Their bid did have government funding guarantees, and all the 'ethical issues' are not your business or the NRL's business.
A 30-40k all seated stadium up to Australian standards would never work in PNG. The vast majority of the population can only afford to sit on a grassed hill, which would be cheap to build. The grandstand would only need to sit 5k tops.

As an Australian whose taxes contribute to the $500million our country gives PNG to improve the life of its citizens I beg to differ.
Link? Re ongoing govt financial support?
Problem is it is very very hard to build a safe hill that holds 30k! Short of turning an open mine into a ground Ala odsal style. Why 30k? Well at 50c entry they are going to need huge crowds to make enough money
