Well done to Lae and hard luck to the wigmen. There’s always next years lads!!!

Was support spread evenly between Wigmen and Tigers?

The Wigmen had majority of the support. But the Tigers showed their class and didn't let it affect their game.

Yes. It begs the question about the so called FOX League and FOX Sports channels as well. They show minimally supported competitions in sports like union and ignore this ever-growing rugby-league competition in PNG. Go figure! It's wrong.
