Sydney to Perth is like a 5 hour flight? I don't trust the NRL to not mess up the draw with them lol

Definitely needs to be Perth Bears, no doubts at all, the TV time slot will better Sunday viewing, Super Saturday on Fox has 3 games making a super Sunday 3 games also, Sunday footy starts to early because of NZ, and finishes by 6pm Sunday, Most people want to get shit done in daylight and watch footy all night. So Perth Bears is perfect no brainer, also WA has Stadium, Supporters and the backing, not taxpayer $$$ like PNG. Its hard enough watching Warriors and Definitely not another Qld team.

The PNG team will get done no matter what. The Australian & American governments are bribing PNG to stay away from China & this is a key part of it. The US are putting in $USD200M themselves. Nobody wants a China military post in Port Moresby. These island nations are now blackmailing us.
