PNG Hunters winger Brendon Nima will clock in his 100th Queensland Rugby League game on Sunday against Ipswich Jets. It has surely been a tough and enjoyable career for the experienced live wire winger since making his QRL debut back in 2018 under the coaching guidance of Michael Marum. “Injury wise, I looked after my body well and played long for Hunters.
” “This is my seventh season with the club...
no major injuries but only setback was like living away from my young family, move only to play footy but it is all part of life and that is our job,” said Nima. “Happy to reach that milestone given only few players who have played for the club manage to play 100 games.” Throughout his stint with Hunters, Nima has scored 43 tries which included two tries from the opening three games this season.
Ahead of Sunday’s match against Ipswich Jets, Nima said the team is preparing well and he is hopeful they get a win to celebrate his milestone game appearance. He also acknowledge the support from his partner and PNG Orchids rep Belinda Gwasamun, his son, immediate family, his former coaches in the likes of Marum, Stanley Tepend, local league coaches, Glen Nami, Paul Aiton and others. “They have all done a wonderful job in bringing me this far and hopefully give a good game and get a win as well.
” If the opportunity of scoring a try on his special game, Nima said; “it will be a double bonus for me like winning the game and scoring a try on my 100th game...
something I’m looking forward to this weekend.”.
