Coach of the NGCB PNG PM's XIII, Michael Marum has put it simply that his side just didn't play well all throughout the game.
In last night's press conference after PNG's 58-0 loss to the Australian PM's XIII, Marum said PNG started off badly and never recovered from there.
"We allowed them to score in the first 10 minutes and we just couldn't stop them from there.
"We had a lot of chances but we didn't complete our sets and kept dropping balls and giving away penalties.
"That's something we have to learn from and move on forward," said Marum.
Marum added the effort was there on the day but it's now back to the drawing board.
He said attack and defence need a complete makeover before the 2017 World Cup.
"But we had some good players from the game that we are looking to name in the extended squad for the World Cup," said Marum.
