PNG Chiefs Scouts Visit London for NRL Talent Recruitment

The Papua New Guinea Chiefs are expanding their player recruitment efforts to Europe, with key executives visiting the United Kingdom to identify elite talent. This strategic move comes as the franchise gears up for its inaugural season in the National Rugby League (NRL) in 2028.

Chief Executive Officer Lorna McPherson and General Manager of Football Michael Chammas are currently in England. Their visit includes scouting opportunities and engagement with the significant contingent of Papua New Guinean players who are part of the London Broncos squad. This allows the Chiefs to assess talent within a competitive environment and potentially secure players for their future roster.

The franchise's presence in London underscores its commitment to building a competitive team by tapping into the global pool of Papua New Guinean rugby league players. The NRL 2028 season represents a major milestone for the Chiefs, and their recruitment strategy is a crucial step in establishing a strong foundation.
