PNG U/14s success signals NEAFL future for PNG/Sth Pacific

Moving onto details I would suggest that the PNG follow the NT Thunder example and start off in a Qld competition. Hopefully there could be some involvement with Lae. Possibly their performance could determine thie entry into the NEAFL or possibly the AFL could pay a couple of players as development officers as that really is the numbers required to make a difference. Similarly a NZ/SP team could play out of Auckland but start in the Sydney league until they deserved promotion to the NEAFL.

Discussion of salary setups and caps maybe a little premature IMO, but I will say the original idea of an extra allowance had merit. That was to retain players in Sydney. One other consideration is the ability of low order teams to retain their stars. I believe the GC and GWS experience some retention factor so that is a valid consideration. Obviously a player going to the Swans is thinking possible premiership so he needs no further incentive. That allowance could easily be removed now. The opposite happens when a player is recruited by the Demons. They have the same retention problems as the expansion teams but are not accorded the same luxury. Tthe new enquiry into equalisation might suggest something like this.
