Albert to join team later

SP Hunters 2017 premiership-winning forward Stanton Albert missed the team’s relocation flight to Brisbane yesterday, citing family commitments.
Papua New Guinea Rugby Football League chief executive Stanley Hondina said another Hunters squad member, who was suspected of contracting Covid-19 a fortnight ago, had returned a negative result after 14 days and would join the team with Albert during the season.
“There was one player who requested to stay back and we respect his decision, he is Stanton Albert,” he said.
