"DARREN LOCKYER GOES FULL HOLLYWOOD — AND TAKES PNG WITH HIM."

#pngnews #redalert_553 #papuanewguinea DARREN LOCKYER GOES FULL HOLLYWOOD — AND TAKES PNG WITH HIM By Red Alert Team Brisbane Broncos legend Darren Lockyer has shocked the rugby league world by purchasing the London Broncos and rebuilding the club around Papua New Guinea talent, creating one of the most ambitious international projects the sport has seen. Lockyer, together with business partner Grant Wechsel, has taken majority ownership of the UK-based club with a bold plan to return it to the Super League using a core group of PNG players — many of them former Hunters standouts from the Queensland Cup system. The first wave of recruitment has already begun, with several Kumuls internationals signing contracts to join London for the new season. More names — including star winger Nene MacDonald — are expected to arrive in the coming weeks as the club moves aggressively on the PNG market. Lockyer says the move is inspired by a belief that PNG represents the strongest and most passionate rugby league talent base outside Australia, and offers a unique identity for a London club looking to rebuild. “PNG lives and breathes rugby league. The passion is unmatched, and we want to create a pathway that takes that energy onto the world stage,” Lockyer said. In a major breakthrough for PNG fans, Lockyer confirmed he is working to secure live streaming access for all London Broncos matches into Papua New Guinea, allowing families, fans and young players back home to follow the progress of their local heroes playing abroad. If successful, the London Broncos would become the only professional rugby league club in Europe broadcasting its full season directly into PNG — a move expected to grow support across the country and strengthen the PNG-UK rugby league connection. The project also aligns with PNG’s rising influence in the sport, with Kumuls players now active across the NRL, Super League, and top international teams. The London rebuild presents a high-stakes opportunity for both the club and the players involved — marking a new era driven by ambition, culture, and the belief that PNG talent belongs on the global stage.
