The Kumul boys are as tough as teak too. Some of the footage I've seen of games in PNG are nuts. Tommy would have loved it, they play the game hard.

PNG also has the world's best fans.

Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe says Gebbie will be available for selection after round 10.

By PARKER TAMBUA

PAPUA New Guinea Kumuls speedster Edene Gebbie will be available for selections after round 10 of The National Rugby League (NRL) season.

Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe told The National yesterday that the 25-year old had undergone knee surgery after he arrived at the club last month.

He said the Koiari native's chances of debuting in the NRL this year would depend on his New South Wales Cup performances.

"Edene has been training with our NRL team," Pascoe said

"On his arrival where it was our first opportunity to do a medical review on Edene, we found a slight issue in his knee

"As a result he had a small operation to clean out his knee.

"He has been recovering from his operation and fitting in well with the team."

Pascoe said the focus of Gebbie's training for the past month had been physical rehab and he was also getting to know everyone around the club.

"He always has a big smile on his face," he said.

"Edene's contract is a train and trial deal which allows him to be selected after round 10, should we require.

"His chances this year would depend on his form in the reserve grade in which he should be back playing within the next two weeks."

Pascoe said their outside backs in previous seasons had lacked speed.
"Edene is a live wire," he said

" Our recruitment team identified speed as a factor missing from our squad and Edene has plenty of that.

"Hopefully, he gives his best in the reserve grade and anything is possible."

He destroyed Q cup when he was there .

His stats at fullback were insane and Q Cup is traditionally harder than NSW cup. Scored a heap of tries and ran 200+ metres a game.

I havent watched him much , other than a few hunters games, outside of highlights , but he seems to have Ben Pomeroyitis , an affliction that affects your passing hand .

If he's on the wing it won't matter.

With all due respect..blind Freddy could have stumbled on our need for some speed. It’s the recruitment of speed and skill in the same package which will give them kudos.

Our previous recruiters seemed to miss the need for speed though

Has a good step! Running style makes it look like he isn't even trying to go fast. Maybe he even has another gear above what you can see in these highlights. Does look quick.

Man he looks fast as! Says in there he can play centre as well as wing and fullback. Can't wait to see him in our colours.


He is very fast and elusive unfortunately his defence is very ordinary.Having said that i hope he can fix that problem

If there's one thing we've shown this year, it's that our outside backs can defend! :expressionless:

Yeh, you’re right third, the previous couple of coaches had failed miserably in the basics of recruitment . It’s not rocket science is it? You identify weaknesses.. establish specs.. zero in based on your profile. Bellamy was asked what he looks for in a player? And I loved his response.. he said apart from the obvious, size and the ability to run hard and fast.. he looks at the basics first.

Att. Madge and Hartigan have given our recruitment/ retention , purpose and direction.

Sheens was the same. Developed fundamentals above everything else.

Why does Blind Freddy always get brought up? I don't recall him ever being any good at coaching or talent recruitment, even before he went blind from the syphilis.

You know you can get a pill for that these days ? You don’t have to suffer in silence

He is a simplistic enigma, there is nothing he can’t do, and we all know the extent of his talent or lack there of.

Bit late for poor old Blind Freddy. Apparently things aren't so obvious to him.
