Former Guria Frank joins Spacemen’s quest

1/19/2015

 
FORMER Agmark Guria Kevin Frank has signed a two-year contract with the Parkes Spacemen rugby league football club in the New South Wales country competition.
The former Prime Minister’s XIII back had a one-year stint with the Forbes Magpies in the Group 11 competition which is part of the NSW Country League. 
Frank left for Sydney today.
Frank has been engaged by the club to work for Chemstore Ltd, an industrial glass products company — while playing.
He confirmed that his family will later move down to stay with him in Sydney.
Franksaid yesterday that he was happy to further his rugby league career in Australia.
The 32-year-old still harbours a desire to represent PNG and said he would be willing to play in the national colours if called up.
He will be the fourth player from PNG to have joined the Spaceman after former Kumuls Rodney Pora, Larsen Marabe and Nixon Kolo had stints there.
“We had several PNG players playing for Parkes and it’s a privilege to join them for the next two seasons,” Frank, who plays centre or in backrow, said.The Enga local broke into the PNG Prime Minister’s XIII and later Kumuls, when he played for the Port Moresby Vipers in 2009. His dream of further call-ups to the Kumuls saw him join the Gurias in 2010 but he returned from Kokopo in 2011 to play for the Vipers.
He was back playing with the Gurias in the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
It was there that Frank got an opportunity at the Magpies, after playing for the Gurias in a trial match against a the Canterbury Bulldog’s Under-20 last February. The National

Parker re-signs with Whitehaven

8/31/2014

 
Whitehaven centre Jessie Joe Parker, has signed a two-year extension at The
Recre, despite attracting interest from other championship sides.
The popular centre signed for Whitehaven in 2012 and was ever-present for the Kumuls during last year’s rugby league world cup.
His stay at Haven is subject to a  successful visa application.
It is understood Sheffield Eagles made an  enquiry about Parker, but the PNG star was more than happy to commit his future  to Whitehaven.
Parker has been in good form this season and has reaped the
rewards of his partnership with Craig Calvert on the left-hand side as the pair
have scored 31 tries between them this year.
Parker’s 15th try of the season  came against Batley on Saturday, after which the centre said: “I love the people  and the club has been so nice to me over the years.
“The club has done so  much work for me and everyone has made me feel at home.”
Unfortunately for  Haven, Calvert picked up an injury towards the end of the first half against  Batley and will miss the rest of the season.
“Craig has been great for me  this year,” Parker continued. “He’s always there when I need him and he’s great  to play with.
“At half-time,  I asked him how he was and he said it  wasn’t good.
“We’ve lost a good winger, but Jordan Burns is playing well and
scored against Batley, so I’m looking forward to playing with him.”
Haven  chief executive officer Barry Richardson said: “We know several clubs were
interested in him, but he feels at home here.
“We’re delighted. He’s an outstanding player, I don’t think there’s a better centre in the league.

“His performances this year have outshone those last year.
“Him and Craig
have been fantastic this year – the attack down that side has been
tremendous.
“We’ve had great value and success from tries scored down that
side of the field.”
With a crucial game coming up away at Sheffield at the
weekend Parker and his teammates know that they need to come away from Owlerton
Stadium with three points.
“All the players are happy at the moment and they
are all keen to go and get the win. We’re all ready for it.” –

PNG RANKED 8th in RLIF RANKING

8/2/2014

 
Following a summer of Test match rugby league across the continents, the new world rankings have been announced by the International Federation, the first since the 2013 World Cup.

The total number of ranked-nations, based on sanctioned international competition, has risen to 34, the latest included being Spain in 28th place.

Russia are up to 14th, the number of nations that will contest the 2017 World Cup, while the biggest movers are Greece who rise to 26th spot.

“The national team, is a decisive tool for the rise of the sport in Greece,” said Tasos Pantazidis, President of the Hellenic Federation of Rugby League.

“International matches and our world ranking are very important in attracting new people and are a strong motivation for our players and staff.”

“We will continue with small but stable steps forward that will help to spread and grow the sport.”

Samoa move above Papua New Guinea thanks to their win over Fiji and Belgium – who have been among the most active countries – are also on the rise, while Australia remain top.

Recently appointed chairman of the RLIF, Nigel Wood, commented: “An increasing number of matches are being sanctioned in line with new protocols introduced last year.”

“That is an encouraging sign of the importance our members place on international rugby league and is part of the legacy of the most successful World Cup ever staged last autumn.”

Wood added: “As we begin the build up to the next one, I would like to congratulate those nations who have moved up in the rankings and, in particular, Spain and Denmark both of whom registered their first official Test victories this summer.”

Goroka Lahanis beat Simbu Lions in a trial

4/2/2014

 
GOROKA Lahanis defeated Simbu Lions 26-19 in a trial rugby league match leading up to the 2014 Digicel Cup competition played in Goroka over the weekend.
Lions fought strongly to come back in the second half after being down 5-16 at the break, but Lahanis maintained a strong defence to hold on to win at full time.
Rugby league supporters at the National Sport Institute in Goroka who watched the trial game gave applauded the Lions when they displayed fast movements in both defence and attack.
Three Lions tries were disallowed by match referee John Kerema, which could have given the visitors the winning edge.

Notable absences in the Lions line up were Sonny Daing, Andrew Sipil, SupaTakai and Willie Guambo. They were participating in the finals of the Coca Cola Ipatas Cup in Lae over the weekend.
Another Lahanis player now with Lions is Alphonse Kapil. The former Lahanis winger is now the Lions trainer.
Former Kumul centre and Lions player Anton Kui returned to his home team Lahanis and teamed up well with Wesley Mokohule, BenardTatsim, Felix Tatsim Junior, Richard Hoffman, Leo Fred, Micah Siboni, SupaKokote, Robin Soga and a couple of other debutants.
Former Kumul halfback Balfinullai, the acting coach for Lahanis was happy at winning his first game. He will be looking for his second win at the return match with the Lions in Kundiawa town this Sunday.
Lahanis’ captain Nicko Hubile stood in as the trainer for Lahanis in the trial match.
