Butler Morris

Also promoted to the starting line-up is Stanton Albert at prop and McKenzie Yei in the 2nd row.

Starters in the last game; Dilbert Isaac, Ila Alu, Edene Gabbie, Moses Meninga and William Mone, have been named on the extended 20-man bench.

Coach Michael Marum will finalise the starting 17 at the Captain’s Run this Saturday.

After Round 13 matches, the SP PNG Hunters currently share the fifth spot on the ladder with Easts Tigers and Sunshine Coast Falcons, with 12 points each.

Marum revealed that fullback Stargroth Amean and utility Noel Zeming are both under injury clouds.

He said Amean struggled to train during the week and is currently being monitored by the physio while Zeming is still carrying an injured arm and fractured wrist.

Marum went on to say if Zeming is ruled out, 18th man Butler Morris will be slotted in to take his place.

Forward Brandy Peter will miss this weekend's game after Marum explained for personal reasons.

This has pushed Enoch Maki into the starting line-up.
