 PRIME Minister Peter O’Neill says they are expressing interest to host National Rugby League games in Papua New Guinea due to large NRL following here.

“The reports we are getting is that many teams in the Queensland Cup competition want to play in different cities in PNG and this is the best way to promote sports in our country,” he said.

“So let’s build on confidence on last Sunday’s game in Lae between the PNG Hunters and Norths Devils,” O’Neill, who is also Sports Minister, said.

The PNG Hunters continued their surge in their quest to secure a spot in the finals after putting away Norths Devils 32-10 in front of a sell-out crowd at the Lae Rugby League Grounds this afternoon.

More than 6000 people poured in to watch the Country Week Round 19 clash and they weren't disappointed with the home side running in five tries to two.

The first points of the match came after four minutes with captain and five-eighth, Ase Boas booting the Hunters in front from a penalty conversion.

The SP Hunters players will be wearing specially designed jerseys and shorts for this Sunday’s Intrust Super Cup round 19 Country Week match against Norths Devils in Lae, Morobe Province.

PNGRFL CEO Reatau Rau said the new look jerseys signify that the country week game themed: ‘Get in the Game’, is QRL approved.

PNGRFL CEO Reatau Rau said the tickets will be on sale from 9am tomorrow (Tuesday)at Brian Bell and Foodmart in Lae and Andersons at Eriku.
