    Canberra Weekly

    Not wanting to blow my own Viking horn, but I think I've discovered the most remote Raiders fan-base - in a small provincial town in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

    Rugby League is massive in PNG (Port Moresby is set to join the NRL in 2028) but the Raiders are also huge in the tiny coastal town of Alotau, surrounded by some of the most remote island communities in the world.

    Local resident Gori Sioni, who was born in an archipelago of flat coral atolls in eastern PNG, can recite the Raiders song word-for-word and he watches every game and does every Viking clap - despite the...
