Sir Bob nominated for top post
INCUMBENT chairman of the PNG Rugby League Board Sir Bob Sinclair is the only nominee for the post as affiliates prepare for the annual general meeting schedule for Nov 26 in Lae.
PNGRFL chief executive officer Jeff Wade confirmed Sir Bob as the only nominee for the league top post and maybe elected unopposed.
Wade said election of new office bearers would top the agenda.
Other agenda items were presentation of the chairmans report, SP Cup report, treasurers report and all affiliated leagues reports.
The AGM is also likely to deliberate on an international tour.
PNGRFL have accepted an invitation for PNG Kumuls to tour France next year and also prepare for the World Cup in Australia in 2008.
The first part of the World Cup preparation had been done by PNGRFL by appointing former Kumul captain Adrian Lam as national coach.
Lam takes over from Bob Bennett, who is still member of the coaching panel and special advisor to PNGRFL.
Lam got his first baptism of fire as national coach when his Prime Minister Xlll side lost to Australia Prime Ministers Xlll at Lloyd Robson Oval in Port Moresby.
In other rugby league related story, Wade said PNGRFL had maintained the same number of teams for next years SP Cup competition.
He made this comment after confirming Coca-Cola will still back Goroka Lahanis next year.
The Lahanis finished second after losing to Mabey and Johnson Muruks in the SP Cup grand final.
Coca-Cola Amatil marketing service manager Louise Maher also confirmed that the company remain the major sponsors of the Eastern Highlands representative team. The other teams are Toyota Mioks, Chemica Cowboys, Pagini Warriors, LBC Bombers, Agmark Guria, Wari Vele Raiders and Brian Bell Bulldogs.
