The ?Coaltrain? might have moved on, but this clash between two of the form teams of the competition still has plenty of appeal. Tweed notched their third win of the season last week on the back of a powerful performance from Titan Dave Taylor. On Saturday night, the Seagulls get the chance to prove they can win without Taylor. The fact the Tweed have already travelled north this year to beat a genuine premiership contender without him suggests Aaron Zimmerle?s team can do it again on Saturday. But it will certainly be a massive challenge for the Seagulls, who are running into a Mackay team high on confidence following wins over Easts, Redcliffe and Norths. The Tweed have named new faces Josh Harvey and Sam Ross on their bench, while the Cutters have brought in Alex Elisala after the young hooker made his debut for Samoa in last week?s Test against Tonga. The Cutters have struggled against the Tweed in recent times, with their only win coming back in 2008. Mackay fullback Liam Taylor requires two more goals to bring up 100 in the Cup and two more points to reach 250.

QRL Media tips: Mackay Cutters by 4. The Cutters are the talk of Mackay at the moment and another big home crowd will pack the stands at Virgin Australia Stadium. They might just be too strong at home.

Hope Josh Harvey has a good game, its his first in Qcup.
He is my daughters boyfriend for those wondering.
