Now that PNG have been awarded a franchise in the nrl for 2028, we could be looking for a new half back, hooker and possibly a new coach in a couple of seasons, if not before.
"There are a number of high-profile PNG players in Super League at present – many of whom represented the country at the recent Pacific Championships.
The headliners include Leigh Leopards duo Edwin Ipape and Lachlan Lam. Both of those players are off-contract at the end of this season but the new PNG franchise could potentially leave the door further ajar for the duo to sign new deals at Leigh, if they then go on to sign for the new club for the 2028 season."
Another two seasons with Edwin and Lockie would be great - there is a downside in that Lammy snr may also be targeted for the role of Head Coach. Lammy will have seen out his 5 year plan and be looking for a new challenge.
