Wigmen getting back to basics

Roderick Puname’s men had too much class, beating the newcomers 26-6 at the Oil Search National Football Stadium.

“It was good bouncing back from the loss against the Tigers last week. It was quite embarrassing. We had a long talk after the game and wanted to get back to the basics and getting the small things right.

“That was the idea, working on the small things and making sure we competed for the 80 minutes.”

He said there is still a lot of work to be done.

Critics proven wrong

The Wigmen marched to a 17-10 triumph over the PRK Mendi Muruks in a match that was won in the last twenty minutes.

“We expected a very physical encounter and we put a good fight until the end.

“Many people didn’t think we would make it this far and didn’t think we deserved to be here. We had a point to prove and wanted to prove them all wrong,” said Puname.

He added there was still plenty to improve on this week before they take on the Agmark Rabaul Gurias in the preliminary final this Sunday at the PNG Football Stadium.
