Yeah, definitely a Wahs heavy crowd!

I wonder what impact the likelihood of Jett Cleary making his NRL debut in 27 or 28 had on Ivan’s decision? Drove him back to Penrith in the first place - not wanting to coach against his son. Would be a strong driver this time Peter Wallace a good choice as next head coach







@TheRiffMarn That would require legislation

@TheRiffMarn I doubt it, it will mostly be guys towards the end of their career chasing one last pay day (Luai 31 / Johnston 33) and guys who aren’t getting regular NRL games at their current clubs looking for a start. The living conditions would deter most players, even with the extra money.

@TheRiffMarn If you remain an Australian tax resident under Australian Taxation Office rules: You must declare your PNG income in Australia. Even though the income is tax free in PNG as an Australian tax resident you will You’re effectively taxed at whichever country has the higher rate.

@TheRiffMarn Yes it’s big for top tear players earring 1.2mil, the guys on 300k, is it worth the roughly $100k extra to live in a compound away from friends and family? I’d also imagine they will get less 3rd party deals over there, so it’s not huge. But without it no one will sign there.


@TheRiffMarn If they do that no one signs with PNG, it’s the only incentive they have to sign players. Who is going to live in a compound in PNG away from friends and family for the same money they could get here.
