Updated
The Lae Snax Tigers have made a triumphant return to Papua New Guinea, after retaining the Melanesian Rugby League Cup for their country with a thumping win over Fiji's Nadi Aviators in Sigatoka by 40 points to 4.
Coach Stanley Tepend says the team enjoyed what he describes as a quiet celebration after the game, and the players will have a week off now with family and friends, before getting straight back into pre-season training.
Coach Tepend says it was an impressive effort by his side in Fiji, considering the limited amount of time they had to prepare.
