Quote ="roopy"If you go through the player profiles for players in the American comp, big numbers of them are PNG born.
The Americans worked out about 5 years ago that very high quality players from PNG would give them great value for the cost of sponsoring a green card and getting them a job as a dish washer.
It's a great partnership. The PNG boys are lifting the on field standards in America very quickly at practically no cost, and kids from PNG are turning rugby league skills into great life opportunities.'"
It is nice what the PNG players are doing for RL in the USA, but I would hope that the clubs could help them get some sort of education while they are playing so that they can eventually get decent paying work.
