Papua New Guinea have already shown in this World Cup they are going from strength to strength - and now we need to see them in the NRL.
They were just a very small margin away from toppling Tonga on Tuesday which is outstanding for them. The Kumuls have shown they’ve built on the 2019 win over the Great Britain Lions. They are getting stronger. And it’d be amazing to see Port Moresby eventually get a team in the NRL to continue that development.
Long-term, to keep Papua New Guinea progressing and keep rugby league as their number one sport, I feel they must get a club side in the elite competition. And that’d only further enhance the international standard of their team. You have to tip your hat to Papua’s Rhyse Martin, too. It’s an incredible goal-kicking record he’s on. Unbelievable.
