains don't bother with updating the ground, afterall they couldn't even sell out a semi last year, what was it 18k that could be bothered to turn up at Kogarah? lol.

loak all you want you won't find him, look at Kogorah and Win you are far more likely to find him at these antiquated, undersized grounds. NRL shouldn't allow sub 20k grounds in teh league, it's embarrasing.

NIB Upgrade - STAGE ONE $82mill >>>> Kogorah upgrade $13mill

NIB>WIN>>>>>>>>>>Kogorah

After Brooky and Leichardt, Kogorah is the worse ground in the NRL.

Would love to see PNG in the NRL, however you have to say there would be security concerns.

This article in the Guardian gives a rather frightening picture of Port Moresby

www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/se ... idfickling

However its not as bad as Cape town or New Orleans

malumnalu.blogspot.com/2009/01/i ... world.html

It would merely be a case of ensuring that players and officials could be kept safe, without being robbed or shot at etc.

In some ways having an NRL team could help generate wealth and investment in the city and country.

They are the only expansion team who will not be able to sign current NRL/SL players (who is going to want to live there?) so where exactly will they get a squad from? They need to
A) Sort out who is running the game in PNG
B) Build a stadium
C) Get $10 million a year worth of sponsors
D) Sort out their jnrs (made a big step in this direction this week with the announcement of the countries first national jnr programme)
E) Develop 20+ NRL standard players
F) Build a visiting team secure village
G) Sort out an infrastructure for the club
H) Sort out a TV deal so there is some value add to the NRL
I) Find 20K PNG'ers who can affords the price of an NRL ticket

Then they'll be ready! Say around 2040?

lol if Perth get in theyll have the worst ground in the nrl

and you mock other clubs for bad grounds

this is why your credibility is shot to pieces

its a real shame the WA state government isnt as committed to RL as the NSW one and building a proper RL ground like the one in Gosford rather than making teams play at that dump the NIB

with a ground like the one in gosford the perth bid would only be stengthened

The irony being that Norths were kicked out of the comp as they didn't meet they criteria of not having a stadium. The reason? Rain affected the completion of the stadium you've shown.

Go the Bears.
