Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "That he died from heat stroke at training with the PNG Hunters, only days before his planned departure for the UK, is especially tragic. It should never have happened. He must have suffered greatly as his condition rapidly deteriorated.
It is truly sad and painful to read about his fate. He was preparing himself for the next stage in his sporting career. How unfair.'"
Such sad news. As he was preparing to come out here, he put himself forward to do an extra bit of training with the PNG hunters when it happened. His funeral was screened on state television, so heartbreaking. They're treated like national treasures in PNG. You only have to look at the Widnes FB page, it's gained thousands of followers, all from PNG who have adopted widnes as their team.
