Prime Ministers XIII Hold Off Fast Finishing Kumuls
ARL Media
26/09/2010 7:39:45 PM
The ARL Prime Ministers XIII has today defeated the PNG Kumuls 30-18 holding off a late comeback by the locals which included a second half double to hard-running Kumul’s backrower Nickson Kolo.
Thousands of local fans lined the road into Lloyd Robson Oval for the arrival of both teams before a ten thousand strong crowd saw the Kumul’s welcome the Australians with some brutal defence early in the match.
However a piece of brilliance from Akuila Uate and some hard running from Cronulla Sharks front row partners Kade Snowden and Luke Douglas eventually gave the Prime Ministers side the impetus to pull away early in the second half.
On Saturday, the Prime Ministers XIII side joined the Kumuls to thank local volunteers who give up their time for the fight against the spread of HIV.
Tour captain, Corey Parker, said the Kumuls would be a tough proposition for Four Nations heavyweights Australia, New Zealand and England in the upcoming tournament.
“Their defence in the first half was outstanding, we really struggled to break them,” Parker said.
“Going by how well their young blokes did today and the fact they’ve got players to come back into the side, I think they will compete well in this year’s Four Nations.”
Amongst the most popular players with local fans was South Sydney back-rower, David Taylor.
Taylor sent the Port Moresby crowd into raptures when he broke the line and coolly set up Rabbitohs team mate Chris Sandow for a try in the 65th minute.
“The whole trip was an incredible experience,” Taylor said.
“I can’t believe how fanatical all the people are about rugby league – It’s pretty moving actually.
“Getting out amongst the community and trying to educate the locals about HIV prevention and domestic violence was one of the more satisfying aspects of this trip.
“Hopefully we were able to make a difference.”
Result: ARL Prime Ministers XIII 30 (Ben Smith, Akuila Uate, Chris Sandow, Willie Tonga, Kade Snowden, Luke Douglas tries; Corey Parker 2, James Maloney goals) def. PNG Kumuls 18 (Nickson Kolo 2, Glenn Nami tries; Ryan Tongia 3 goals).

Kade Snowden and Luke Douglas bolstered their selection hopes for next month's Four Nations tournament with strong performances in the Prime Minister's XIII's 30-18 win over Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby on Sunday.
The Sharks front-row pairing had a solid game with each crossing for four-pointers during the match and making a number of tackles and runs.
Australia scored six tries to PNG's three and spent a great deal of the game holding out the spirited Kumuls, who were captained by Cronulla's hooker Paul Aiton.
Parramatta's Ben Smith went over Australia's first and only first-half try while South Sydney halfback Chris Sandow scored a brilliant effort from a PNG kick-off and Tonga scored on the full-time siren, with skipper Corey Parker kicking three goals.
The Kumuls held the Kangaroos to a 4-0 half-time lead, but the tourists' superior fitness and experience told in the second half.
Hot conditions saw the game altered into 20 minute quarters for drinks breaks but the heat was also applied with PNG's aggressive play.
Captain Corey Parker did not want to single out any stand out performers, saying it was a team effort.
"We knew they would be hard, we knew they would be physical," the Brisbane lock said.
"The conditions were bloody hot, to the boys' credit we hung in there and come away with a win.
"Early we didn't get a good run and we didn't help ourselves with the drop balls but you can put that down to a bit of heat and slipperiness.
"They're a great team the Kumuls, this was good preparation for the Four Nations," he said.
Making his coaching debut for PNG, UK-based Stanley Gene said the Kumuls should be proud of their efforts.
"I am really pleased with what I saw," he said.
"Four points down after 40 minutes against the Australians is a good result but when PNG plays against Australia we never keep to 80 mins and sometimes we fall asleep.
"A few second asleep and it changes the game and that's what I hope to work on for the Four Nations.
"Most of these boys are PNG home-grown players and only two players who have played in Australia, so I am very proud of what they achieved today," he said.
"Rodney Griffin, prop Joe Pombo, winger Michael Mark and captain Paul Aiton, played really well," he said.

Rankin was the titans NYC kicker. Was shocking with about a 70% success rate. The year before he was hitting them at 85%. Something went wrong.

Willie Tonga and Akuila Uate bolstered their selection hopes for next month's Four Nations tournament with strong performances in the Prime Minister's XIII's 30-18 win over Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby on Sunday.
Fiji-born Uate, who has only expressed his desire to play for both NSW and Australia this year, scored an impressive try along with North Queensland centre Tonga, who crossed from the final play of the game in a hard-fought clash at a packed Lloyd Robson Oval.
Australia scored six tries to PNG's three and spent a great deal of the game holding out the spirited Kumuls.
Parramatta's Ben Smith went over Australia's first and only first-half try while South Sydney halfback Chris Sandow scored a brilliant effort from a PNG kick-off and Tonga scored on the full-time siren.
Cronulla props Kade Snowden and Luke Douglas also crossed for four-pointers, with skipper Corey Parker kicking three goals.
The Kumuls held the Kangaroos to a 4-0 half-time lead, but the tourists' superior fitness and experience told in the second half.
Hot conditions saw the game altered into 20 minute quarters for drinks breaks but the heat was also applied with PNG's aggressive play.
Australia coach Mal Meninga said Tonga and Newcastle's Uate impressed him and he also praised Parker's role in uniting the team in difficult conditions.
"Lets hope they take that spirit into the Four Nations," Meninga said.
"We did a lot of defence today and the boys should be happy because they really had a good attitude and I am happy with the how they handled the game," he said.
Parker did not want to single out any stand out performers, saying it was a team effort.
"We knew they would be hard, we knew they would be physical," the Brisbane lock said.
