The group of Papua New Guinean journalists and media professionals who are currently in Australia, have met with the National Rugby League (NRL) today as part of the special International Media Visit (IMV).

The meet with the NRL was to just brief the team of the activities for the week that the PNG media team will be engaging in.

The IMV aims to strengthen coverage and understanding of the National Rugby League (NRL) ahead of PNG’s planned entry into the competition in 2028.

Whilst there, the delegation will participate in a program designed to provide firsthand exposure to the Australian rugby league landscape, including the operations of the NRL and the role of media within the sport.

The media visit also forms part of the broader Pacific Rugby League Partnership (PRLP), which seeks not only to support PNG’s participation in the NRL but also to generate wider social and economic benefits for the country.

Meanwhile, after the meet with the NRL, the PNG media team will attend the match this evening between the Penrith Panthers and the New Zealand Warriors at the CommBank Stadium in Sydney.
