Brisbane Broncos Head Coach Wayne Bennett says the team will be willing to make regular trips to Papua New Guinea.
Bennett was talking during the Papua New Guinea Rugby League fundraiser at the Stanley Hotel in Port Moresby on Friday.
He was recalled the last welcome he witnessed in the mid 90s when Allan Langer was still playing and they made the trip to Papua New Guinea with the Broncos team.
He added that he had a soft spot for Papua New Guinea because his younger brother had been here for six years.
“I have always had a soft spot for Papua New Guinea, mainly because my brother Bob Bennett came up here for six years to live and work.
“I was here in the mid 90’s that time Alf (Allan Langer) was a great player of our club he was a super star of his time and in that era the welcome was as great as it has been on this trip,” Bennett said.
He added that the Broncos would be making regular trips in the future with the last trip by the team 20 years ago, but he added the atmosphere and welcome was still the same.
“Nice to be back here privileged to be here you have humbled us with your sincerity and your love for the Broncos and I hope we can come back more on a regular basis.
“It’s been 20 years since we have been here the last time and I hope we can be back here on a regular basis, we will be back on a regular basis and I want to congratulate the team for the last four years and your success in the Intrust Super Cup championship.
“Michael Marum has done a great job with the team and I was just talking with the guests at our table that the Broncos have just built a 27million dollar training and admin area opposite our old training grounds and that’s because of the stability that our club has had for the last 30 odd years,” Bennett said.
