blue? maroon? red?

Rugby League is something that I have just never been in to. Unfortunately, Papua New Guinea differs from me in this respect, to the point where it is completely mad. What's more is that it's mad over the Australian 'State of Origin' matches. I have made many mistakes mixing up the teams, and generally being ignorant to the whole thing.
Last night the maroons played the blues (one is NSW one is QLD but I don't know which). Yesterday evening the streets of Port Moresby were covered in people with their faces painted, wearing their respective team colours. Our local supermarket, Anderson's, had a 'supporter's centre' where you could get streamers and balloons and facepaints and everything. The blues won. A maroons supporter got mad and decided that his bushknife could fix it - and put several people in to hospital.
This morning there were a few balloons flying around, a few streamers stuck in trees, and many hungover people.

Does PNG have any rugby teams themselves? Do they have games on Saturdays and all of that?

think alphabetically ... blue/NSW both come before maroon/QLD in the alphabet, respectively :)
I'm not into Rugby either .... just don't care ...
