Commentators only know Phillip Coates and Gerard Horne’s names lol. Xavier’s younger brother and Liam’s who plays for Castleford. Classic PNG bigman mentality.
HT 6-10 PNG after a miraculous put-down in the right hand corner. Pretty good contest with Oz starved of the ball and guilty of some poor ball security. PNG’s bench rotation has them playing boring one-out 5 and kick but with some venom in defence. Evenly poised.

3/4 time and PNG leading 6-22 after a great chase and offload by Zac Kumbamung, then an awful dropped ball by Sam Stephenson which led to a try and a dubious try which looked to be held-up. Earlier Stephenson bombed a certain try and he looks like he wishes he’d chosen to play for the Kumuls.
Last qtr promising as Stephenson makes amends with a good solo try over Coates
12-22

Fortuitous try after a Kumuls dropped ball scramble and it’s 18-22 with a grandstand finish 7 minutes to go.

Thanks for the commentary T, much appreciated. Cool seeing the PNG side get the W.
Phil plays for Burleigh in MM. Goes ok. Broncos contracted. Stevo been a fair bit better at jr level.
How did Titan Zac Kumbamong go?
I’ll chuck it on soon

Twists and turns said the commentary and after some entertaining play from both sides including Sam Stephenson passing forward for a disallowed try and then being held up Oz managed to cross on full time. Missed the goal and an appropriate 22-22 draw. Congratulations to both teams.
Zac went very well but outshone by the other PNG prop who was great. Sam had a mixed day but a class above Coates who plays like his brother.

The Aussie half’s were terrible in guiding the side around, the Jnr kumuls played with a lot more pride and passion and deserved to walk away with at least a draw if not the win

How Harrison couldn’t make that team is beyond me.

Conversely, if you put Cooper Bai and Sam Stephenson into the PNG team, adding some finesse, the result may have been different.
