Bombers vow to make amends
LAE Builders and Contractors (LBC)
Bombers have vowed to restore their lost pride and register on the
score board when they take Agmark Gurias this Sunday in Lae rugby
league oval.
The Bombers have so far lost their last two matches and did not
want to go empty hand this Sunday in front of their rhetoric
supporters.
Coach Boga Tau, despite the two losts, has hope and confidence for
his players and that is to start fresh this weekend and take a
cool breather.
Tau said yesterday this weekend game between Gurias was very
important for them to restore the lost pride and bring some hopes
back in the rugby fans -dominated city of Lae.
Tau said he had made four changes in the line -up that took
Bintargor Lahanis last Sunday in Goroka.
Toyota Enga Mioks reject utility five-eight Andrew Sam is among
the new faces whom would coordinate the backline well with PNG
Kumuls trio Nime Kapo and Eki Ene.
Other new faces called-up were included Magani's hit man Anton
Ken, Jape Jopi and Noel Waso who would give more power in the
forward pack.
Youngster Max Romanong who played five-eight in the last two games
would be at the bench with other injured players Jonah Mackey,
Steven Kua, Otmar Leonard and Jackson Undi.
Tau said the line-up looked promising having some bunched of
experienced SP Cup players like Sam, Ene, Kapo to steer the
backline while the forward pack has hardworking second rower Jerry
Kutz, Cedric Belo, Dusty Mockley and captain John Milba.
"This weekend game will be our first win. I expect the boys to
play according to the game plan to the full 80 minutes of the
game.
"The preparation was okay after the game against Lahanis last
Sunday where few mistakes were rectified. This is our home ground
and am sure we will not let our supporters down this Sunday", Tau
added.
The likely line- up is: Benson Joel, Samson Ninge, Ene, Russ Kaupa
Jr, Glenn Nami, Sam, Kapo, Tony Dai, Andrew Baine, Donald Akisaro,
Kutz, Noel Waso and Milba. Reserves are: Yapa Kapu, Belo, Jopi,
Ken, Mockley and Titus Maima.
The technical officials: Tau (coach), Robert Kua (trainer), Joseph
Sambiru (team doctor) and Joe Katsir (team manager).
