Cumbrian Mackem Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Won their round 2 game today beating the Ipswich jets 44-22 after narrowly losing their round 1 fixture 20-18 against the wynnum manly seagulls. Great start to the season for Gold Coast based hunters who have lots of exciting young debutants in their squad this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian Mackem Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 If your average Papuan had the same build as your average Fijian then the kumuls would be absolute world beaters. Lack of size especially in the modern game is seriously holding the kumuls back on the international stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbrian Mackem Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 It’s no coincidence that the rising standard of play in the digicel cup has seen a better crop of new players enter into the hunters squad debut in the 2021 Queensland cup. I’d be very surprised if a record number of hunters players aren’t picked up by NRL clubs for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see a large crowd (for QRL games) and the passion of the hunters supporters. Made for a great atmosphere. Impressive performance against the ‘baby storm’ that featured Cooper Johns. Hunters have a limited squad so need to avoid injuries if they are to maintain this early season form. Good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita Bath Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I wouldn’t say there were any stand out players. They looked to be a well rounded team with great team spirit. They are limited to a 24 man squad because of them having relocated and two players left the game with injuries. Going to their Anzac Day game at Burleigh which is always a test, even though the bears havent started the season well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic, it`s Bears v Capras in the BHP premiership before the men`s game. CQ will do well to get anywhere near close to Burleigh`s women, who are looking unstoppable this year.

Anita Bath Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Yes I saw them demolish Easts (sorry I refuse to use the new name), a couple of weeks ago. Lost count but think it was something like 68-0. Seems like they have half the NZ national team playing for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita Bath Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Another high quality game. Hunters came back strongly and looked like they might snatch it until Bears scored a late try. Having been at this game, and the Titans v Bunnies game on Friday, the game is in great shape at both levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian Mackem Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 PNG RL has definitely gone up a level or 2 in the past 12-18 months with the domestic digicel cup competition and the hunters improving. Things will only get even more better for the kumuls with talks of the hunters entering an U20’s side into the Queensland cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It`s already a done deal mate, it was just postponed because of the pandemic. It`s very hard to see how PNG will not become a steady stream of quality League talent in the next few years, there should be serious Rugby League numbers coming out of that country.

There’s actually some exciting raw talent amongst the current hunters crop of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
