Nice game PNG Kumuls... In the year's to come will be a team to be watched. Thanks to Kumuls players for representing us in the international level of NRL League 2024.

[@NelsonRake]

The best game I have ever seen from rhe kumuls.They have defended very well and all the tries came from kicks on the corners.

[@kevinyowait2463]

This PNG Kumul team is the best for this era. The Kumuls are getting better every year. Jason Dimitrio did a good selection. However, I wanted to see Morea Morea play. Above all, regardless of the score, Kumuls played a very high standard game. I'm still proud of the Kumuls. Let's not worry about the score. We will beat these nations one day. 🇵🇬👍😁

[@taumailu4212]

Kiwi first try was a clear forward pass

[@SereneLion-fd1hm]

Kumuls coach should have let morea morea play for number one and nene to wing o center. We needed morea to move fast around the field. Otherwise png kumuls were outstanding it defensively. Well done

[@GarrettJayChristian]

The pace and ferocity in the first 4 minutes is insane. 😂

[@kaosrip8913]

Rest easy Sean Johnson you are a star

[@YouGower-o7z]

Kumuls were not giving away try line except for the PNG Kumuls #5. thank you selectors!

[@jimihendrixx11]

Kumuls passes were not always sticking well. Missed two tries too

[@wilhelmtovaira1030]

Are there any taller players in the PNG competition?? I cant beleive that they're all 5ft in height. 8miilion population and all of them cant all be 5ft in height can they.??!!🙄

[@japh2005]

10 out of the starting 13 players are 6ft or higher. Go and look it up yourself.

[@wilhelmtovaira1030]

@japh2005 thanks bro..I will..I'm just tired of the same old narrative.. always losing to New Zealand and Australia.. yet the government is pumping so much money into the sport that we've been playing for over half a century. It's hard to watch and to see if there has been some improvement anywhere.

[@felixkuriaunage4283]

We do have some giants they are not busy with rugby league

[@andrewandope3533]

Rodrick didn't even attempt to touch the ball

[@jimihendrixx11]

No one made it past him

[@gavmahnkanda5120]

The referee and the linesman scored the first try

[@kevinlarry1239]

First try was fwd pass, second try awarded when player was taken out. Frustrating..

[@jimihendrixx11]

Peta Hiku is really good

[@kevinlarry1239]

Yes, was the best game ever for the Kumul's, number of trys there but couldn't convert, if only Kumuls have full regular players Ipape, AJ, Nickson Put and Justin Olam.

[@jimihendrixx11]

+ Ipape. Jr Rop & Kenzie Yer

[@jimihendrixx11]

The first 3-4 minutes 😅 Good hard rugby😊

[@KempstarKombe]

New Zealand thanks for the win but we will kam more strong enough to bet you (new Zealand n Australia) just some years or soon. ..we still growing

[@RossCleaver-k9e]

If it's a Aussie referee they always back the Aussies.not the kiwis always

[@samsonsupaka8716]

Most people who play league in PNG play for its popularity and not for money. Until we start playing for the money than ee expect some giants in PNG to take part

[@aaronkimana8291]

This try is No Try. Referee must be blind.

[@LishSalo-t6w]

NO:5 should be Solo Wane

[@MichaelTYuwi]

Kumuls flat out exhausted and out of gas . Kiwis gave them hard tackles to keep them loose focus while Kumuls baby sit them with incomplete tackles. No excuse for Kumuls but they had wrong Kumuls lineup to meet that kind of pressure game

[@juic3y275]

Why was this game not the curtain raiser before the actual final? 🙄 Also, why did Aussie referees ref Aussie games usually it’s a ref from a different a country? 🤔 I didn’t think they were bias though, but still. Lastly we need more international games. Bring back the Anzac test 💪🏾

[@Topo-kd8yg]

A dilemma arose with timeslots clashing where the second game would inadvertently eat into the evening news at 6:00 PM. The Australia and Tonga game was preferred so that it would end before 6:00 PM for channel 9. It was preferred so as to maximise on traffic viewership for the Pacific Championship as opposed to the promotion relegation game of NZ vs PNG.

[@juic3y275]

@ initially I was annoyed, but now that you’ve explained why, I feel at peace 😌😂 Thanks

[@Topo-kd8yg]

@@juic3y275 😁 🙏

[@tysondog843]

Lost by 42 points. Relegation is fair.

[@StevKuns-h5z]

One more match with kiwis would be ok

[@charliepamson677]

Bounce back and was classic try by png kumuls but denied by Aussie ref.

[@taumailu4212]

The second try of the kiwis was totally wasn't right cos Johnson dumped the defender down to the ground it was sapos to png penalty.... Very clear

[@JeffreyKaiau]

Move n tackle that's our mistake P.N.G DON'T STAND N WATCH.

[@taumailu4212]

Referee made another mistake by giving penalties to the kiwis the depend as all right to attack when the opponent plays the ball the mark from png 1000% right to tackle... Clearly referee errors

[@jameskromeso9862]

forward pass try.....shame shame shame..... ref...

[@arw8337]

NRL afraid to have the kiwis beat Aus in the final again, robbed last week with Eli Katoa offside on SJ field goal attempt not called. Pumped Kumuls with a C team, see what happens when games are reffed fairly

[@mapiaolewale3307]

NRL were afraid of the Kiwis relegation to the bowl, thats why the ref was one sided and the bunker had wool in their eyes even the touch judges.

[@Bob-s5t7q]

ROBERT DERBY match fixing??

[@felixkuriaunage4283]

Png kumuls 2023,,were outstanding unlike this team. But great work brining kumul to 4th place in rugby league

[@indchem4628]

100% correct.

[@robinpilpal8909]

First try was a Clare forward pass. The Australian refrees are always baise.

[@mapiaolewale3307]

We will not be looked down upon, we are fighters, we have come along way, no words will hurt us, we will still win, you have left a wounded tiger, we will be back bigger, faster and better.

[@davidtaliai996]

You're not 4th in the world 😂 Aus, NZ, Eng, Tonga & Samoa are miles ahead of your team.

[@mapiaolewale3307]

​@@davidtaliai996, yes of course we are not, we are thw potential threat to the whole competition, just watch us grow, we are the nobodys of RL, but watch this space in a few years time, we will be a force tobe reckoned with. All teams who come to play wirh us, prepare well because we are the unknown. Juat like thw Kiwi's. We will be the giant killers.

[@jimihendrixx11]

Kiny lost the ball. BS call

[@taumailu4212]

Kiwi player tackles png player should be pngs ball

[@StevKuns-h5z]

One more match with kiwis would be ok

[@NathanAme-b7l]

This time with olam,ipape, Alex Johnson and Xavier
