Week 1

Super 7s off to flyer

Four-hundred and fifty players and 90 officials from 18 provincial teams from the NGI, Momase, Highlands and Southern Regions are currently taking part in the one month long tournament.

The 2022 Super7s series is PNGRU’s most extensive and inclusive program ever on its rugby consolidated calendar which will be followed by a number of major international events to be hosted in Port Moresby at the back end of the year.

With Kumul Petroleum Holdings as naming rights sponsor, the KPH Super 7s Series is the launching pad that will run over 4 consecutive weekends.

Bellamy turns to rookie as Arthur makes stone-cold hooker call

Addo-Carr was left out of the Storm's 21-man squad for their clash with Manly on Friday night after failing to overcome a hamstring injury.

Storm coach Craig Bellamy will turn to Fijian rookie Isaac Lumelume for his third appearance of the season with Ryan Papenhuyzen to start at fullback after scoring a hat-trick against Cronulla last week.

Storm co-captain Dale Finucane said Papenhuyzen's return to form after easing his way back from a nasty concussion in May was timely ahead of their qualifying final.
