SP PNG Hunters name squad for IPSWICH trial

The SP Hunters have named their squad for this Saturday afternoon’s trial game against the Ipswich Jets at North Ipswich Reserve from 5.30pm.

The match is the only pre-season trial for the SP Hunters and will be televised live on TV Wan.

Wartovo Puara & Thompson Teteh will take their places in the trial after returning from their 6-week train and trial stint with South Sydney said coach Michael Marum;

“While we would have loved to see both boys stay with South Sydney it’s a bonus to have them back and it will certainly strengthen our squad. We are very happy to have them both back and hope the experience has made them even better players. I know both players will be looking forward to a big season with the Hunters and the possibility of another crack at the NRL.”

The SP Hunters have named a 21-man squad with several players excluded while overcoming off-season surgery and injury including Adex Wera, Sebastian Pandia, Timothy Lomai, Noel Zeming and Edward Goma said Marum;

“We want to make sure the majority of the squad is fit and ready for the start of the season. It’s a chance for all the new boys to step up and show that they deserve a spot in the 18 for our first game against South’s Logan in 3 weeks time”

The club's first game of the season kicks off against the South Logan Magpies in Brisbane on Sunday the 8th March 2015.

Die-hard fans are welcome to attend the SP Hunters Season Launch, on Sunday 1st March 2015 at the Gateway Hotel, Port Moresby.

Tables are available for the event @ K4,500 per table of 10 or K450 per person. For all enquiries and bookings contact Brad Tassell at: brad@pngrfl.org.pg or phone 71114699.
