But the other part to it is also then you think, okay, they're going to bring their families over.
Now, my understanding is,
According to the NRL, the players have to spend 185 nights per year in Papua New Guinea, which has got to be harder than it sounds when you consider the fact that they're not going to want to get there too early.
They're going to want to get out of there as soon as the season's over.
And then during the season, there's going to be multiple days where they're travelling
To play away games, they get there a night or two before, depending on what city they're in and the airlines and when they can operate.
They might have two, three, sometimes four nights in a week out of Papua New Guinea.
So that's going to be a problem.
But then you take your kids over.
They can't just go down the oval and have a kick around.
Just can't do it because it's outside the compound.
Huge pressure.
And then beyond that, you've got the situation.
What if you've got your little 8-year-old or 10-year-old kid there who wants to play footy?
He wants to be like Dad, wants to play footy.
They don't have organized sport like we do here in Australia.
So there's got to be all these things that are going to come up later down the track.
And we're all going to sit back and we're going to go, oh, shit, this isn't what we thought we were getting.
This is all about grabbing that $600 million off the federal government.
I dare say in 10 years' time or 12 years' time after their 10th season, there's every chance that they just go kaput.
