While acknowledging challenges in player development pathways, Mead expressed firm commitment to establishing a club based in Port Moresby, citing potential economic benefits and positive changes for the nation.
“I believe that an NRL team is not going to solve everything but there's going to be economic benefits to having a PNG team in the NRL as well one thing I do believe is going to be great for the country,” Mead asserted.
Reflecting on recent challenges faced by PNG, Mead emphasized the need for positive change and the potential of an NRL team to contribute by creating jobs and attracting international investment.
“After January 10 when the businesses were looted and destroyed… I think PNG needs positive change and I believe that this NRL team can bring in a lot of positive change,” Mead stated.
Papua New Guinea's efforts to establish an NRL club receive robust support from both the PNG and Australian governments, underscoring bilateral relationships aimed at fostering development and cooperation between the two countries.
