Jason Demetriou is already working behind the scenes to ensure the Papua New Guinea franchise is an immediate success when the club enters the NRL in 2028. As coach of the national team and a highly respected personality in the game, Demetriou is the early favourite to be the face of the new club. Wide World of Sports has learned that Demetriou is poised to re-sign as coach of the Kumuls in a move that will strengthen his position in the island nation. And Demetriou - a meticulous planner - has already compiled a report on what needs to be done in pathways and junior development to ensure the club makes a flying start in the big league in 2028. "Jason is the perfect candidate for head coach and no one knows more about the game in PNG," Demetriou's manager Chris Orr told Wide World of Sports. "He already has an intimate knowledge of the players in the national team and a good relationship with them. "He has also done a report on what needs to be done in the Cyril Connell and Mal Meninga Cup teams to ensure the young players are properly prepared when the time comes. "He is committed to the game in PNG and prepared to move up there. "He knows there is a lot of work to be done but he is super invested in making the team successful."
