In naming the 20-man extended squad this afternoon, Hunters coach Michal Marum said both Albert and Amean will be rested this weekend after suffering minor injuries from last weekend’s trial match in Cairns.
“Stargroth has a suspected fractured collar bone while Wellington has a sternum injury,” said Marum.
Marum added Junior Rop and Watson Boas are also out, injured.
On to Nixon Put, Marum named the Western Highlands youngster in the starting line-up after a stellar performance last weekend.
