With the fluctuating number of Sin bins, insensitive high tackles and shoulder charge penalties, the National Capital District (NCD) Governor’s cup Waigani games coordinator Mr. John Mauve has urged team management and players proceeding to the finals to fully understand the rugby league rules and policy to better prepare for the Governor’s cup tournament grand finals. “The players should be briefed by the coaching staff or coach about the up-to-date rules as the Governor’s Cup Tournament as it is recognized by the Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League.” “This will help avoid unnecessary penalty and disagreement between the referees and players, this will also develop discipline during the games.” Furthermore Mr. Mauve expressed his gratitude to the Governor’s Cup Sponsor NCD Governor Powes Parkop and for the team sponsors for giving the opportunity for the youth to participate. “Thank you to NCD Governor Powes Parkop for his generous sponsor, we have been able to carry out a pleasant tournament and now looking forward to the major semi-finals and the grand final.” “Thank you to the sponsor of teams and hard work of teams who self-sponsor to participate, it’s been a tight schedule for us all but overall, a pleasure to coordinate the games for the love of the sport.” Mr. Mauve strongly reiterated that teams must acknowledge the rules and policies to minimize penalties from tackles and disrespectful language for their own benefit and for future games. “The NCD governor’s cup tournament is an outstanding sports platform for young rugby talent to obtain exposure, therefore team’s management must abide by the rules and policy to raise standards and discipline for players around NCD.” “I also would urge players to stop the use of foul or offensive language towards our referees and other officials.”
