SP PNG HUNTERS NAME TEAM FOR NORTHS DEVILS ROUND 12 CLASH

The SP PNG Hunters have today named an extended squad of 20 players for their important Round 12 match this Sunday against North’s Devils at Bishop Park.

The Hunters currently in third spot, sit one point above the Devils in the ISC ladder and North’s will be looking to bounce back after their loss to Redciffe last weekend.

The Hunters, buoyed by an impressive backs to the wall win last weekend welcome players back, giving coach Michael Marum a selection headache for the match.

Captain Israel Eliab will not take the field after recovering from the measles while prop Joe Bruno will be monitored and assessed this week by the clubs medical staff, after suffering concussion in last weekends win.

Back for the Hunters are hard running prop Timothy Lomai, cult hero Willie Minoga and Dion Aiye. Coach Michael Marum will test the fitness of the players before finalising his 18- man squad for Sundays match.

The match will be televised live on Hitron and Channel 8 with a delayed telecast as 7pm on EMTV.
