FINAL SCORE: Hunters 22 v Souths Logan 20.

Kokomo Daniel Russell had a solid game for the Magpies.

PNG defence conceding far too many metres before players are tackled, line discipline and speed is non existent, Magpies were able to come back time and time again because they were picking holes in the patchy defensive line.

They were lucky to collect the two championship points today but continued lack of defensive discipline will surely compromise their chances of making it to the final series.
