Captain Eliab calls for Hunters fans for their support

6/10/2015

 
 PAPUA New Guinea Hunters captain Israel Eliab is ready to lead his side into battle against the Souths Logan Magpies on Saturday at the Sir John Guise Stadium.
Eliab called on Hunters fans and league fans in the capital to come and support the side and he was sure the team would rise to the occasion.

“I’ve got faith in the guys. They’ve been outstanding over the last few games.”
Supporting his captain’s vision, Hunters coach Michael Marum said beating the Magpies, who are third-last on the ladder, would be great for them and the fans at the new stadium but he agreed that they needed to focus on the getting the result above all else.
