There has been political unrest in PNG recently. I think more than a few people don't realise how dangerous PNG is. 

I know people that have gone there for work. They get shuttled from their work and back to accommodation and under 24hr security. 

It's nothing like the UK (or Australia or NZ for that matter)

PNG is a nation that has more languages and cultures than most. The love of "war" it has within itself means that whilst coming across as "Passionate" it's actually the contact of Rugby that its fans love and it's fans don't have the money for either a fox subscription or to buy the products fox sells, so it'll be like the other Pacific Nations and remain a breeding ground for the NRL/ROOS/KIWIS to pillage.

Why do you say pillage?

Many of these players are born or have lived in Australia or NZ since they were young kids.

Perhaps the players are happy to sign extremely lucrative contracts with NRL and SL Clubs that in many cases fund their relatives and friends back in their Countries

How many PNGers have played for Australia? or NZ? Justin Olam has made more money in a couple of years in NRL than he would have made in a lifetime in PNG. Would you begrudge him that opportunity?

Of the squad just announced by Samoa, 10 were born in OZ, 12 in NZ and 2 in Samoa. Why shouldn't they play in the NRL? or for OZ or NZ?
