SP PNG Hunters will be looking to make history this Sunday at 3pm at the Oil Search National Football Stadium if they beat the Wynnum Manly Seagulls.

A win this weekend in round 24 of the Queensland Intrust Super Cup will see the Hunters cement the Minor Premiership for the first time since the team entered the competition in 2014.

Hunters Coach Marum is confident and has retained the same line up for the past two weekends and sees fit to run the same team to accomplish the milestone.

The Hunters are three points clear ahead of the Redcliff Dolphins and a win this weekend will make things much easier for them when they meet last placed Tweed Head Seagulls next weekend in the final round where they will be out to vent some payback after their loss to them in round 15.

“Minor premiership wasn’t part of our goal this year we wanted to qualify for top six but we did really well.

“A win for us will see us minor premiers something big for the team in the fourth season we have made it three times into the finals we are only focusing one game at a time so we are focused for this weekend’s game,” Marum said

He added that no one player is guaranteed a spot in the team for the finals with player’s performance on the weekend determining the final spots

“No one is guaranteed a spot in the finals depending on their performance this weekend injury and suspensions depending on how they perform we have players who are coming off injury as well like Adex Wera,” Marum said

PNG Kumuls captain David Mead will be part of the Visiting Seagulls team he plays for the Brisbane Broncos and will in the centers for the feeder club.

He will be looking to impress Kumuls Coach Micheal Marum for a space in the World Cup team this October.
