PNG Hunters set for Mackay Cutters

Hunters at Captains run at Mackay Stadium this afternoon

The Papua New Guinea SP Hunters will take on Mackay Cutters at the Stadium Mackay this evening. The Hunters are determined to win this game after they convincingly thrashed   third placed Wynnum Manly Seagulls  36 - 13 infront of a capacity crowd at the Sir John Guise stadium in Port Moresby last week.

This is the second last game  for the normal rounds. The Hunters will host Burleigh Bears in the final game at the Sir John Guise stadium in Port Moresby next week. 

 Hunters coach Michael Marum has reminded his players not to be complacent as they approach the business end of the Queensland Cup season.

Marum said it was important not to lose concentration as momentum would be a bonus for any team heading into the finals.

Half back Ase Boas has been rested and utility player, Ate Bino Wabo will take over the playmaking role in this match against the Cutters.

The game will be played today.
