Lae Snax Tigers is a Rugby

League Team that participates in

the Digicel cup in Papua New

Guinea. It has made its debut

into the Digicel Cup Competi-

tion early 2011. With its home

grown players from mostly Lae

area, it has looked to produce

potential representative players

to play for the Papua New

Guinea national team, the KU-

MULS and Hunters.

With the inclusion of their own

Tigerines and Mascot, it is the

first team ever in the history of

Papua New Guinea Rugby

League to have it. This has thus

brought a new level of enter-

tainment to the game itself. And

also, attracting more people to

come watch the game and enjoy

the entertainment.

It is promised that 2015 will be

the year of the Snax Tigers. The

coaching Staff have brought in

the team earlier this year to

train in advance before the

Digicel Cup kicks off.

They are very confident that the

breed of young talented players

can take the team all the way to

the finals and even possible,

winning the GRAND FINAL.

So far Tigers have started 2015

fresh with already having

achieved two wins under their

name. They currently lead the

Player Profile

Representative Duties Several Players from the Lae

Snax Tigers have been select-

ed to play for the Kumuls and

the PNG Hunters in Queens-

land Intra City Cup.

Thus our favourite products

who are now Playing for

Kumuls and SP Hunters is

Willie Minoga.

Rated as one of the best

forwards in the Queensland

Cup and is also nominated

for the SP Awards Sportsman

of the year.

A lot of teams including the

Kumuls, PNG Hunters and

even the overseas teams are

now looking at the players

that we produce.

With the growing number of

fans locally and internationally,

Tigers have been said to have

caught attention of various

overseas clubs scouts and

contracts.

We still look at producing

more and more of our young

players for a rep jumper.

He has one of the vital

roles in our team as our

half back and play maker, C

-Roy has surely taken our

game to a whole new level.

We are proud to have him

on board our team.

Congratulations to our young

half back (7) Mr Conroy

Matmillo (C-Roy) graduating

with a Bachelors Degree in

Mining Engineering. Well

done fellow Tiger blood. We

are more than proud of your

achievements, young man. All

the very best to this season

with the Lae Snax Tigers

team.

Our weekend game will be

against the Guria’s and we

hope that David will lead us

with his budging runs and

freakish offloads.

We wish him all the best this

year.

David Loko has been our

major attraction for 2015.

The big former Kumul and

Hunters second rower has

been a major contributing

factor in our two wins.

We are so greatful to have

him on board our team.

2015 is looking more promis-

ing and we are pleased that

David Loko is in our Team.
