PNG or Fiji? Fiji is a Rugby union stronghold and who the hell is going to move to PNG to play for them???!

I guess there would have to be dispensations but Australian families move there all the time and work in Foreign affairs, Ausaid and other Aid organisations. The enthusiasm for the game there and the good stories of kids that make it make it all worthwhile.

Sport really can bring us together and I think that when we try to get recognition in Asia in so many other ways, maybe the simple act of a good story of a local team of kids making it in league would do that.

If South Sydney's win means so much to Redfern imagine what a win by PNG would mean to them. I think we don't do enough for PNG or protest enough on the treatment of West Papua.
