Home match cancelled

THE Queensland Rugby League has informed the SP Hunters that this weekend’s Hostplus Cup match against Burleigh Bears in Port Moresby will not proceed as scheduled.
The league has sought ongoing independent advice in relation to the proposed Hunters home match on Saturday. Based on this advice and the need to ensure that the health and safety of all teams and club personnel remain a priority, the board has not approved travel to Papua New Guinea this weekend.
As a result, the Round-19 game between the Hunters and Bears will now be played at the Bycroft Oval on the Gold Coast.
The league remains in open dialogue with the South Pacific Brewery-sponsored Hunters and will review the latest advice before a decision is made about their request to host Mackay Cutters in Port Moresby next Saturday.
“We will meet again this week to discuss the proposed scheduling and will continue to explore opportunities to provide additional support for the Hunters,” league chairman Bruce Hatcher said.
The annoucement follows continued concerns over the General Election 2022.
