Laybutt is such a freakin beast, the way he just so casually slams the big guns like sivo, kikou, tui and the rest of the other Fijians is insane😭. keep it up

NRL commentators clearly want Fiji to win so bias
I am very encouraged by Gus' comments...he seemed most appreciative of the level of game nous, skills and competitiveness of the Kumuls...he should be on the bidding team for our NRL team campaign, in some sort of capacity.
What a performance by PNG! So physical, very few mistakes, an capitalized on their opportunities. After the 1st 25 minutes, Fiji really fell off! Too many errors, no chemistry, and looked leggy. Fiji need to find someone else to do their kicking. Was a key difference between the 2 sides. PNG just wore them down! Solid victory!
I feel so proud being Fijian and Torres strait Islander as well as Aboriginal Australian Jamaican Scottish Welsh Malaysian South sea islander but this game as a Qld Mackay born footy fan just feels so good png and fiji should have a team if they're looking for even more expansion after dolphins 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️✊🏾✊🏾🖤🖤
Fijian Fullback, Turuva was outstanding!
Give PNG a NRL team
Lots and lots of PNG Players have talent to be in either Kumul or Hunters. The ANRL should look at recruiting some of these players to play for their feeder clubs. The NRL club that consists of 25% of PNG players in a team and on the field would definitely produce very competitive result. The PNGNRL Mangement should look at aggressively marketing its players overseas and make it a condition that all PNG internationals must always return to play for Kumul in every representative game. This is the way for PNG to topple the rugby league on international scene.

P.S. why Nixon Putt hasn't got even a single train-and-trial contract with an NRL team, I don't know. He plays at a high intensity, hits hard, tackles hard, and runs hard for the entire 80 minutes.

@@jnrlloyddango6631 that's why I said calm down..we Fijians don't count on a 1 night game result. I'm responding to another person earlier comment, when he said, who's kikau and sivo?? Lambutt just popped up in 1 night and you guys jumping up and down like he's the most feared man that night. The point is, png kumuls played great that night.. whilst Fiji bati not played above expactaions.. if you see closely...most NRL players in Fiji bati doesn't performed 100%... They maybe thinking about their next assignment with their nrl clubs games remaining without committing injuries..we all know when kikaus and sivo and others played above their strength..lambutt and who you boasting will be like piece of paper throwing around in the park easily like that.. but we played with mind games.. it's just a test match..majority of the kumuls players played below 1st Division NRL comp.. that's why they performed great. Olam, Johnston and mead they were there to guide this wonderful kumuls outfit..they are already known players in kumuls team, but the spark was given by non profilic players like lambutt..etc.. Fiji bati was beaten fairly and squire we fully accepted that because Fiji not only play rugby League there are ruby game's which Fiji are focussing to.. so fiji accept defeat from this wonderful unknown kumuls team. But I'm disgusted by 1 PNG comment saying who's kikau and who's sivo? Seemed like his arrogant boasty.. that's y I responded to him ..to calm down..and now you come in and tell me I gave useless idea!??😂🤦😆😆was that respond a useless idea?? Kikaus and sivo are NRL known players.. they've tusseled with the best much much stronger players in NRL games and they've earned their profile reputations just like olam.. and they continue to be playing in week in and weekouts..so strength of a person is not define in 1 night situation only..or 1 game only.. learn to respect to be given respect also👍👋
Hard to pick 1 outstanding player from PNG. Whole team was really good. Fiji never gave an inch either. Would’ve been closer with good halves for Fiji or PNG score a few more if ref calls go their way.

Unsurprising that the PNG halves outplayed their Fijian counterparts, the Bati were sorely missing wakeham here who was on suspension. On a positive note it's good to see Turuva rising through the ranks from the Silktails through to the panthers system paying off with that performance in a losing effort. At least the Fiji boys will get their key players at 6, 7, and 9 in time for the world cup.

Fijians are technically Polynesian by blood. Their customs and chiefly systems are that of Polynesia even though they look Melanesian. Fijians are related to Samoa and Tonga by blood from its chiefs and its people as well including language similarities. These three Polynesian islands don't chew beetle nut where they do all over Melanesia. So technically we just witness Polynesia vs Melanesia. Fiji should sack its coach and hire someone who knows how to pick the right players. In my books, the likes of Naiqama, lovodua etc etc should not be playing games such as these. There don't have the right physics for it. Results speaks loudest where there playing. The likes of Kikau, Siva and Kamikamica etc should be taught how to play with stamina which fiji lacks.
