Warriors armed to take on Tarangau
By MUSARIKE ANANGAI
KSPA Dobo Warriors are intent on
improving on their 28-12 victory over Souths last week when they
take on Hekari Tarangau in the main game of the Port Moresby rugby
league on Sunday.
Club secretary Mathias Jack said while the task will not be easy,
the club has had a good start to the season and are intent on
maintaining their form.
"We want to play three times better than last week", he said
yesterday. "With the momentum that we have, we don't want to slow
down".
They will be led by inspirational captain Thomas Ninkama and
tackling machine Lazen Marabe who can rely on assistance from
fullback and Wali Vele Raiders squad member Andrew Stone.
Dobo has won three matches going into the fifth round, and
currently shares second spot with Royals, Magani, Brothers and
Hawks.
Their only loss was to Royals two weeks ago when they got run down
in the last ten minutes.
The Butterflies are the only undefeated team in what has been an
even opening four rounds with several teams sharing positions;
Butterflies (7), Royals, Magani, Brothers, Hawks, Dobo (6), Kone
Tigers, Tarangau, Paga (4), Post Puma (3), Waliya, Souths (2),
Defence, West (0).
Also on Sunday, PNG Recycling Waliya will face last week's big
winners Euro Builders Magani led by in-form fullback Burau Burau
who has scored four tries in the past two matches.
However, Magani will miss the services of ace goal kicker Oala
Frank (five from five last week) through injury.
Coach Ivan Ravu has indicated he may make several changes in the
halves, hooker and centres because of the options he has through
players coming back from injury.
In the other matches on Saturday, Souths will take on last-placed
West, Brothers meet Paga while the Kone Tigers will have their
hands full against an in-form Royals outfit who will be out to
record a fourth straight victory.
On Sunday Defence takes on Post Puma while front runners
Butterflies will play Hawks.
