Q-CUP 2025 Queensland Cup Discussion

[Big Pete]

Broncos have Dolphins in sixes and sevens, Scott has an age and decides grubber only for Warradoo to race 40m upfield.

He eventually scores in the corner. Dolphins hold the pass, Bryce pushes hard from the inside but can't make the tackle and eventually the Broncos have to come up and the Dolphins simply put it through the hands.

22-14 Broncos KTC

 

[Big Pete]

Scott can't catch Carpenter from marker, Carpenter breaks the tackle of Morcom before putting Warradoo over in the corner.

Dolphins go back to back.

22-18 Broncos KTC

 

[Big Pete]

Now a try off the kick-off.

Rasmussen pops an offload in a four man tackle, Batten races away, finds Tait and he races away to score right underneath the posts.

26-22 Dolphins

 

[Big Pete]

Donald grounds the ball off a kick but is ruled off-side.

Brisbane survive after Poese made a costly error.

 

[Big Pete]

Scott goes out the back to Gundry who lofts a pass to Innes and Saxon does well to score in the corner.

26-all

Innes can't convert.

15 to go.

 

[Big Pete]

Poor last tackle from Scott, Broncos go the blind and he's wrapped up inside the Dolphins 20.

Poese spills a comfortable and Kailahi scores untouched.

32-26 Dolphins

9 to go.

 

[Big Pete]

Dolphins spill the ball on half-way and give Brisbane a shot.

They stretch them with Gundry but before the last tackle Koina is ruled to have lost it while getting to his feet.

3 to go and Brisbane have to go 90m.

 

[Big Pete]

Last set and the Broncos have to go 80.

Innes does well to pick up 20m with his first carry.

Broncos have the Dolphins stretch but Scott's pass is knocked down by the Dolphins.

Time is ticking away, Brisbane receive a scrum but Gundry goes for a speculator and that's all she wrote.

32-26 Dolphins FT.

Fair effort from the Broncos, but they'll rue their missed opportunities right after half-time. Could have easily been 28-10, instead it went 22-26 Dolphins.

 

[Big Pete]

Townsville turns it back to Dotoi who tramples over Madden finds his fullback Tovo up through the middle and the Seagulls cover defence gets him to ground. Seagulls in sixes and sevens, Hodges decides to go crash play and Stuckey scores right next to the posts.

6-0 Blackhawks.

 

[Big Pete]

Madden plays out the back to Farr, Farr double pumps and throws an intercept.

Madden races back and does well in cover.

However Blackhawks set up camp down the Seagulls redzone and score. Change of play by Campagnolo catches the Seagulls short and Dotoi scores down the corner.

10-0 Townsville KTC.

 

[Big Pete]

Blackhawks make half a break, spill the ball but it's ruled a strip.

They set up camp inside the Seagulls red-zone and in the end Stuckey puts Latu over with a short pass.

16-0 Blackhawks.

25 gone.

 

[1910]

Madden scores backing up the middle with Bukowksi making the break.

 

[1910]

Townsville just too good and Wynnum can't stop them at all. From 16-0 it could have been ugly that's a positive and Delouise's flick pass.

Rogers gets the points over Madden today, Rogers got the Bears home with goal kicking and general play kicking. Combines with Hamiliton well and they both attack together not getting in each other's way- that's going to be important if he's the Broncos' six.

 

[1910]

After all that, Verhoeven has been pulled from the game.

Morcom into the centres.

Schoolboys #7 Batten in action for the Phins.

They're being cautious with him, he played Tuesday night. He played 11 Meninga games but since then only three games for PBC and two games for Broncos.

 

[1910]

Last set and the Broncos have to go 80.

Innes does well to pick up 20m with his first carry.

Broncos have the Dolphins stretch but Scott's pass is knocked down by the Dolphins.

Time is ticking away, Brisbane receive a scrum but Gundry goes for a speculator and that's all she wrote.

32-26 Dolphins FT.

Fair effort from the Broncos, but they'll rue their missed opportunities right after half-time. Could have easily been 28-10, instead it went 22-26 Dolphins.

I think that's their best effort and their most physical but, in the end, just weren't smart enough.

Inness needs as much football as possible. So, he's exposed to as much as possible. West out today, Sami got stretched off and Bears could lose Arthars or Karapani. So a chance might present itself for a few Broncos' outside backs.

 

[1910]

Massive day for Souths, won two in a row and a big chance to go three against Cutters.

In 10th on 19 points, four points outside the eight. If they won and Hunters and Tigers lost today, they are a chance to make the eight.

Smoothy at 9 will be looking for a big game, if Black can take some initiative and get Souths to the finals that's a huge tick.

Souths have Cutters, Hunters, Bye and Ipswich to finish so a chance to win three games if they can find some control in defence.

 

[1910]

Souths d/f is better than 9th and 8th place! Just win.

 

[1910]

The Bai-Monster crashes over again.

Five tries in six Cup games. Te Kura had two after six games.
