Enga Mioks will host Hela Wigmen at the Lae rugby league ground in what is expected to be a fiery encounter, while the Lae Tigers will try to maintain pride with their first minor premiership against the Mendi Muruks. The Mioks held off the vicious Port Moresby Vipers in Lae last week and are set on continuing their winning streak.
Muruks, who failed to last for 80 minutes in Kokopo last Sunday, will have the spectator advantage as hosts over the competition leaders in Mt Hagen. Mioks coach Timothy Lepa has maintained his team of young guns have been working hard on their combinations and have been improving in every match .He said they will try to shut out the Muruks. Tigers, on the other hand, have had the shortest week this season after returning to Lae last Monday following their 24-18 win over the Wigmen in the Western Highlands capital and their return trip by road last (Thursday) night. “It’s been a short week for us. “After a day off, we trained on Wednesday and Thursday and then had to travel on the last night after training in order for the boys to acclimatise,” said coach Stanley Tepend. “Muruks are a good, strong and solid side. “We have been working on adapting our combinations,” Tepend said. He said prop Mogi Wei Junior will make his long awaited return while young hooker Warren Glare will be out of action for the second week following his hamstring injury. Comments are closed.
