HUNTERS Head Coach Paul Aiton is preparing the team for the first ANZAC round this Saturday at the Santos National Football Stadium in Port Moresby.
After two consecutive losses, Aiton is expecting a good game in front of the home fans.
The coach said the team has undergone its preparations, assessing few errors from the previous games.
“We had a pretty good preparation; we had a couple of losses for ourselves and so now the boys are ready to go,” said Aiton.
“ANZAC Round so we went to the Bomana War cemetery and had a little bit of background of it, what it is all about,” he said.
Straddy has designed a special jersey for the Hunters to commemorate ANZAC.
Aiton Highlighted that Hunters have kept the scoreline close as much as possible during their previous matches.
This has given confidence to Aiton; however, he said that the pack needed to play a little bit better in order to take lead in every game.
“We have been focusing on each session and today we did what we have to do during the trainings in preparation for the weekend game,” he said.
Hunters now will focus on higher completion, mainly in ball security.
Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea are commemorating ANZAC in remembering the Fallen Heroes who stood up during World War I and II.
It will be a great game and a must to watch match as Hunters take on Burleigh Beers this Saturday at 3pm.
Meanwhile, Hunters have welcomed Seal Kalo who returns to the team after being in the rehab for several months due to injury.
Finley Glare returns to the team and young Wane Manuma to make 18th man for this weekend game.
