Bombers make four changes to line-up
By SAMPSON BONAI
LBC Bombers had made four changes to their line-up when they take
on top-placed Brian Bell Bulldogs in round five of SP Cup game at Port
Moresby’s Lloyd Robson Oval on Sunday.
Bombers registered their first victory over Rabaul Gurias last weekend
and are looking forward to winning their second in Port Moresby.
Bombers coach Boga Tau said he opted for experienced players and had to
rest two of his young players Yapa Kapu and Noel Wasu, and call up
veterans Randall Kaupa, Titus Maima, Leonard Otmar and Donald Akisar.
“It is a crucial game and I opted for more experienced players to
withstand the pressure from the top team,” Tau said.
The rest of the side remain the same with lock John Milba retaining the
captaincy, Benson Joel playing fullback, while Leonard Otmar will
partner Eki Ene in the
centres.
Andrew Sam had been called to fill in five-eighth position and Nime Kapo
completes the backline at halfback.
Tony Dai will pack down with Dusty Mockley at prop and Andrew Baine
plays hooker, Anton Ken and Jerry Kuts will be the two backrowers.
Forwards Jopi Sape, Cedric Belo Titus Maima and backline specialist
Randall Kaupa will start from the bench.
Brian Bell Bulldogs will rely on captain and lock Johnson Kuike to lead
his charges upfront when they take on Bombers in their home turf on
Sunday.
Bulldogs have recorded straight victories on their home turf and will
look forward to add Bombers to their list of victims.
Enara had put his charges through serious training this week with more
emphasis on ball security and attack and defence to stop their opponents
and to utilise their backline to the fullest.
