The potential match of the round.

PNG 32 to beat Cook Islands (Killers Of Fish) 22.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

PNG by 18

 

[Hawkins]

I voted PNG - I feel unqualified but not much more than usual

 

[Rhyno]

PNG by 10

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Nene was withdrawn?

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Kumuls Im guessing will win but going for the Cooks

 

[carlosthedwarf]

PNG anthem is great

 

[Perth Red]

Lovely cook isl anthem, can imagine myself on the beach looking at the lagoon. Bless the png player with a tear rolling down his face, love to see such pride in your jersey.

 

[Clifferd]

Go the yellow team

 

[_snafu_]

and that's full time.

 

[MKCS]

Papua New Guinea's entire line up has like 1 NRL game between them but they're playing really well against a team that has considerably more top level experience.

 

[Life's Good]

You think Fox would be a more respectful of the the Cook Islands tag in the on screen score box. I mean COK. What about CKI or something.

 

[GongPanther]

Had to turn the volume down.I think it's Noddy trying again to get back into co-commentating.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

The Cooks doing really well. Go Cooks

 

[Perth Red]

You think Fox would be a more respectful of the the Cook Islands tag in the on screen score box. I mean COK. What about CKI or something.

One can only think it is deliberate so the matty johns shows this week have something inane to make fun of.

 

[Perth Red]

Good game, entertaining and close. Hard to say which way this will go but png look slicker. Cheering on the cookies myself.

 

[user_nat]

This ref is loving the bunker.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Good game Kumuls

 

[MKCS]

I think the PNG fans and team will be happy with that. I think they'll look a a lot stronger with David Mead, Nene MacDonald, Ray Thompson, Paul Aiton and potentially Neville Costigan (If he's still playing) for the World Cup later this year.
