Very interesting events at Sir Hubert Murray Stadium but the venue is not completed to the expectation currently.
After the construction work is completed I think this stadium would more world class compared with PRL and John Guise.The materials used for the two mentioned stadium are of low quality.Sir Hubert Murray stadium is made of pure steel and concrete.
That place would be more interesting because of its location next to sea.
I really like it.We Papua New Guinea can have world class facilities too.

I think its about time we should invest in building a state of the art stadium that is comparable to those such as the Suncorp stadium so it could be used to play host to international sporting events such as the rugby league state-of-origin games.
