The club did plenty of good things up in PNG. They also visited a Hospital on very short notice. It’s great to see and couldn’t hurt attracting potential sponsors either.

Canterbury ALWAYS does charity well. I love this side of the club. Well done to all involved.

Thanks for the link, I was seriously confused by lack of detail in OP. What was Will's gesture? Forced him to wear oversized clothes? The ball tee in his hands makes sense now. How awesome for the kid.

 

[Scoooby]

Yup it’s lovely too see..!!

The game was the first of a three-year agreement between the Federal Government and the NRL to stage one trial per season in the Pacific to support the PacificAus Sports initiative promote DFAT programs promoting social inclusion, participation, equality and health and wellbeing.

Canterbury and Cronulla are likely to be given the first option of playing in Fiji next year due to their willingness to go to PNG when other clubs were reluctant.

Which makes the Bulldogs, greatest club of them all, the only club willing to send their first grade team.

Do we have a training and recruitment policy for PNG?

Not sure, but I don't think so
