Lachlan Lam

Ja- Jacob Kaufusi ran for 200 meters.

Uh, PNG managed this without several key players, Lachlan Lam, Cooper Boyle, Alex Johnston, Xavier Coates.

All missing.

Imagine if they had them playing.

Obviously we've got Liam Horne in there.

No Lachlan Lam, which is a, obviously a massive loss for, for, for PNG.

Um, Lachlan's represented them for the past few seasons, hasn't he, and, and been probably their best player.

So, uh, that, that is a big, big one.

I'm being very, very honest.

No, I've never heard of him, so it'll be interesting to see how he goes, 'cause that's, that's obviously...

When you look at that team, Lachlan Lam's probably the biggest missing player for them in terms of a, a star player.

Um, so it'll be interesting to, to, to see how he goes.

It's a really big blow after three of our players, uh, missed out.

Um, obviously a lot of people have asked why Lachlan Lam, um, Cooper Bye, and as well as our, uh, NRL all-time great scorer Alex Johnston, um, missing out, have missed out on the squad, but it's because of their injury.

Now, Lam, uh, has a wrist injury, so I think he went, underwent a surgery, as well as Cooper Bye, who has, uh, sustained a, uh, hamstring during the NRL season.

While Alex Johnston, um, in his recent social media post, um, confirmed that he just recently, uh, went through a surgery, so he's been ruled out, uh, from the 23-man squad for PNG Kumuls.

Yeah.

No Lachlan Lam this year-

Yeah

... which is a bit of a surprise.

Can I just, can I just make a point, though, on other teams' squads, though?

No, there's no, no Lachlan Lam for Papua New Guinea.

Oh, really?

Hmm.
