This Sunday will see the culmination of a fantastic season of Intrust Super Cup with the PNG Hunters facing off against the Sunshine Coast Falcons for the chance to hold the trophy aloft this year.
The Hunters are the minor premiers and come into this game having broken their finals hoodoo with a hard-fought win in Week 2 over the Redcliffe Dolphins.
The Falcons however have hit their straps at just the right time – winning three finals matches in a row to feature at Suncorp Stadium.
Falcons coach Craig Ingebrigtsen said his team were thrilled to be featuring on grand final day – completing a remarkable turnaround from recent season were they suffered 36 straight defeats.
“We are excited, but the job is not done yet,” he said.
He also said that while they were focused at the task at hand, they were trying to keep things as they have all season and were trying to lift the pressure by having “a bit of fun at training”.
Hunters coach Michael Marum faces a similar challenge and wanted his team work on their own game and not worry about what the exciting Falcons outfit might do on Sunday.
“We … (are) not too worried about them too much; we just (want to) make sure we concentrate on how best we can prepare to match them in the playing field.”
With two exciting teams going head-to-head, it promises to be a grand final to remember.
