Dabaris opponents in the semi are the only team to beat them in regular season.

Both teams have a good number of current Orchids players and before the season started I thought these 2 Teams would finish first and second.
But fair play to Lae and Goroka for coming in 2nd and 3rd.

Final round games results from yesterday.

Tigers 4 Dabaris 8

Tight game between the top two. Possible GF pointer. Although I'd imagine Lae Oval is a very different proposition from a neutral venue in PM.

This is more related to the PNG National Women's Team the Orchids.
Great appointment.

Tahnee Norris appointed as PNG Orchids Coach..

BETTER things ahead for women's rugby league in PNG and for our national women’s team, the Santos PNG Orchids with the Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League (PNGRFL) announcing the appointment of Tahnee Norris, as Head Coach leading our ladies!

Not sure about the wisdom of pitching Orchids against Jillaroos and Kiwi Ferns in Pacific Cup.

Pacific Bowl with Tonga, Samoa, Fiji would be better for PNG player development.

Vipers just fell short, but their try was worth waiting for. Long break, beautiful pass out the tackle, good support line - fantastic Rugby League.

All the Santos Cup teams can feel pleased with this first season. The whole comp seems relatively even and competitive.
