The Queensland Rugby League (QRL) has announced it will host games of its statewide competition in Papua New Guinea in a huge boost to the code and the NRL's expansion plans.
The killing of at least 26 men in civil unrest in the PNG highlands in mid-February led to the QRL holding meetings with key stakeholders over whether the PNG Hunters would host Wynnum-Manly in Port Moresby on March 9 in the opening round of Queensland's Hostplus Cup.
