League players urged to show their
true colours
By MUSARIKE ANANGAI
With a big representative year ahead for rugby league, players
have been urged to show selectors that they are keen to be a part of it.
Port Moresby Rugby League president Solomon Ravu made this call this
week after noticing clubs fielding most of their senior players during
the opening round of the local competition last weekend.
Ravu said that the tour of France and the World Cup coming up later in
the year should be a big incentive for players to aspire to.
These incentives could see a bigger and very competitive Port Moresby
rugby league season this year, he said.
Only the A grade competition started last weekend with a mixture of
results that ranged from a 50-12 thrashing of Souths by Butterflies to a
narrow 22-20 win by Hawks over Royals.
Meanwhile, Ravu has reminded all clubs to complete registrations for all
their reserve grade players before they begin their season this weekend.
Registration fees for reserve graders are K30 while under 19 players
will pay K20 for their competition which will start next weekend.
Added to the round 2 draw this Sunday is a Brian Bell Bulldogs trial
match at 1.30pm that will be a curtain raiser to the main match between
defending champions Hekari Tarangau and Butterflies.
