Sabastine Pandia and Thomson Teteh out
|
The bad news for Marum is that electrifying centre Thomson Teteh was ruled out with a badly corked thigh and Sebastian Pandia has been stood down and heavily fined for a breach of the club’s code of conduct.
Eliab returns after two weeks on the sideline due to measles while Loko is back after serving out his time for a breach of the club’s code of conduct.
Marum when announcing his 20 man squad yesterday ahead of this must-win game said the team has been working on their defensive drills at training this week. Noel Zemming will start in the centres in place of Teteh.
Capras beat Hunters 30-18 in their pre-season trial match at Browne Park and in Round three of the season proper, Hunters turned the table with a 46-14 trouncing at Kokopo.
"Those games are history now and Capras will be hard to beat on their home turf," Marum said.
"We have been allowing the opposition to score too many points in the first half and then struggle to run them down in the latter stages of game despite some late spirited efforts from the boys," he said.
Hunters are currently in 5th spot with 15 points behind Northern Pride and Ipswich Jets on 18 points each and Wymnnum Manly Seagulls and Norths Devils, both on 16 points.
Capras are second last with seven points in the 13 team competition.
The Hunters leave tomorrow for the game on Saturday at
7pm at Marley Brown oval in Gladstone, Brisbane.
