The SP PNG Hunters team is made up of players with different qualifications both on and off the field; some of the players have the passion for rugby league but are trained professionals in other fields as well.
Since 2014, the club has had players come into the team, who have tertiary education, others with secondary school qualifications and some, who are keen on pursuing their education and work, while part of the fulltime squad.
The SP PNG Hunters team has players contracted to the team for a year, and apart from them being fulltime rugby league players, the management has programs in place to help the players prepare themselves outside of rugby league if they decide to pursue their careers elsewhere.
