Papua New Guinea has a new National Rugby League champion after the Melbourne Storm withstood a late comeback to defeat the Penrith Panthers 26-20 in Sunday's grand final.
Kumuls star Justin Olam scored the opening try of the match to cap a fairytale season in which the Highlands-born player established himself in the toughest rugby league competition in the world.
RNZ Pacific sports reporter Vinnie Wylie joins Dateline Pacific to talk about his significant achievement.
