Redcliffe Dolphins vs PNG Hunters Preview

PORT MORESBY - The Hunters landed in Australia yesterday and are riding the crest of a club record nine-game winning streak.

Their most recent loss came way back in mid-April to Wynnum Manly, coincidentally the last time they featured on Channel 9 and coach Michael Marum will be after an improved showing in front of the cameras this time around.

Marum has made one change to his starting side - Lawrence Tu'u earning a promotion to lock while Oti Bland Tony is the new addition on an extended bench.

Home side the Dolphins got past Norths 32-22 in their match last weekend, but have only won one from their last four.

In a somewhat surprise move, regular backrower Trent Richardson has been selected to partner Luke Capewell in the halves.

Despite not being named, ex-Central Queensland Capras flyer Marlon Doak is in line to make his Dolphins debut.

The former Australian touch football representative has set the Brisbane Rugby League competition alight this season, scoring 16 tries for affiliate club Gaters.

There are three potential milestones to be reached this weekend for the Hunters with Noel Zeming requiring only two more points to bring up 100 for second consecutive season; while Thompson Teteh and skipper Israel Eliab have both scored 23 tries for PNG, one less than Garry Lo who is top with 24.
