Poor decision
Another questionable decision against the Kumuls, this time a try by the opposition which the referee and the bunker deemed okay. So irritating.
Secured spot
At least one Pacific island team is guaranteed a spot in the semifinals of the Rugby League World Cup: the winner of the Tonga-Samoa quarterfinal match.
Too far
Some rugby pundits are again getting way ahead of themselves, predicting that the Rugby League World Cup semifinal match will be between Australia and New Zealand – dubbed the “Cup final”. England will meet either Tonga or Samoa in the other semifinal. So premature.
Sigh of relief
A collective sigh of relief yesterday morning when the Kumuls eventually doused whatever fire was left in the Kukis. Now the Kumuls have to cruise through Wales to reach England.
New office
The national airline recently opened a sales office at Eight-Mile in Port Moresby which not many know about. Many people still prefer to join the long queue daily outside the airline’s office in Waigani.
Dinau galore
The more debt Treasury accumulates now, the more burden it puts on our children and grandchildren to repay the dinau. We, especially the current leaders, do not care because we won’t be around then to suffer with them.
Food for thought
We are all are going to eventually leave this world one day. Everything will stay behind. So while we are here, let us spread love, let us be kind, let us try our best not to torment others.
