Ila Alu

Alu influences youths

His passion, humility and charisma to engage with youths in the suburb is overwhelming.

The 27-year-old Simbu-Central mix rocket dynamo, Alu has become the stalwart of the PNG Hunters. 

His love and passion for the game, leadership quality and influence that he brings to the playing group is second to none.

Back in Tokarara, Alu’s passion is not only for rugby league but to be a role model and an agent of change for the younger generation is strong. He trains many youths who play in the Hohola off-season league where he started his early rugby league.
