PETE’S PUNCHLINE

Sports

  • Great to see another Papua New Guinean get a chance in Super Rugby. Zane Nonggorr debuted for the Reds last week off the bench against the Tahs. He emulates Will Genia, Aidan Toua and Pettowa Paraka who all played for the Reds.
  • Goodness me, what is happening at the Broncos? First Pangai gets stood down for breaching Covid-19 directives and then coach Anthony Seibold gets legal advice on a mysterious issue that everyone is keeping hush hush about. And now Ben Ikin is keen on the chief executive’s position. Somebody told me yesterday things are going to get a lot worse over there before they get better. Buckle up, if you’re a Broncos fan.
  • Eleonor can you please send me the guide like you used to. C’mon girl.
  • Warriors paying K6.50 against the Panthers tonight. Worth a plunge, I reckon. Only problem is the blasted tax is K4.50. How are punters supposed to live with these rates?
  • All this supposed red tape and procedural to-ing and fro-ing stopping Raymond Gunemba and Nigel Dabinyaba from playing in the NSL is getting tiresome. Can our brothers in the soccer fraternity sort things out? You know, show everyone soccer is the civilised, mature sport.
  • The Greek Freak acted out of character in the game against the Wizards. He’ll definitely get tested by other sides in the playoffs now.
  • Manchester United and Inter Milan are favourites to win the Europa League. Not so fast, United fans. The Red Devils will face five-time champions Sevilla on Sunday. Sevilla are the most successful team in the league. – PGTP ([email protected])
