The SP PNG Hunters and Penrith Panthers took time out from training today to relax as they prepare for the trial match this evening at the National Football Stadium (NFS) in Port Moresby.
The home team had a morning walk and is now relaxing in camp at the PNG Institute of Public Administration while the Panthers are based at the Holiday Inn Hotel.
PNG Rugby Football League chief executive officer Bob Cutmore said it is tradition that teams take time off from training to prepare mentally and maintain team spirit before a game.
He said both teams did well in their captain’s run yesterday at the NFS and are focused and looking forward to the match.
They’ll make their way to the stadium at 4pm.
Prime Minister Peter O’Neill is confirmed to open the stadium today with the official kick off.
