Schoolboy reps a key for Tweed
Graham Callaghan

TWEED Heads coach Troy McCarthy will be looking for match-winning performances from his three Australian schoolboy representatives when Seagulls clash with equal-leaders Redcliffe Dolphins in the Queensland Wizard Cup rugby league match at Piggabeen tomorrow.

Gold Coast Titans' hopefuls Chris Sandow and Will Matthews start from the bench and Shannon Walker is included in the starting line-up on the wing with McCarthy saying the three 18-year-olds, who toured the United Kingdom with the Australian schoolboys' side last season, would not let him down.

"We are without our two usual Titans' players with backrower Daniel Conn having a wrist operation and front rower Michael Hodgson called up for the Parramatta match," said McCarthy.

"The three Titans' players we have are all young and will improve with the more football they play but will appreciate the chance to prove themselves against a top side like Redcliffe.

"Walker scored a good try against the Young Guns and is improving each game and deserves any opportunity that comes his way."

McCarthy has kept the same side from last weekend, saying he addressed a few areas during the week and his players were 'jumping out of their skins' to play Redcliffe.

Rangy forward Selasi Berdie has been promoted to the run-on side tomorrow with McCarthy expecting big things.

"Redcliffe are equal-leaders and are the defending premiers and they put 38 points on Norths last weekend, so we will have to play above ourselves if we are to win," said McCarthy.

"We are not far away from playing some great football with lock Matt Pow being our standout performer so far this season. He has been tireless in both attack and defence.

"Our dummy-half and hooker Matt King has also been pretty consistent and came back well against the Young Guns after he received a knock in the head early last Sunday."

Redcliffe coach Anthony Griffin said they had never played an easy match at Piggabeen.

Burleigh Bears have a bye this weekend.

Lethargic Dolphins Struggle Home

MICHAEL Roberts again showed why he is widely considered the best Wizard Cup player never to get an opportunity at NRL level, steering Redcliffe to a 30-20 win against Tweed Heads.

On a day where the spotlight was on teammates Shane Perry and Nick Emmett, returning from duty with the Brisbane Broncos, Roberts was still the star that shone brightest.

Continuing his great early season form, the three-time QANTAS Player of the Year was among everything and played his hand in several attacking raids.

None was more impressive than the try to steaming winger Alwyn Simpson straight after halftime, coming from a deftly weighted Roberts kick that was plucked from the air.

That try took Redcliffe?s advantage to 24-10, enough of a buffer to survive a dogged fightback by Tweed. At the death the Seagulls trailed just 24-20 until backrower Danny Burke surged over for the Dolphins and sealed the result.

Burke was adjudged the Players? Player and was another to shade the Broncos-contracted duo of Perry and Emmett, who were solid contributors but not standouts at the Piggabeen Complex.

?I think we were a little bit flat all round?.probably didn?t show up in the best frame of mind. We did just enough to win the game and that was it,? said nonplussed Dolphins coach Anthony Griffin.

?It?s a bloody tough day. On this roadtrip you have a two hour bus trip before you even get to the ground. Tweed always plays well at home too and not many sides come away from here with the points.?

Thankful just to be hopping on the bus and heading back home, Griffin was more relieved than overjoyed at maintaining a share of the competition lead.

Tied on 12 points with the North Queensland Young Guns, the Dolphins rank second on for-and-against but have pulled clear of the Easts Tigers, who lost to Souths Logan on Saturday.

In comparison Tweed Heads has now dropped to seventh on the ladder, overtaken in one fell swoop by Aspley and Ipswich. However of the four teams tied on six points, the Seagulls do boast the best points differential.

Next week Redcliffe faces off against Wynnum Manly in Saturday?s live ABC telecast from BMD Kougari Oval. The match will form the first leg of the Herald Cup, a long-running duel between the two clubs sponsored by Quest Newspapers.

Tweed Heads has a trip to Brisbane?s Suncorp Stadium on Friday night for a 5.15pm clash against Aspley. The match will feature as the main curtain-raiser to the Brisbane Broncos v South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL clash.

Should Nat Barnes play he will equal the record of Tom Prichard for most Wizard Cup games by a Tweed Heads player.
