Q-CUP Queensland Cup 2023

[1910]

Mozer turns Te Kura under in the simplest of plays and you are no chance of stopping him.

 

[1910]

Norths right side defence is putrid.

Johnson has missed 12 tackles.

 

[1910]

Great try by Piakura- great run, so determined and wrestled the ball down.

 

[1910]

Mozer 26- and 15-minute stints- so half a game I would say solid would be the word for first time starting.

 

[1910]

Big score, did Rogers warm into the game?

Yeah, Wynnum got better; Cutters were terrible they have some work to do.

 

[1910]

Smoothy 80 minutes in the middle that's a good hit out for a new club and round one.

Good to hear.

@Mr Fourex

Milford with a match-winning field goal.

 

[1910]

Milf good straight running for his try and the run two rucks before was good too- speed off the mark!

And an 80th minute field goal to win from wide too.

I'm happy the Dolphin's affiliation paid dividends. The Capras have done well in recent years to shake off that park footy reputation and go from strength to strength.

It's the one aspect of the Dolphins brand I'm a fan of. CQ needed a proper pathway and far too many players were getting chewed up and spat out in other systems. They have an opportunity now where 1-2 QCup games could be enough to earn you a Train & Trial. From there, you never know.

On the other hand, it was good to see the Seagulls make a game of it. The Titans need to stick by their juniors and build up their base. I've really rated their recruitment and while they had to bend over backwards to keep Pahulu and Kini, I'd rather that than make the same mistake and sign a Dominic Young.

Can confirm the Dolphins are active up in Bundy, no surprise really with the Kaufusi's in town, but they had a dev officer at one of the biggest local club's sign on day the other week, running activities with the kids. That's both Dolphins and Dogs being involved in Bundy now.

A far cry from 25 years ago with Wayne Bennett coming to talk at local schools, and there were a few blokes around town involved with the Broncos .

Watching Norths- Madden loves to run. it's not always the correct option but he's having a dash. Madden and Ahearn got them back in it with some nice try involvements.

Willison only got through half the game but was powerful made ground with every run.

Piakura 80 minutes, great fighting try but bad miss on Hamilton and Bears scored.

 

[1910]

Smoothy 80 minutes in the middle that's a good hit out for a new club and round one.

38 tackles but I think he looked a bit off in attack- new club and new spine at Wynnum but his service and defence was good.

 

[1910]

I love O'Ofou's enthusiasm but no attention to detail about where his run is going and if I offload here what will the result be.

That's three passes, not even offloads but passes- turn and rip your pass out to no one after a good run.

Four errors- just can't do that.

 

[1910]

Loved Mariner's exit run but a lot more selective about his runs- he didn't work hard but worked smart.

Five runs for 132m with two line breaks.

That run off his line and the footwork was tremendous like I said no way he does that 12 months ago.

So good that we have the opportunity to let him develop in Q Cup.

Loving this thread this year.
Thank you guys for the updates/info❤

Mozer 33 tackles which is pretty high for 40 minutes and first time starting. He made his tackles and handled it.
