PNG Hunters name team for round 13 clash with Central Queensland Capras

THE SP PNG Hunters have named their team for the Round 13 clash against Central Queensland Capras at Marley Brown Oval, Gladstone this Saturday at 7pm.

Coach Michael Marum will be expecting his team to tighten their defence against the Capras who are tough opposition on their home turf.

Last round the Hunters allowed the Norths Devils to score too many points against them in the first half and struggled to run them down in the second half despite a late spirited effort.

Centre Thompson Teteh is not available for selection due to a badly corked thigh – his place is to be filled by Noel Zeming.

Also not considered for selection is Sebastine Pandia, who has been stood down and heavily fined for a breach in the club’s code of conduct.

David Loko returns to the side after serving out his time for a breach of the club’s code of conduct.

Another welcome return to the side will be captain Israel Eliab, who has been out for the last two games due to measles.

The team (2 to be omitted) is:

1. Adex Wera
 2. Garry Lo
 3. Noel Zeming
