What a thumping
The 66-18 thumping of the Cowboys by the Tigers on Saturday caught many NRL followers by surprise. An out-of-the-blue kind of performance. Phew!
Heading south
Our beloved Broncos ruled for a while at the top but are now heading southwards. Hopefully a change in fortune will come this week in the south – at Napier in NZ against the Warriors. Much cooler there.
Rugby fan

Fiji PM Sitiveni Rabuka hands over a Fiji Drua rugby jersey to PM James Marape, who says he loves to watch the Fiji national rugby sevens team play in the IRB series.

Food for thought
You must be big enough to admit your mistakes, smart enough to learn from them, and strong enough to correct them.
Good quote
“As you continue your study to achieve your dreams, please don’t forget to become servants of your people. Those of us on this platform today are serving our people. You will serve your people better because you have not only learned in universities but also from us. Go out there and do better than us. Don’t lose your dreams. Dream your dreams without boundaries.” – Fiji PM Sitiveni Rabuka addressing UPNG students on Friday.
