Black named for his return to Kougari- like to see him combine with Inness more.

They've got such a good understanding of each other from City, school and Wynnum and now Bears.

Just have to look at the try Black put on for him last year in Meninga v Dolphins or Marsden v Ipswich last year- last Saturday don't think Black passed to him once.

 

[1910]

Black scores backing up on the inside, easy try but he was chasing the break. Bears started a bit slowly and looked sluggish.

You reckon he'll get a run in cup this year?

I wouldn't think at Bears, he will have to move again.

 

[1910]

Lots of shovelling it on and Black/Bears just going sideline to sideline. Kick gets them a try, but it wasn't inspiring.

 

[1910]

Bears kick from the scrum and go 80m- that'll wake you up down your end.

Exact same play Black and Inness used in the Meninga finals last year for Wynnum- that's got to make it hurt even more.

 

[1910]

Bukowski off after 28 minutes.

 

[1910]

Innes on the right, great run and try. He's so fast.

 

[1910]

Black not kicking goals anymore.

 

[1910]

Bukowski back on and Wynnum score twice, they need to keep him on and get his fitness up.

Darryl Van de Velde has passed away.

Trew moved to fullback for the first time since Cyril in 22.

Souths need a win and points, might spark something.

 

[1910]

Trew- nice runs,,strong on the right as fullback. Good try running hard.

Bukowski- just his standard game. Try was just right place right time six to go dived over.

Any news on the broncos player allocations for cup this year?

I saw the Q cup thread pop up and hoped that it was going to be some news on it. Cup starts this weekend so at least the main blokes will be pretty obvious come tomororw evening.

Yeah true. Would have been nice of the broncos to release it. Not sure why they wouldn't, not like it's some type of tactical advantage, they have surely decided who goes where weeks ago at the latest.

Heard a rumour Isaiya Katoa will play Cup for Norths this week.
