The National Sports February 17, 2023.

THE SP Hunters management are not happy with Wartovo Puara Jnr’s move to new Digicel Cup franchise Sepik Pride, but have wished him well in his career.

Hunters head coach Stanley Tepend said he was not pleased with the procedure in which the Pride had communicated with the Hunters leading up to the signing of the 2017 Hunters premiership winning hooker.

Tepend said Digicel Cup franchises should respect the Hunters, in regards to poaching players.

However, Tepend said Puara was winding down his career and his move was for the best interest of his family.

“We would like to wish Wartovo all the best in his career and all the best to the Pride as well,” Tepend said.

“He feels that the decision was for the best interest of his family and we respect that.

“But for the Hunters, we always try to maintain a good relationship with all Digicel Cup clubs.

“As part of our progarmme, we allow players in our 25 players’ roster to go back to their respective clubs when they are not on team lists each weekend.

“But if a Digicel Cup club wants to get a player then there has to be a clear communication. The Hunters club must be respected.

“I was not pleased with the way Pride went about signing Wartovo especially in terms of communication between us.

“We invested in Wartovo, spent time in rebuilding him during the preseason after he was injured last year but he chose to move on.

However, Puara said on Wednesday during the signing with the Pride that Tepend knew about his move.

“I’ve followed the proper processes at SP Hunters, I’ve written a letter to the management to release me,” Puara said.

Meanwhile, the Doncaster rugby league club said in a statement that Watson Boas was contracted to the club until next year.

“The Dons are aware of a story regarding Watson Boas back in his native Papua New Guinea,” the statement said.

“Watson is contracted to the Dons until the end of 2024, and we can confirm that we have not released

ALEX MAX ON FIRE FOR SP HUNTERS Alex Max is sweepingly becoming a household name for the SP Hunters for his impressive performances since he débuted in April 2024. His mesmerizing exhibitions had attracted wide following with media outlets doing their rounds well to celebrate the Simbu warrior's rugby talents. The 24 years Gumine native has been in sensational from his first game with 11 tries from 11 games. He can bust the defence line easily and defend well all day with blistering foot work and good fends iced with calculated money passes. Towering at 184cm the bullocking loose foward cum center has had his name chewed hard by rugby league commentators everytime he runs onto the ball, holding rugby fanatics in crazy mode. Max tasted professional football with the Waghi Tumbes before transitioning to the Hunters via the Gurias who moulded him as a foward from his usual center position. The 85Kg frame from Waramaril village in remote Gumine has been a good find for the Hunters co...

Devastating Defeat: SP PNG Hunters Crushed by Sunshine Coast Falcons in Round 19 Clash

Devastating Defeat: SP PNG Hunters Crushed by Sunshine Coast Falcons in Round 19 Clash In a match that fans will want to forget, the SP PNG Hunters faced a grim reality this afternoon, falling to an overwhelming 66-8 defeat at the hands of the Sunshine Coast Falcons during Round 19 of the Hostplus Cup Competition. The once-promising hopes of a comeback quickly faded as the Hunters struggled to find their rhythm on the field, leaving supporters disheartened. From the outset, the Hunters seemed to falter against the relentless momentum of the Falcons. Though they managed to score an early try, taking a brief lead of 4-0, it quickly turned into a nightmare as Sunshine Coast responded with an onslaught of points. By halftime, the scoreboard reflected a staggering 32-4 in favor of the Falcons, with the Hunters unable to capitalize on any scoring opportunities or regain control of the game. The second half saw no respite for the Hunters, who appeared to lose cohesion and confidence as the ...

The recruitment of Olam was reportedly influenced by coach Benji Marshall and interim chief executive Shane Richardson, rather than an axed recruitment manager. Additionally, the article highlights the strained relationship between recruitment manager Fulton and coach Marshall, which has led to changes in the club's recruitment structure, with a new recruitment committee consisting of Richardson, Marshall, and interim head of football Matthew Betsey.

Albert, who will start the season playing under coach Trent Barrett in the Panthers' under-20s team, is living with a New Zealand family and teammates in Cranebrook.

Source link:  https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/penrith-sign-giant-png-youngster-with-size-15-feet-20140202-31v2g.html? It is the first sighting of its kind, with Albert the first Papua New Guinean native to receive a NRL contract directly from his home country. The 19-year-old boarded a plane in PNG last Tuesday as a national hero, but touched down in Sydney as just another teenager with an NRL dream. ''He's just all raw ability at the moment. He's never been part of a football program, he's never lifted a weight, but he's a big, strong lad. It's quite exciting to get a raw talent like this just to see how far he will go.''   Albert's manager, Steve Deacon, believes the signing will have a huge impact in Papua New Guinea, where rugby league is already the No.1 sport. ''He'll be a national treasure,'' Deacon said. ''Kids will be running around wanting to be Wellington Albert. That will snowball once he gets his crack at...

Edwin Ipape: A Settlement Kid to one of the Top Dummy Halves of the World of Rugby League

  A Settlement Kid to one of the top Dummy Halves of the world: Edwin Ipape There's a lot of upcoming rugby league talents popping out of settlements like Morata. Where will they go? Which team to Play in semi professional competition? I think Vipers, Isou and Dabaris are their home Teams as most of them are brought up in POM.  These guns loved to talk about rugby league more than politics. At least 3-4 players from the surrounding settlements who meet the requirements must be in the teams named every season. Kain blo yumi lo overlookm ol best talents na mekim selections based on heritage and whom you know yah yumi lusim liklik. At least give them a try; ol tu papa blo graun so long as they call Moresby their home; recruitm planti blol settlement boys! Thanks!! Pics is Edwin Ipape @ Warakum Redgraun settlement 😍✊.
