Judah Rimbu Returns to Strengthen SP PNG Hunters for 2025 Campaign
The SP PNG Hunters have confirmed that hooker Judah Rimbu has rejoined the team for the rest of the 2025 Hostplus Cup season. His return is expected to provide the Hunters with a timely boost as they aim to finish the season strongly.
Rimbu, who was named the 2024 QRL Petero Civoniceva Medalist for being the competition’s best and fairest, comes back to the Hunters after spending time with Castleford Tigers in the English Super League. His release from Castleford follows a mid-year reshuffle by the club. The talented 23-year-old arrived in Port Moresby today and will link up with the squad later this week to begin preparations for crucial upcoming fixtures.
