Just a bit of a hiding in the first half..
Samoa beat PNG in seven-try RLWC romp

Papua New Guinea's Rugby League World Cup exit was all but confirmed on Monday as they lost what was effectively a qualifying shootout with Samoa 38-4 in Hull.
With defending champions New Zealand to come on Friday and a defeat to France already against their name, Adrian Lam's Kumuls knew this was a must-win if they were to have a realistic chance of taking third spot in Group B.
Improving Samoa never gave them a chance on Monday night (AEDT), with Matt Parish's side showing more of the flashes they produced in losing to New Zealand a week ago.
A defeat of the Kiwis must follow if PNG are to have any hope of progressing.
Samoa face France in their final pool game and will be increasingly confident after a seven-try display which included an Antonio Winterstein hat-trick.
If they can beat the French, second place and an easier quarter-final - likely to be against Fiji - awaits.

Well all I can report is that all the coaches and prep in the world means nothing to a nation who continually refuse to adhere to rugby league basics … the Kumuls have since I first had anything to do with them in 1977 played without any real understanding of how to play as a team. Last night was an exercise in futility on about twenty different fronts … very disappointing.
Four reasons to escape to Queensland: Sun, Surf, Sand & the Titans.
Very disappointing to see one of the purest Rugby League nations being so innept. I thought that this game would be far closer. PNG desperately need some old fashioned lessons. I hope the new QCUP team will offer some new maturity and stability.
