2019 Papua New Guinea Hunters season
Rugby league team season
The 2019 Intrust Super Cup was the PNG Hunters sixth season in the Queensland Cup after securing their future for the next four years until 2022.[ 1] Adex Wera was the captain of the team and he was assisted by his deputy Moses Meninga [ 2] The Hunters only won four of their games and drew one with a record eighteen losses for the season. 18 new players made their debuts while poor form and discipline let the team down.[ 3] [ 4] Five Hunters players were named in the Papua New Guinea Kumuls squad for the 2019 Oceania Cup (rugby league) Pool B Ox & Palm Pacific Invitational Tests against Toa Samoa and Fiji Bati and also for the match against the touring Great Britain Lions .[ 5]
