  Opposition Leader Douglas Tomuriesa said he is disappointed and embarrassed over the way His Holiness Pope Francis was treated by Prime Minister James Marape over the last three-days during the Papal visit, and the lack of courtesy and respect shown by the Prime Minister. He said the Prime Minister continuously declares PNG as a ‘Christian country’ and prides himself on being a religious individual but he was surprised when the Pope was continuously snubbed by the PM over the weekend since the Pope’s arrival on Friday. “The Pope is the head of the Catholic church, the largest Christian church in the world and he is also a head of state. “PNG not only being a Christian country, but a country that prides itself as a ‘friend to all, enemy to none’, the PM should be according the Pope with the highest level of respect,” Tomuriesa said.

Manly Sea Eagles offer PNG Kumuls’ Segeyaro a new deal

FORMER North Queensland Cowboys, Penrith Panthers, Cronulla Sharks, Brisbane Broncos and Leeds Rhinos hooker James Segeyaro has been linked with a move to the Manly Sea Eagles.
The 154-game National Rugby League (NRL) veteran, who had 10 games alongside that in the English Super League during a career which stretched between 2011 and 2019, said on the weekend that he had been offered a deal.
Papua New Guinea international Segeyaro’s last stint in first-grade came to an end with the Broncos in September, 2019, after a drink driving charge saw Brisbane end his contract.
He was then barred from playing rugby league after he was handed a 20-month suspension for being found to have the drug ligandrol in his system.
Given this ban was backdated, clubs have been able to offer the rake a deal since June 2 of last year.
However, none had previously been forthcoming until now.
While Segeyaro didn’t say which club had offered him a contract in his Instagram post, it is now being reported by The Daily Telegraph that the club is the Sea Eagles.
Manly are on the search for more depth at hooker.
With Manase Fainu still not able to play under the NRL’s no-fault stand-down rule, Lachlan Croker has done a superb job stepping up into the hooking position.
Despite that, they are still short on depth, and it has been flagged to Des Hasler that Segeyaro could fill a sizeable hole in the squad, starting with Manly feeder side Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles in the New South Wales Cup.
The resort suggests Segeyaro’s manager Sam Ayoub has held discussions with Hasler.
To go with his 164 top flight games, the 31-year-old has also played five Tests for the PNG Kumuls. – zerotackle
