WARTOVO PUARA JNR LEAVES PNG HUNTERS FOR AGMARK GURIAS

THE SP PNG Hunters announce with both pride and heartfelt gratitude the departure of long-serving player turned coach Wartovo Puara Jnr, who has made the decision to return transfer to the Agmark Rabaul Gurias for the upcoming season.

Wartovo’s decision was made with the best interests of his family at heart, reflecting his commitment to both his career and personal responsibilities.

Puara, a stalwart of the PNG Hunters since

their inception in 2014 has been an integral part of the team’s journey in the Queensland Cup competition to winning a premiership in 2017.

Known for his exceptional skill, leadership, and sportsmanship, he has been a true ambassador of rugby league in Papua New Guinea, inspiring countless young players to follow in his footsteps.

“This was not an easy decision for me,” said Puara.

“The Hunters have been my family for over a decade, and I am proud of everything we’ve achieved together.

However, after much thought and discussions with my family, I have decided to join the Agmark Rabaul Gurias to better support my loved ones and continue supporting the sport I love closer to home.”
