Here is what he said:
“I know there are a lot of young guys coming through who would benefit from this opportunity to play in the World Cup, and I’d love for them to get the opportunity that I was given at the age of 19 years old in 2008, and I was able to make an NRL career out of it. I hope that opportunity can be given to one of these young guys coming through,” he explains.
Mead is Kumul 227 and made his debut against England at RLWC2008 at an age of 19 years old. He has gone on to represent Papua New Guinea Kumuls in many test matches, featuring in 2019 RLWC where PNG made it to the Qtr finals in England.
Saturday’s game will be his 15th test match for the Kumuls, and his appearance record bettered only by Stanley Gene, John Wilshere and Paul Aiton (each of whom has made 16 Kumuls test appearances).
