I think we'd have to see PNG consistently dominating the AFL Cairns regular season for a few years before they'd be in the Qld state league. That could be at least 10 years away yet.

Anyone know the difference in standard between the Cairns league and the AFLQ? I've heard plenty of people say it's easily the best league in Qld outside Brisbane, some saying similar to middle of the ladder clubs in the Ovens and Murray FL. Don't know how strong the AFLQ is in relative terms though.

As has been mentioned already, if AFL clubs 19 and 20 end up being Tassie and FNQ, an FNQ club doubling as a base for Pacific talent development could benefit greatly from the PNG playing in the AFL Cairns.
