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.

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.

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...
