The Gurgler previews this weekend’s action in the Queensland Cup Round 21 or Intrust Super Cup to give it the official name.
Each week, or most most weeks we have the rundown on the week including TV Times and Live Streams, Odds, Tips, Results and the home of the unofficial PNG Hunters update.
THIS WEEK’S INTRUST SUPER CUP PREVIEW BROUGHT TO YOU BY THIS WEEK’S QUEENSLAND CUP LEGEND – MARK MEXICO
THIS WEEK’S GAMES in 25 WORDS OR LESS OR SO.
Mackay Cutters v Townsville Blackhawks @ Stadium Mackay – Kick Off – Friday 7pm
Friday Night Football? Why not. What better place than Mackay. Cutters got a rare win last weekend, while the Blackhawks thrashed Capras 74-12.
Burleigh Bears v Northern Pride @ Pizzey Park – Kick Off – Saturday 4:30pm
Pride have lost four in a row and slid out of top 6, what better time to play the all conquering leaders Burleigh.
PNG Hunters v Ipswich Jets @ National Football Stadium – Kick Off – Saturday 4pm
Two of the entertainers go head to head, Ipswich beat PNG in Queensland, but the Hunters are a much better team at home.
Souths Logan Magpies v Sunshine Coast Falcons @ Davies Park – Kick Off – Sunday 1:40pm
Feathered fight for finals finish. Not enough F’s for you? Tune in for this TV Game which should be entertaining and a key for top 6 chances.
Wynnum Seagulls v Tweed Heads Seagulls @ BMD Kougari Oval – Kick Off – Sunday 3pm
The “Flockbuster” clash of the weekend between two flocks of seagulls. Will anyone I ran so far away with this classic clash.
Redcliffe Dolphins v Norths Devils @ Dolphin Oval – Kick Off – Sunday 4pm
Redcliffe are finally delivering on a finals return and are going as good as leaders Burleigh. The Dolphins will enjoy terminating their northside rivals finals hopes with a win on Sunday.
The full preview is with our friends at Nothing But League. Catch up with it all here.
PNG HUNTERS CORNER
We catch up with how The Gurgler’s favourite sporting teams on earth are going.
The PNG Hunters handed the Tigers a first half lesson as they led 30-0 at half time with five of the best before the break all converted.
The foot came off the pedal in the second half, but two tries a piece saw the final score 38-8 and the dangerous Tigers (who were the last team to win in PNG) defeated.
Why not catch the highlights here from the QRL.
That cements their status in the top 4 sides, but there are more hard games to go with Burleigh and Townsville waiting for their chance.
The Hunters take on the Jets in PNG this weekend.
