I'm excited about investing my time into the Kokomo committee because of my love and passion for both my PNG heritage and rugby league.
I joined the Kokomos a few years back, I use to drop Titi off at the meetings and ended up getting involved. Once I joined, after a year, I became the kokomo women's coach for two years. After that I decided to stand down as coach and continue to help the committee with setting up for game days.
