Description

Bula, Ma’lelei, Talofa and Welcome to Season 07 Episode 36 of Breakfast Bites, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika people’s sports news, on a bright and sunny Monday morning 06 November 2023.Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Blue Continent. In rugby league: The PNG Kumuls delighted their home crowd and turned their fortunes around, following a poor performance last week to claim the inaugural Pacific Bowl with a 32-12 win against Fiji.Livewire Hooker Edwin Ipape, who was kept quiet last weekend, was a different beast yesterday - scoring a try, made nine runs for 102M with seven tackle breaks and also had a try assist in a Player of the Match performance.In our 2024 NRL preview: Parramatta’s long-suffering fans had hoped their run to the 2022 decider would kick off a period where they would be a NRL Premiership title contender for a number of years.But missing the finals altogether last year was a bit of a reality check.And now they are very much racing against the clock to make it with this current roster, which, as it is, has had almost a 50 percent turnover since that 2022 grand final loss to Penrith.As they enter a 38th year in their wait for the Club’s fifth premiership, Eels fans are growing less patient by the game. In SportsBiz: Saudi Arabia is trying to buy two major tennis tournaments — the Miami and Madrid Opens, according to a report by The Athletic.Currently owned by Endeavor’s IMG agency, both are top-level events on the men’s ATP and women’s WTA tours, falling just behind the four Grand Slams, so the two tournaments could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars each.Saudi Arabia launched the Diriyah Tennis Cup in 2019, and is the new host of the Under-21 Next Gen ATP Finals through 2027.In the NFL: German fans of American football will get their second taste of NFL regular-season action when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Miami Dolphins today in what is undoubtedly the league’s highest-profile international game to date.Both 6-2 teams are tied for the best record in the AFC, and quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Tua Tagovailoa are among the MVP favorites midway through the season.In rugby union: England Captain Marlie Packer has been named this year’s World Rugby Women’s XVs Player of the Year, receiving the coveted award in front of fans and her rugby comrades in Auckland at the conclusion of WXV1 on Saturday, just moments after the Red Roses beat New Zealand in the final of the inaugural WXV1 competition in New Zealand."I'm proud and I’m on cloud nine. To be honest, when I got tired, I actually had some tears," Packer said.And only in November: Australia’s greatest horse race, the Melbourne Cup, where a total of A$8Million prize money is on offer, broken down as follows: 1st wins A$4.4M, 2nd gets A$1.1M, 3rd: A$550,000, 4th: A$350,000, 5th: A$230,000 and 6th-12th: $160,000 each.Track conditions are expected to be dry, hard and fast so we’re tipping two horses from Europe and one from Japan in our top three picks for Race 7 tomorrow at Flemington. So watch this space for our world famous tips!And finally the WNBA: Former WNBA and Aussie basketball star, Liz Cambage has reportedly signed a deal with a Chinese basketball team worth more than A$1Million for a three-month cameo in the local league with the Sichuan women’s team based in Chengdu.The insane money is off the charts for women’s basketball with WNBA Supermax contracts capped at US$153,000 per-season.Cambage was famously dumped by the Aussie team after allegedly telling Nigerian players to “go back to their third world country” during a scrimmage ahead of the 2021 Games.Cambage has repeatedly denied the allegations, despite numerous separate confirmations that she made the comment — including from former Opals captain Jenna O’Hea.She has made good so far on her promise to never represent Australia again.In recent years she has been known just as much for her career as an adult entertainer on a subscriptio
