Bai who last represented the Kumuls in 2007, said although he would have wished for Tepend’s appointment to come at least a year earlier, he says Tepend is the right man for the job at the given his unparalleled Digicel Cup premiership winning track record with the Lae Snax Tigers over the past six years.
Bai said with the short turnaround time given the Pacific Test against Fiji is only three weeks away on June 25.
He said it might not be ideal for Tepend putting a team together given the PNG Hunters not doing well currently in the Hostplus Cup.
