Sydney-born Samoan international Jarome Luai will be signing for the PNG Chiefs, citing watching a game with PM James Marape as having sealed the deal. It really is more than a game over there.

How watching a game of footy with the PNG PM sealed the deal for Luai

The prime minister of PNG joined the charm offensive to recruit Jarome Luai, and not even a social media sideshow featuring Alex Johnston could detract from the Chiefs’ landmark signing.

Tipping is murder this season with a balanced league. Glad it is this way as previous season blowouts were getting tiresome.

Is this like a bonus round or have clubs sold one of their home matches?

Do the teams not heading to Vegas also receive a match somewhere on neutral territory? I'm not really following it all, but it just seems like some teams must end up hosting more home matches than others?

Good question. I know there are a couple of games out in the country and I think Penrith are playing in different places as their stadium is rebuilt.

Probably since we gave them independence. We needed to build infrastructure there like France does with its territories rather than let it become one of the poorest countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The constant tribal disputes and conflicts don’t help either.
