Apparently, Perth are likely to come into the NRL in 2027, followed by a PNG team in 2028.
It'll be interesting to see how the new NRL teams go. Flying long distances to play games is a real handicap. I remember John Monie saying in his biography how difficult it was for the Warriors and their flight time is 3hours 40 from Sydney. Perth is over 4 hours and Port Moresby just under 4 hours. Not ideal preparation or good for recovery.
A few of the better players in SL are likely to become targets for NRL clubs as they seek to make up the numbers but can't imagine the PNG team being a draw for anyone other than PNG players really.
