Isapea poised for first ever back-to-back win

 PRK Prima Gulf Isapea have a great opportunity to grab back to back wins when they play the luckless TNA Lions at the Lloyd Robson Oval in Port Moresby on Sunday.

Isapea coach Nigel Hukula, who finally wore a smile after their first win over the Kemele Hela Wigmen,  will be hoping his charges can take that winning feeling over a rare two weekends.

While the inclusion of former Go­roka Lahanis hard-man Siegfried Gande has added some bite to their forwards, the potential addition of Anton Kui will add more fuel to their attack.

TNA Lions coach Hans Kaybing has a dilemma on his hands following three consecutive huge losses. The loss of several key players has exposed their lack of playing depth.

Lions half-back Willy Guambo will be the player to watch, as the team only does well if the wiry playmaker is in top gear.

His combination with five-eight Supa Takai and rake Manu Minga will play a key role in pushing for the Kundiawa franchise’s first win.

However, if last week was any indication, Isapea’s kicking game through five-eighth Junior Belo will again play a strong role with forwards Samuel Hamari, Stanley Korowa, Andrew Luke, Willie Martin and Dickson Wallen to ensure an­other strong performance.

Lions forwards Felix Brown, Joe Kupsy, Kawage Dilu and Inoch Siune will be given the task to do the job through the middle to give the Gulf franchise a strong hit-out.

The games kicks off at 3pm.
