THE Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League will stage its election Annual General Meeting (AGM) on February 25.
Board chairman Sandis Tsaka said that the current board’s time has lapsed and the AGM will be to elect new board members.
“The current board’s term lapsed in 2016.
“The venue and proper notices and requirements for the AGM will go out by the 27thof January.
Tsaka added that the current board has enjoyed much success with the growth of Women’s rugby league and the introduction of the Hunters program to name a few.
“We have the Hunters program which has opened up a new dimension of professional sport.
“It means we have the opportunity to export more players to the NRL and to overseas…giving us a wider pool of talent that Papua New Guinea never had access to,” Tsaka said.
He further said the Government and Corporate sponsorship given to the hunters is money well spent.
The board had made good use of it through the structuring of programs and pathways from the U-6 right through to the Hunters and the elite team Kumul program.
“All the programs feed into themselves and that’s a commitment made by this board in the last three years.
“Rome wasn’t built in a day but the structures we have put in place goes well with the future of this sport.
“We also have engaged Ernst & Young, an international reputable firm to audit our books,” he said.
