The Hunters have plummeted to the bottom of the Hostplus Cup ladder following their 11th loss of the 2026 season. In a devastating 16-32 defeat against the Northern Pride, the team struggled significantly at the Santos National Football Stadium in Port Moresby. The poor performance triggered an open revolt among the home crowd, with many fans exiting the stadium early. Spectators were heard screaming for immediate player axings as frustration peaked. This atmosphere marks a sharp decline for a venue that was once considered the most intimidating road trip in the competition. The stadium has now become a center of toxic discontent. The team remains anchored to the bottom of the standings with little momentum.
