Boars, Butterflies or Bees? Competition opens to name NRL’s new PNG team

The NRL has opened a competition for fans to name its new team in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The PNG Hunters are an early favorite, but other suggestions include Muruks, Traders, and Hornbills. Fans have two weeks to submit their ideas, and the chosen name will be announced in the coming months. The new franchise will be the first international team to join the National Rugby League competition, following the Perth Bears. The decision to open the naming process to the public reflects the NRL's desire to engage with the local community and build excitement around the new team's identity.
