2021 INTRUST SUPER CUP HIGHLIGHTS - RD 10 - PNG HUNTERS VS Norths Devils

Tony Tumusa scored the first of his two tries in the fifth minute off a fine pass from Gregorius, who was also prominent in skipper Jack Ahearn’s try three minutes later. But the Hunters weren’t about to surrender and showed the trademark fight that will have them among the serious finals contenders if they can make a surge in the second half of the season. Solo Wane rang the length of the field in the 11th minute after latching on to a pass in the in-goal from Brandon Nima. When forward Jordan Riki was sin-binned in the 33rd minute, the Hunters put two quick tries on the Devils to go to halftime trailing 20-16. The scoreline stayed that way until the Devils kicked open the gates in the 58th minute when hooker Danny Levi, again causing serious problems for the opposition, found forward Piki Rogers for a try. Roberts’ kick for Reuben followed six minutes later, but the hope that the popular winger could nail his 100th try – in record-breaking time – was put on hold as Gregorius and then Tumusa, running on to a Levi pass, put the game out of Hunters’ reach.

Both teams gathered in a huddle on the field after the match as the Devils thanked the Hunters for the sacrifices they had made this year in leaving their homeland to base themselves on the Gold Coast. The heartfelt moment capped on an entertaining game that was well supported by fans of both teams.
