Kimbe Cutters put faith in second-rowers

KIMBE Cutters say they will be counting on big, mobile second-rowers Elijah Roltinga and Tony Worot to lead their pack in the 2021 Digicel Cup season. Franchise chairman Freddie Kumai told The National on Wednesday that new recruit, Rotinga, and former Rabaul Gurias junior Worot had the skills and size of a complete athlete. He also backed the pair earn selection into the SP Hunters’ programme. “Worot has been with the Cutters for the last two season, this will be his third year with us,” Kumai said. “He was with the Gurias for a season before he joined us, but he never played a game for them. “Tony is 186cm tall and he is quick.  “He has been playing at centre, but for this season, we’ve moved him into the second row and we believe he will be at his best in the new role. “Another impressive new player is Elijah Roltinga, from Western Highlands. He has the same size as Worot and he is very young. “Him and Worot are in their early 20s. Roltinga is also very tall and has the skills that can make him a class second-rower in the competition. The Cutters will face host Port Moresby Vipers in round one at the Oil Search National Football Stadium tomorrow (3.30pm kick-off).
