Despite the Hunters defending the act as a tackle gone wrong with no intention to make shoulder contact, Appo will now miss the match against the Sunshine Coast Falcons on April 17th.
This is a minor setback for the 22-year-old from the outskirts of Goroka in the Eastern Highlands, who deferred his final year science studies at the university to establish himself in the Hunters side and make the Kumuls’ squad for the upcoming World Cup. He had been in good form and thriving in a leadership role.
