The Papua New Guinea Orchids have a fair way to go in their development and look incredibly vulnerable against a more talented Cook Islands team.

Best Bet
The best Rugby League bet of the weekend is the Cook Islands Women team to do a number on Papua New Guinea. The line has opened 2.5. It should be 18.5. Chips in the Moana.
The majority of the PNG Orchids team played last week in the PM’s XIII match against Australia and showed very little in the 50-0 loss. While there is a smattering of top-end talent led by Elsie Albert and Jess Reeves, the talent falls away dramatically.
Cook Islands have benefited immensely from the Warriors reentering the competition. They have twice as many NRLW players in their team as PNG.
PNG won the only meeting 28-20 in 2023 but the Cook Islands have come on significantly since then. PNG are 4-13 all-time and were well beaten in all matches last year. The minus is an outstanding bet.
Same Game Multi
Kiana Takairangi is an elite veteran who made a surprise comeback to the NRLW this season with the Eels, scoring three tries in two appearances.
Paulina Morris-Ponga has plenty of speed and is one of Cook Islands most decorated athletes having represented the nation in rugby sevens and soccer.
Value Bet
Lavinia Kitai has been a Cook Islands international player since the 2022 World Cup but only made her NRLW debut this season. Se enjoyed a strong season for the Warriors where she played all 11 games in the front row, starting nine of those. She has size and footwork and can get over at big odds in this one.
