PNG gets its first saint, and despite what some may think, it's not James Marape or Peter V'landys. All he did was support monogamy in an age of polygamy

Grey chevrons are such a bad idea; you can't see them unless you are up close

I noticed that Samoan five-eighth Blaize Talagi had Talagai-Seuala on the back of his jersey. Does that mean he is Talagai-Seuala going forward?

Timoko or McLean would have been better at the back than Mulitalo, even Isaako has experience at fullback

Kiwis wanted to captain's challenge it; Gough said the bunker would look at it, which it did and changed the call to kncok on

Not a good start for Fox League, Mick Ennis talking about the deflection of Fifita and Taukeiaho to Tonga that kicked off their era (it was Taumalolo). Then Brandy saying the first Pacific Championships was 2023 (it was played in 19, though called the Oceania Cup)

There was nothing in those puff pieces about what if someone wants to get something from the shops, or where kids would go to school. The only other option would be for the player to live in PNG and their partner/family to remain in Australia

Super League expands to 14, though have Sky said they are prepared to broadcast an additional game a week? Last I heard, they were against it
