recruitment

Tigers coach, Noel Zeming, said the current and new players looking for a spot in Tigers colours must convince selectors through their performances in the Pawa 9s tournament.

The Lae Biscuit Pawa 9s, formerly known as Snax 9s, is a three-day tournament that will run from the 14th to the 16th of December at the Lae Rugby League Oval.

Food ration and transportation for teams during the course of the tournament will be provided for by the tournament management, with the continuous support from Lae Biscuit Company and Prima Smallgoods.

Member for South Fly and Deputy Speaker, Aide Ganasi today queried why the recruitment of PNGDF cadets was based in major urban centres and not rolled out to districts and towns across the country.

He likened the process used by the Australians in the colonial and post-colonial days when teams visited districts to conduct recruitment compared to today where recruitment takes place in major centres only.
