All things kumuls

[jolly boys outing]

Not sure if it’s already been posted but junior kumuls player taufa taulani has signed for the dolphins.

wabo’s small stature definitely works against him and will put many championship and super league teams off.

I think Wabo should maybe think of moving from fullback to hooker where his size won't be a big factor as much as it is now.

I think he was Centre of the year.

I think he was Centre of the year.

Is Kevin Yako considered a better prospect than the digicel cup centre of the year?

I count 47 players in that preseason training squad. What’s the final squad number likely to be? 30??

Didn't watch enough of both players to have a good opinion.
But they played against each other in the Grand Final and Kevins Team won.
Don't know if that made a difference.

Hunters fans are going mad on facebook comments about Evi and puk not making the train-on squad.

Seen an article stating that a few digicel cup kumuls have signed for Aussie teams including jade puk who surprisingly will be playing country football next year.

The first one will be this weekend in Cairns vs the Northern Pride.

Cheers mate.

What you think of jade puk basically playing Bush footy?

Can't really blame him, the bottle neck at the Hunters just doesn't allow everyone to progress up so alot of players are now finding other Teams in lower Tier Leagues in NSW and QLD to move to.

It has become increasingly popular to get PNG players into teams in our local Group Three competition here on the mid-north coast, plenty of work at the local abattoir's so they get a pretty well-paying job as part of the deal, win-win all round.
