PNG APPRECIATION DAY CANCELLED

Thursday, 19 February 2015 by John Ten

Due to the extreme weather prediction the Ipswich Jets are making a pre-emptive decision To cancel this weekends trial games against the Tweed Heads Seagulls and the PNG Hunters. We have not taken this decision lightly due to the preparation already put in to the event however we have checked with the weather people and the local councils re what’s likely to happen here in the next 24 to 48 hours. From what we can tell it’s not looking good with a potential Cat 4 cyclone and plenty of flood warnings and road closures likely. In this case we feel that it would be irresponsible of us to expect our opposition teams, bus drivers and fans to travel on roads that could be dangerous. In view of this we believe it is safer to cancel our trial matches for this weekend. Although this is not what we wanted we don’t believe that we have any other real options. We are sorry about the inconvenience caused because of this decision but we trust you will understand.

Thanks

Papua New Guinean rugby league players in Queensland have been invited to send a team to the Pacific Balanced Fund Nines tournament in March in Lae, Morobe. The Queensland Papua New Guinea Kokomo have been rewarded for their consistent support during the PNG Hunters inaugural season last year. PNGRFL chief executive officer Brad Tassell confirmed the team was invited and was excited to be part of the tournament. “The Queensland PNG teams have their own organised competition and during the Hunters season last year they were our biggest supporters during matches in Queensland,” Tassell said.
