Spot on, this is great stuff.

Dubaris Vs Kimbe, kit clash?!.. Was going to say the ref did a great job being able to distinguish each team.. till he gave a try to Dubaris when one of their players clearly pushed over one of the cutters defenders creating a gap for the try to be scored. He probably didn't know who pushed who!

Don`t know precisely what the "Loop" logo in the top left corner of all the Digicel Cup highlights refers to, but there`s a related YouTube channel. Noticeably they get far higher views for their RL content than anything else.

I learned something from watching one of their general news items. There`s not a single female member of the PNG parliament. This brings into sharper relief the importance of the PNG Orchids, and all the matters covered in the "Power Meri" film.

Any idea, where I can watch Power Meri?

Best option in UK at the moment is the DVD.

I`d love to see it broadcast on terrestrial TV here.

Ok, thanks U.P.

No reference to the above quote, just wanted to say that you do come across some pretty funny one liners around these pages sometimes. Puts a smile on my face.

Loop is a PNG digital tv channel.

Some great play in today`s two televised games. Think I saw a female Touch Judge in the Cutters/ Isou game. If so, more progress for PNG RL.

[unapologetic pedant]

Watching the highlights of the latest three televised Digicel Cup games, I`m struck by the refreshingly liberal policy of the officials in relation to a number of things, but especially obstruction. Both today and in previous rounds there`ve been tries that would probably have been ruled out in the NRL, after the bunker put the magnifying-glass on various inside shoulders and possible shepherds.

The fact that PNG refs let these things go, don`t go looking for problems, allows more varied patterns of play to emerge. Everything isn`t being over-regulated into rigidity, by media-induced paranoia.

There is a female Touch Judge in the Digicel Cup. She`s called Wendy Tidoli, and there`s a short interview with her on "Loop PNG". Go Wendy!

I see the Agmark Gurias won the Minor Premiership. Their ground in Rabaul/Kokop always looks pretty spectacular with the huge volcano in the background.

Disappointingly, the Digicel Cup highlights packages are no longer appearing on YouTube. However, from what I can glean from social media Hela beat Rabaul 11-10 in golden point.

So, as their lead commentator would say "There it is, Wigmen are in".

Grand Final - Lae Tigers vs Hela Wigmen.

Edit: GF result, Tigers 14 Wigmen 16. Still don`t understand what`s happened to the media coverage.

Seems to be quite a lot happening around Sepik Pride's bid for a Digicel Cup team, based at Wewak on the North Coast.

Twenty teams from around PNG taking part in a nines tournament at Wewak's refurbished ground today.

The interestingly named Funeral Home Laumas have won several previous 9's tournaments in Moresby.

Someone needs to pick this up for 2021 so we can watch live. Who has the rights? Could Our League acquire them?
