PNG Hunters name team for round 11 match against CQ Capras

The PNG SP Hunt resumes this weekend after a bye last week when the SP PNG Hunters travel to Rockhampton in Queensland to take on Central Queensland Capras in round 11 of the Queensland Intrust Super Cup on Sunday.

Co Captain Noel Zeming will play his 50th Intrust Super Cup game for the SP Hunters in the centres along side Thompson Teteh who will be making his 47th appearance. Zeming becomes the 4th player behind Wartovo Puara Jnr, Adex Wera and Esau Siune to achieve the 50th game milestone.

Coach Michael Marum congratulated Zeming on this achievement as he has been with the Hunters side since their entry into the Queensland Intrust Super Cup competition in 2014.

The notable omission is star half back Watson Boas who is still nursing an arm injury sustained in last week’s Pacific Test against Fiji. Ate Bina Wabo take his place in the starting line up and partners Ase Boas in the halves. Rugby convert Butler Morris has been named in the 18 man extended bench to travel to Brisbane.
