Rugby League is Papua New Guinea's national sport and it is every young boys dream of making it big in the local teams such as the Broncos' of Port Moresby and the Goroka Lahinis. But for some of those who have already achieved that, their ambitions go much further. As far as playing in the toughest sporting competition on the globe, the National Rugby League of Australia.

It is very hard for overseas players to make it big 'down under' beacuse their is so much raw talent within Australia, even the best stars of Britain find it hard to cope with the level of competition. But the majority of Papua New Guineans who play their trade in the NRL seem to catch onto the skill level very quickly and it doesn't take much adapting to. One of the most successful Papuans to have played his trade abroad is Adrian Lam. He is one of the best players to have hit the international stage between the early 1990's and into the 21st century. He previously played for Sydney City Roosters in the Australian NRL, and even represented Queensland in the legendary State Of Origin Series, he then moved on to England where he finished a glittering career with world famous Wigan Warriors, one of the biggest clubs in the Northern Hemisphere and the most commercially famous Rugby League club on the globe.
