No doubt you've researched this but perhaps for the benefit of the readers you'd like to supply links to the media articles "lambasting" the Rugby League World Cup and also something other than anecdotal evidence that rugby league is growing rapidly in Oceania would be nice ... I certainly haven't come across any of these. Also some comments could be misinterpreted. I don't think the moves for a PNG side in the NRL are coming from the NRL, but coming from PNG itself. Perhaps it is also worth noting just how likely Australia's FIFA World Cup bid is to be accepted - even many of the die hard soccer fans see it as nothing more than a pipe dream. Obviously I'm not expecting professional journalism, just a link or two. Because otherwise there is a real danger of articles like this one becoming opinion pieces.

I saw various negative comments about the RL World Cup in the Sydney media before & at the beginning of it. Now they are talking up the crowds & TV audiences as having proven that it was a success. But the Sydney crowds were pathetic (as usual in NRL). AFL has nothing to fear, & will gradually be played by more & more youth in Sydney.
