The Tip Sheet - 2024 Ep 22: Pathways & Passion; Joey Grima Talks The PNG NRL Bid

In a special episode of The Tip Sheet, long-time friend of the Throw and rugby league guru Joey Grima joins Sixties and Forty20 to share the latest on the growth of rugby league in Papua New Guinea. Joey talks to the boys about his new life in Port Moresby and just how deep-rooted the passion for rugby league is across the country. As PNG begin to seriously ramp up their bid to join the NRL as its 18th franchise, Grima details his own gargantuan undertaking that will be one of the pillars to the process. With a vision built around challenging the nurseries of Penrith, Parramatta and Brisbane Joey is bringing over 700 players across male and female pathways under a unified and centralised coaching structure. Passion for the great game of rugby league has never been something that Joey was ever short of but his journey with the PNG rugby league has kindled his love of the code to new heights. TCT will be with Joey and the PNG bid through every step of the way, supporting and documenting the story!
