Grand final preparations cost K22,000 and the hiring of the venue, which includes security and other logistics, cost K40,000.
Naipao reminded clubs, players and supporters to enjoy the grand final day in a peaceful and trouble free occasion.
Naipao said clubs and players will be penalised according to the code of ethics document that was sworn and signed by each of the affiliate clubs, including the local referees association.
He added that ticket price is affordable at K10 grand stand and K5 outer stands.
He explained that the lower price is aimed to have as many city residents as possible to witness the new level of rugby league for POMRFL and experience the state-of-the-art facility.
