Affiliate wrap: Christensen doubles up in Faeamani's return as Tweed take down PNG
Rising forward Adam Christensen has put himself in the conversation for a NRL recall after a two-try player of the match performance to help Tweed to victory over Papua New Guinea on Saturday.
The 24-year-old was a cut above the rest in the Seagulls' 34-18 takedown of the Hunters, not only finding the line twice but topping the running metres tally with 149 - 52 of those post-contact - as well as a line break and 12 tackles at a perfect 100 percent efficiency.

With a number of forward pack spots up for grabs with Tino Fa'asuamaleaui on Origin duties and Chris Randall ruled out after his failed HIA, his recent run of performances back at Cup - including at the weekend - has put Christensen back in the frame to make the trip to Leichhardt Oval on Sunday.
In further good news, rookie flyer Siale Faeamani made a successful return from his MCL injury, getting through the first half of the game unscathed and is expected to get further minutes under his belt this weekend when Tweed travel to Bishop Park to face the Norths Devils.
