Haro rises from Kaugere to Hunters

By The National Newspaper Sports Reporters

IT was in the mid-2000s when a young boy from the once known notorious Kaugere suburb spent most of his weekends on the sidelines of Kaugere Oval.

Shane Haro would carry his uncles’ boots on one hand and a bucket of sand on the other hand and watch his uncles play.

Whatever the weather, that boy was driven by rugby league and all his family and friends knew it.

Recalling those days, Haro, now 22, loved it, he was passionate about the sport and would look forward to every weekend, rugby league was a dream growing up, no doubt about that.

Today, the Gulf man is among the PNG Hunters 32-man train-on squad gearing up for the 2019 Queensland Cup season.
