The Hunters completed week three of pre-season training up at the National Sports Institute in Goroka last week and are now on their Christmas break.
Michael Marum said he was also grateful to the Digicel Cup franchise coaches and trainers who attended the Goroka camp. He wished them well and success in the next season.
The 33-man squad will go back into camp in Port Moresby on January 3, 2017.
A 27 or 28-man squad will be finalised in the next two weeks, stated Marum.
