Mikail are most of these young blokes PNG residents, are any tied to NRL clubs and presently what systems are they coming out of.

1. Altop Naiyep is contracted Manly Sea Eagles.
13. Jared Horne is contracted to the Broncos. He is the younger brother of current Kumul Liam Horne.
16. Philip Coates is also contracted to the Broncos. He is Xavier Coates younger brother.
19. Zac Kumbamong is contracted to the Gold Coast Titans.

The rest are from the PNG NRL Bid Academy which was started last year and held its first championship tournament in July this year.

There were other players in other NRL Club systems including Marcus Bai's 2 boys who were not selected as they were both injured recently.

Also Sam Stephenson who played for the Junior Kumuls last year will this time around be playing for the Australian Junior team.

And Finely Glare who was hooker for the Junior Kumuls last year will be playing Five-eight for the senior mens PNG Prime Ministers XIII.

Appreciate that mate, really interesting, I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg for kids coming out of your country. Exciting times.

Slick move by Mal picking Kaeo Weekes for the PMXIII so we can't pick him in the future

You could be right.

Are we expecting a PNG NRL expansion announcement?

Would be nice to finally get confirmation. Feels like we’ve been hearing that an announcement around expansion has been coming for months.

Apparently Nine are broadcasting the Shield games as well. No wonder Gus was absent at the GF. He’s suffering a breakdown with all this International footy..

What a massive result this game is heading towards.
PNG 22-6 with 16 left.

 

[This Year?]

Gutwrenching for PNG. They've been shafted by a missed forward pass in one of Australia's tries.

 

[thommo4pm]

Still a good result for PNG and the game as a whole.

 

[mikail-eagle]

Game ends in a draw.
Junior Kumuls 22 Aust school boys 22

 

[warriors 95]
