Two talented Papua New Guinean (PNG) rugby players have been tipped to sign with English super league club, Hull Kingston Rovers.

The duo, Enoch Maki and Francis Paniu, are part of the Kumuls squad and coach Adrian Lam believes the pair would be good enough to play in the NRL. The pair will be featured heavily in upcoming Kumul matches and Hull KR fans will have the opportunity to catch them in action when they take on France at Crave Park on Sunday, October 27.

Maki and Paniu will add on to the PNG players who have broken into English super league. These include John Okul, Stanley Gene, Makali Aizue, Menzie Yere, Jessie Joe Parker and Neville Costigan.
