PNG Hunters pre-season training starts tomorrow minus prop Albert

THE Papua New Guinea Hunters pre-season training resumes tomorrow as coach Michael Marum looks to trim down his 32-man squad for the 2018 Q-Cup season.
Vice-captain Wellington Albert will not be a part of the squad this season when his Kumul teammates — captain Ase Boas, Watson Boas, Wartovo Puara Jr, Stargroth Amean, Stanton Albert, Enoch Maki, Nixon Put, Moses Meninga and Willie Minoga — join the camp in Port Moresby.
Albert signed a contract to play with Super League club Widnes Vikings in England.
Marum said the squad would be reduced to 25 at the end of the month. The SP Hunters play a preseason match against the Brisbane Broncos in Port Moresby on Feb 24.
The 32-man training squad: Adex Wera, Butler Morris, Muka Peter Kulu, Rhadley Brawa, Gahuna Silas, Wawa Paul, William Mone, Adam Korave, Junior Rau, Kennedy Ben, Edene Gebi, Junior Bobby, McKenzie Yei, Baunda Aba, Julias Yokopa, Ila Alu, Dilbert Isaac, Brendon Gutuno, John Andy, Charlie Simon, Patrick Morea, Joseph Konz, Clyde Name, Ase Boas, Watson Boas, Wartovo Puara Jr, Stanton Albert, Willie Minoga, Nixon Put, Moses Meninga, Enoch Maki, Stargroth Amean.
