Hunters coach Michael Marum

With eight minutes to go in Saturday’s 24 to 20 loss to the Townsville Blackhawks, Teteh suffered a season ending injury after getting kneed in a tackle by Blackhawks half-back Michael Parker-Welsh.

Teteh remained on the field and completed the game but saw a doctor after full time, who rushed him to Townsville Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery.

PNG Rugby League Chief Executive Officer, Bob Cutmore, said Teteh was in a stable condition on Sunday night and after a medical review, was released from hospital this yesterday.

The 25-year-old captain of the Gulf Isapea team, Bernard Goma, made his first appearance in the Hunters training camp this week after playing 13 round games with Gulf Isapea in the Digicel Cup competition.

Goma started playing in local competitions in schools. His move from the national level in the Digicel Cup and into the international level was a quick one.

PNG SP Hunters coach Michael Marum told the media that due to a lot of injuries to his players, Goma was recruited as a backup after seeing his potential at the national level.

Marum revealed that fullback Stargroth Amean and utility Noel Zeming are both under injury clouds.

He said Amean struggled to train during the week and is currently being monitored by the physio while Zeming is still carrying an injured arm and fractured wrist.

Marum went on to say if Zeming is ruled out, 18th man Butler Morris will be slotted in to take his place.

Forward Brandy Peter will miss this weekend's game after Marum explained for personal reasons.

This has pushed Enoch Maki into the starting line-up.
