Queensland Rugby League 2009

Queensland Cup Preview - Round 1

THE opening round of the highly-anticipated Queensland Cup season kicks off on Saturday.

TWEED HEADS V NORTHERN PRIDE
Saturday, March 14 @ Cudgen Oval 2pm (Qld time)

Referee: Clayton Sharpe

Tweed Heads will field arguably the most electrifying backline in the competition when it meets the Northern Pride in the ABC match of the round. The Seagulls have named 2007 grand final hero Shannon Walker at fullback for the round one clash. Throw in fellow speedsters Ben Jeffery, David Mead, David Wood and Brenton Bowen, and the Seagulls have an abundance of talent outwide. Steering the ship is the proven halves combination of Brad Davis and Tim Maccan. Likewise, the Northern Pride has named a powerful line-up. Inspirational halfback Chris Sheppard and tough back-rower Joel Riethmuller are back on board after missing the end of the Pride?s 2008 campaign through injury.

SUNSHINE COAST V REDCLIFFE
Saturday, March 14 @ Stockland Park 2pm

Referee: Nick Kalpakidis

The Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles face a massive challenge in their debut Queensland Cup match, with an opening round assignment against the competition?s most successful club awaiting them. But the emotion of playing in the club?s opening clash could just spur the Sea Eagles on to the upset win they crave. The Sunshine Coast has named Manly enforcer George Rose in its line-up. The competition newcomers will also unveil a host of new recruits, including speedy outside back Michael Chapman. Having lost a stack of experience in the off-season, the Dolphins will build their play around forward mainstays Danny Burke and Derrick Watkins.

EASTS V NORTHS

Saturday, March 14 @ Langlands Park 2pm

Referee: Michael Inman ABC TV GAME

EASTS will unveil their star-studded forward pack in this intriguing clash against the Norths Devils. In a show of strength, the Tigers have named former Roosters prop Charlie Tonga in the second-row for the Langlands Park blockbuster. Recruits Isaak Ah Mau and Ben Vaeau form a potent front-row combination. Fellow recruits Ryan Cullen, Rickie Dodd and Alby Talipau will also be on show for the Tigers in a revamped backline. Norths have named a classy line-up, with Broncos players Ashton Sims, Josh McGuire and Ben Hunt in the starting side. Hunt, a star for the Broncos in last year?s Toyota Cup, holds the key for the Devils.

IPSWICH V MACKAY
Saturday, March 14 @ Briggs Road 5pm

Referee: Robert Gallacher

Ipswich has named just four players ? Troy O?Sullivan, Brendon Marshall, Scott Ireland and Ian Lacey ? from its 2008 grand final side. With skipper Danny Coburn and mainstays Michael Ryan and Matt McPhee ruled out through injury, the pressure will be on Ipswich?s new recruits to shine in the opening round clash against the Cutters. Ipswich has been boosted by the inclusion of Titans flyer Chris Walker. The Cutters have been propped up by the NQ Cowboys, who will provide the likes of Donald Malone, Mitchell Achurch and Dayne Weston. Home town favourite Jardine Bobongie will also debut for the Cutters.

CENTRAL COMETS V SOUTHS LOGAN
Saturday, March 14 @ Browne Park 7pm

Referee: Justin Davis

Souths Logan faces a major test in its first Queensland Cup match since its stunning grand final victory last year. The Magpies have drawn the Central Comets at Rockhampton?s Browne Park, a venue which is never kind to visiting teams. But Magpies coach Paul Bramley has no shortage of firepower to call upon. His team includes a host of impressive young talent from the Canberra Raiders system as well as proven Queensland Cup performers Shea Moylan, Phil Dennis, Lewis Balcomb and Josh White. The Comets will showcase recruits Aaron Summers, Alan Rothery and Ian Webster in a formidable forward pack, which should create plenty of space for Nat Bowman and Karl Johnson to weave their magic on the edges.

WYNNUM MANLY V BURLEIGH
Sunday, March 15 @ BMD Kougari Oval 3pm

Referee: Shane Spicer

The only Sunday match of the round brings together two teams with big points to prove in 2009. Wynnum Manly is determined to go a few steps further after being knocked out of the opening week of the 2008 play-offs, while the new-look Burleigh Bears are keen to return from the semi-final wilderness. Burleigh has included emerging Bronco Aaron Sweeney in its 17 along with impressive recruits Daniel Isaac, Tanu Wulf, Matt Pow and Kaine Manihera. Such is the depth in the Burleigh ranks, the Bears could find no room in their top side for former premiership-winning Tweed prop Chris Enahoro. The Seagulls have some new faces in the backline, but the forward mainstays from last year ? Adam Brideson, Darren Bain, Luke Dalziel Don, Chris Muckert, John Te Reo and Jason Williams ? have all returned to anchor Wynnum?s campaign. With Matt Seamark serving a carry over suspension from last year, Ben Green is the new No. 7.

Norths are thrashing Easts on the ABC as we speak.

2009 QUEENSLAND CUP ROUND 2 - MATCH PREVIEWS

NORTHS v SUNSHINE COAST
Saturday, March 21 @ Bishop Park 2pm
* Live On ABC TV
Queensland Cup newcomers, the Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles, make their debut in front of the ABC television cameras in this Bishop Park blockbuster. The Sea Eagles are coming off an historic opening round victory over Redcliffe, while the Devils are also in great touch after a 40-14 thumping of Easts. The battle between the opposite halfbacks should be a beauty. Both Ben Hunt (Norths) and Trent Hodkinson (Sunshine Coast) are understudies at their respective NRL clubs. Along with directing the on-field play, Hunt and Hodkinson will assume the goal-kicking duties for their teams. Hunt scored a try and kicked six goals against Easts, while Hodkinson - handpicked to be Matt Orford's back up at Manly - landed two goals in the Sunshine Coast's 24-18 win.

IPSWICH v NORTHERN PRIDE
Saturday, March 21 @ Briggs Road 2pm
Both sides were outplayed in round one and there is little doubt rival coaches Glenn Lazarus (Jets) and Andrew Dunemann (Pride) will be demanding improved performances. Ipswich was its own worst enemy last weekend, spilling possession on countless occasions. The Pride was also off its game, but Dunemann's charges did have a disrupted preparation. The Cairns outfit looks more settled this week, with big guns Chey Bird, Joel Riethmuller and Mark Cantoni returning from injury or illness. The Jets have named Chris Walker as Troy O'Sullivan's replacement at fullback. Walker started on the wing last week but switched to fullback when Troy O'Sullivan limped from the field with a hamstring tear that is expected to sideline him for a month. Brendon Marshall, a late withdrawal last week, comes into the starting side.

SOUTHS LOGAN v TWEED HEADS
Saturday, March 21 @ Meakin Park 3pm
INJURIES to Brad Davis (ribs) and David Mead (ankle) have forced Tweed coach Steve Anderson to reshuffle his backline for the clash with the Magpies. Former Titans Under 20 players Cameron White and Cody Nelson are the new additions. Nelson takes over from Davis at five-eighth, while White slots on to the wing in a move which pushes Ben Jeffery into the centres. Davis' withdrawal is a huge loss for the inexperienced Seagulls. But the Seagulls do have momentum on their side, with last weekend's 30-20 victory over the Northern Pride providing a great launching pad for the rest of the season. Souths Logan has named off-season recruits Ryan Tongia and Denny Lambert in its side for the Meakin Park clash.

MACKAY v EASTS
Saturday, March 21 @ Mackay Juniors 7pm
EASTS coach Darren Smith has resisted the temptation to make major changes, despite a lacklustre display against Norths. The Tigers should come out breathing fire, but they'll run into a committed Mackay outfit. There was a lot to like about the Cutters' 18-10 victory over Ipswich last weekend. With halfback Grant Rovelli included on an extended North Queensland Cowboys bench, Cutters coach Shane Muspratt has named Todd Seymour in the No. 7 jumper. Rovelli, a standout against the Jets in round one, may yet return to the Mackay line-up. But this match is likely to be a battle of the forwards. The Tigers have a massive forward pack, but they'll have to muscle up when giant Cutters prop Quinton Fielder is injected into the game. Fielder made a huge impact off the bench last week, scoring a try and breaking the line with some strong surges.

WYNNUM MANLY v CENTRAL COMETS
Saturday, March 21 @ BMD Kougari Oval 7pm
A FEW years ago the prospect of a Central Comets team arriving at BMD Kougari Oval as warm favourites would have been almost unthinkable. But following the unpredictable opening round, the Central Comets could in fact be favoured by most punters leading into this round two clash. The Comets are coming off a spirited 27-20 victory over heavyweights Souths Logan, while the Seagulls appear vulnerable after a costly loss to Burleigh. Wynnum Manly's injury woes worsened this week, with Chris Currie now likely to join the likes of Will Scanlan, Darren Bain, Mitchell Dodds and David Seage on the sidelines.

BURLEIGH v REDCLIFFE
Sunday, March 22 @ Pizzey Park 3pm
TOUGH back-rower Danny Burke plays his 200th Queensland Cup game for the Dolphins. Burke would love nothing more than to leave Pizzey Park with a victory, but it won't be an easy task. Burleigh is riding high after a solid 28-6 victory over Wynnum Manly and will be keen to impress in front of their home fans for the first time this season. Bears winger Kaine Manihera, a try-scorer on debut for Burleigh last weekend, lines up against his former club for the first time. The Bears are running a Family Fun Day promotion at Sunday's match.

ROUND 1 RESULTS - Mar 14-15
Sat: Easts Tigers 14 l. Norths Devils 40

How dumb was that move by Ian Donnelly to stand on a Magpies player when he stood up to play the ball. I think he could be in a bit of trouble.

It was not a hard or viscious stomp but it was totally intentional. I have no idea what he was thinking. I reckon he may get 2 weeks to think about it though.

[dee13]

Went down to Pizzey Park on the weekend and watched Burleigh Bears grind out a great win against QLD Cup leaders Norths Devils 28-14.

A former Titans squad combo of Nick Parfitt making a great break and passing to Joel Rapana for a runanway try broke the back of the Devils in the second half.

It also helped silence the female moron Devils fan who had obviously learned a few sayings by listening to other moronic Devils/Boncos fans and had no grasp of any of the rules of the game. I wouldn't have minded if she knew the rules but to biasly scream and shout at every tackle made, was an embarrasment to Devils fans, players and officials. Can't wait to run into her again at the Tweed game where I will have a Tweed fan and educated footy fans point of view to throw back at her.

Round 5 Queensland Cup Preview

THE Burleigh Bears play the Northern Pride at Pizzey Park in Saturday's ABC TV match.

BURLEIGH v NORTHERN PRIDE
Saturday, April 11 @ Pizzey Park 2pm* Live On ABC TV

THE Burleigh Bears will don unique pink jerseys for the ABC TV match-of-the-round. The ?Pink Day Out? promotion aims to raise vital funding and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. The match itself should be a ripper, with the Bears hunting for a third-straight victory and the Pride eager to hit back after a disappointing last-start loss to the Sunshine Coast. Key Pride halfback Chris Sheppard (hamstring) is unlikely to make the trip to Burleigh. The Cairns outfit lacked direction last weekend without the former Cowboys playmaker. With back up halfback Luke Milwood also out injured, Pride coach Andrew Dunemann has named regular fullback Chey Bird in the No. 7 jersey. Burleigh fullback Nick Parfitt needs just 11 points to overtake Reggie Cressbrook and become the second highest points scorer in Queensland Cup history.

SUNSHINE COAST v SOUTHS LOGAN
Saturday, April 11 @ Stockland Park 2pm

THE Sunshine Coast returns to Stockland Park full of confidence following its tenacious 16-14 victory over the Northern Pride. Souths Logan is also riding high after completing a hat-trick of wins last weekend. As feeder clubs to their respective NRL teams, both sides won?t fully settle on their teams and key combinations until match eve. Sunshine Coast skipper Cameron Joyce plays his first match for the Sea Eagles against the Magpies, one of his former clubs. Joyce played 72 Queensland Cup games for Souths Logan between 2004 and 2007. Joyce spent the 2008 season with the Wynnum Manly Seagulls. However, the classy rake is thoroughly enjoying his time with the Sea Eagles and he?ll be even happier if his team records a third win from five starts with a victory over the defending premiers.

EASTS TIGERS v TWEED HEADS
Saturday, April 11 @ Langlands Park 3pm

WADE Liddell chalks up his 150th Queensland Cup game for the Easts Tigers in the round five clash at Langlands Park. The match caps off a huge few weeks for the Scotland international, whose partner Rachel gave birth to their first child on April 1. Liddell?s team is yet to open its account in season 2009 but there were some encouraging signs in the second half of last weekend?s 32-24 loss to Souths Logan. Tweed?s campaign is starting to gather momentum after a strong 32-20 victory over the Jets at Cudgen last Sunday. The Tigers will have to be on high alert whenever Tweed fullback Shannon Walker gets the ball in hand. Walker scored a stunning hat-trick against Ipswich.

IPSWICH v CENTRAL COMETS
Saturday, April 11 @ Briggs Road 5pm

WITH 14 wins and a draw from 23 previous Queensland Cup encounters, the Jets hold the ascendancy in the head to head stakes. However, the Comets enter the Briggs Road clash as the hot fancies after winning their third match from four starts last weekend. In contrast, the Jets are yet to sing their victory song and a fifth-straight defeat would virtually kill off their semi-final ambitions. The Jets have lacked stability in the key halves and hooking roles this year, with a number of injury setbacks forcing coach Glenn Lazarus to chop and change. Jackson Nicolau is set to partner Jeremy Golf in the halves for this game. Ian Lacey takes control of the dummy-half role in the absence of the injured Michael Ryan. The Comets have no shortage of attacking options, with Nat Bowman, PJ Marsh and Tom Hewitt filling key positions.

WYNNUM MANLY v MACKAY
Sunday, April 12 @ BMD Kougari Oval 2pm

MACKAY arrives at BMD Kougari Oval on Sunday searching for its first victory over the Seagulls. Wynnum won both outings against Mackay last year but the Cutters of 2009 loom as a much tougher proposition. The Cutters have won three out of their opening four matches, while the Seagulls have just one win to show from their first month?s work. Wynnum Manly?s preparations have again been hit hard by injury, with Will Scanlan and Angus Martin the two major casualties from the Seagulls? 24-12 loss to the Norths Devils last weekend. The Cutters will be without star centre Donald Malone, who could miss up to a month of football with a knee injury in a major blow to his NRL aspirations.


NORTHS DEVILS v REDCLIFFE
Sunday, April 12 @ Bishop Park 3pm

VETERAN forward Danny Burke returns to the Redcliffe line-up after serving a one match suspension for a high tackle. The tough forward?s return is a welcome boost for a Dolphins outfit that leaked 34 points in an uncharacteristic display against the Central Comets last Sunday. The Dolphins were outplayed all over the park last weekend but it?s hard to imagine the proud club playing so poorly two weeks in a row. In fact, Norths CEO Mark Murray believes the round five clash will be the Devils? biggest test of the season. Norths sit on top of the Queensland Cup table after recording a hard-fought 24-12 win over Wynnum last weekend. Norths have named Broncos players Jharal Yow Yeh and Ashton Sims in their starting team.

VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE!!!!

Tomorrow the Burleigh Bears will be swapping their traditional maroon jerseys for pink in support of Breast Cancer. I will be at this game again tomorrow as I was last year. Its a great day out and a very worthy cause.

After the game, the club will be auctioning off the 17 player jerseys after the game to raise money for the cause. So if you have a spare couple of dollars and want a great piece of memorabillia, come on down to Pizzey Park for the Colt, Fogs and QLD Cup games.

[dee13]

Great win by the Burleigh Bears on Saturday in a rain effected PINK day out. Burleigh ran out winners over the Cowboys feeder club 30 - 10.

The players and fans went back to the clubhouse afterwards and managed to raise $13,000 by auctioning off the 17 pink players jerseys. Some of these jerseys, IMO, were a steal at $300 with Nick Parfitts jersey the highest, selling for $650. Well done to the former Gold Coast Chargers player Adrian Vowels and his Burleigh Bears.

Just watched an amazing game between the Burliegh Broncos and Sunshine Coast on ABC. Burliegh were up 20 odd, Sunshine Coast came back 2 points down. I missed the last few minutes, looked like Sunshine Coast got up then Burliegh scored and won the game.

Amazing game.

SUNSHINE Coast skipper Cameron Joyce is on track to make a surprise return from a broken hand in the Sea Eagles? clash with Burleigh. Joyce has not been named, but the Sea Eagles camp is confident their inspiration captain will get the all clear to tackle the Bears in the ABC TV game. It?s a crunch match for both sides after forgettable results in round eight. The Sunshine Coast let a huge leap slip against the Comets, who finished with a late flurry of tries to down the Sea Eagles 34-32. An ordinary Burleigh outfit could only manage one try in their shock 18-4 loss to bottom-placed Easts. The Bears are still well placed for a shot at finals football but their form over the last two weeks remains a major concern for coach Jimmy Lenihan. Burleigh enters Saturday?s match without try-scoring whiz Adam Fielder. Fielder, who is recovering from an ankle injury, is expected to be back on the park next week.

EASTS v WYNNUM MANLY
Saturday, May 16 @ Langlands Park 3pm

*Live on Bay-FM 100.3

WYNNUM Manly forward Lachlan Morgan makes his 50th Queensland Cup appearance in a match that suddenly has a whole new feel to it. Last-start wins have reinvigorated the Tigers? and Seagulls? campaigns. However, both sides still have considerable ground to make up on the competition leaders. Easts have the most work to do, having won only two of their opening nine games. But the Tigers gave their long-suffering fans a glimmer of hope last weekend when they produced a gritty 80 minute performance to beat Burleigh. Wynnum Manly was also tenacious last week, outplaying an in-form Ipswich side 24-8 to secure back-to-back wins. A third win in as many weeks would place the Seagulls right back in the mix. In the head to head stakes between the two traditional rivals, Easts hold the edge with 14 wins to Wynnum?s 10. One match has been drawn.

IPSWICH v REDCLIFFE
Saturday, May 16 @ North Ipswich Reserve 6.30pm

THE Jets venture back to the traditional home of rugby league in Ipswich when they take on the Redcliffe Dolphins at the North Ipswich Reserve. The match will be played before the Legends of League game and a big crowd is expected to be on hand to watch the round nine clash. It?s a must-win game for the Jets, who are two wins outside the top six after their loss to Wynnum last week. Sam Tagataese has again been named on the Ipswich bench. The former Melbourne Storm utility was rusty last weekend in his first game back from injury and Jets coach Glenn Lazarus will be looking for the star Titan to make a greater impact. Ipswich has enjoyed a great run of success against the Dolphins in recent seasons. However, Redcliffe still holds a considerable advantage in the head to head battle, having won 20 of the 27 previous matches.

MACKAY v SOUTHS LOGAN
Saturday, May 16 @ Mackay Juniors 7pm

SOUTHS Logan?s Canberra contingent returns to the Magpies? line-up for Saturday?s clash in Mackay. The Magpies caught many Queensland Cup fans off guard last weekend when they took the field against Norths without their regulars from the Raiders who were given the week off by Canberra head coach Don Furner. Having surrendered top spot following the loss to Norths, the refreshed Magpies should come out firing against the Cutters. Mackay?s campaign has hit a bumpy spot, with last week?s loss to the Northern Pride their fourth in succession. The Cutters have never lost five Queensland Cup games in a row, but that unwanted record will be theirs unless they improve drastically on Saturday night. Coach Shane Muspratt concedes his team has been guilty of playing ?dumb? football. Mackay hooker Roy Baira faces the judiciary tonight after being placed on report for a high tackle last week.

CENTRAL COMETS v PRIDE
Saturday, May 16 @ Browne Park 7pm

A HUGE crowd is tipped to watch one of the biggest matches of the Queensland Cup season to date when two of the competition?s in-form teams collide at Rockhampton?s Browne Park. The Comets enter the match in top spot, while the Pride is nicely placed in third after a string of strong victories. Tom Humble returns to the starting five-eighth role for the Pride in the absence of the injured Luke Millwood. Exciting speedster Gordon Rattler is the new man on the interchange bench. Rattler impressed coach Andrew Dunemann while playing for Mareeba in the Cairns and District competition last weekend. Star Comet Nat Bowman plays his 50th match for the club. Bowman, the competition?s leading points scorer, has also played 15 matches for the North Queensland Young Guns.

TWEED HEADS v NORTHS DEVILS
Sunday, May 17 @ Cudgen Oval 3pm

TWEED supporters will be hoping for a change of luck when the Seagulls host the Norths Devils in the only Sunday match of the round. Tweed conceded a number of tries from kicks in their 42-32 loss to Redcliffe at Dolphin Oval last weekend. The Seagulls have not win since round six when they beat the Sunshine Coast 28-12. Having now slipped four points adrift of sixth-placed Burleigh, a win over the Devils is crucial to the finals ambitions of Steve Anderson?s side. Norths are well placed on the Queensland Cup ladder after their 26-20 victory over Souths Logan last weekend. Former Panthers Colts playmaker Asher Elemani scored two tries for the Devils to take out the club?s player of the match award. His strong form is great news for the Devils given that star half Ben Hunt is now playing with the Broncos in the Toyota Cup.
