SP PNG Hunters Buoyed By Backline Strength
SP PNG Hunters hope to begin a mid-season charge with the return of key backline combinations for Saturday’s Intrust Super Cup clash with Mackay Cutters at Bycroft Oval.
Winger Brendon Gotuno is among the returning players, three months after he broke his arm in the opening minutes of the last clash between the Hunters and the Cutters in Mackay.
The Hunters overcame Gotuno’s injury to sizzle through three tries in 14 minutes in one of the best passages of football since they arrived at their Gold Coast base for the 2021 season.
Since then, the Hunters have dealt with an unlucky injury run that has tested their depth away from home. They’re now waiting with other teams to see if the Queensland Government will lift a COVID lockdown at 6pm tomorrow night to enable Round 12 of the competition to proceed.

“I think our test defensively will start at the PTB (play the ball),” Crawley said.
“Both of their hookers (Tyson Smoothy and Kurt Baptise) have NRL experience and they also have several Storm allocated players who will handle the footy long before it gets to McGavin on the flanks.”
“Hopefully if we are good at the ruck we can limit his chances on the end of the line.”
Mackay has also benefited from the development of key youth prospects this season, under the tutelage of former NRL talent.
“Sean Mullany, Josh Smith and Blake Paskins are all in their first ISC season, and have made the step up strongly,” Crawley said.
