The PNG PM13's record in this fixture reads 0—15—1, that solitary draw coming all the way back in 2007, but their battling 18–30 defeat a year ago, which they started and ended strongly, marked an overdue return to the fiercely competitive days of old. Is this the year they finally make the leap?
Demetriou has picked a PNG Hunters-heavy squad, headlined by Judah Rimbu and Morea Morea. Captaining the Australia PM13 for the first time is Dragons-bound Damien Cook, who started the season playing under Demetriou. The hooker leads a talented squad, spearheaded by Titan Alofiana Khan-Pereira, who top-scored in the NRL with 24 tries.
