PNG National Rugby League Competition (PNG – NRLC) chairman, Adrian Chow, said today the two new franchises had the strongest bids.
“All applications were assessed on five main criteria – governance and management structures, venue, financial backing, linkages to affiliated leagues in their areas and the franchise fitting into the overall plan and strategies of the PNG National Rugby League competition.
“Gulf Isou and Simbu Warriors met these requirements and therefore their bid to be a part of the 2018 Digicel Cup competition was successful,” Chow said.
