Tigers excited by Kumuls star's World Cup heroics

Wests Tigers hold high hopes for young Papua New Guinea winger Jimmy Ngutlik, who scored two tries against Wales in the World Cup - including one of the best solo efforts of the tournament.

Coach Tim Sheens started the trend of bringing islander wingers into the game when he signed unknown Fijian Noa Nadruku in the 1990s at Canberra and knows how potent the spectacular speedsters can be.
