Intrust Super Cup 2015 Predictions

[hellteam]

Round 1 teams were released yesterday and I've got to say I've never seen so many quality players in this comp. It really is going from strength to strength and there looks to be a lot of contenders this year.

Easts now have Qld residents 5/8 Shaun Nona, and again look a strong outfit. I think it may be third time lucky for them this year. A lot will depend on whether they can keep Munster and Nona, I wouldn't be surprised for either to see quite a bit of NRL this year. They've also lost some quality players to the Sunny Coast, who have a good side and will make their way up the ladder this year.

Seems to me like the Cowboys, Storm and Broncos have spread their players far more evenly across the teams than previous years. It's good to see.

Darkhorse for me would have to be Ipswich. They may not have the big names but they have kept pretty much their entire squad from last year, when they were close to knocking off Wynnum at home in the finals. Always the most entertaining team to watch, they will be quietly confident this year.

Premiers: Easts
Wooden Spoon: Mackay
Top 5: Easts, Pride, Wynnum, Ipswich, Townsville
Player of the Season: Matt Parcell
Biggest Improvers: Sunny Coast
Biggest Drop: Tweed
Darkhorse: Ipswich

[The Partisan]

Nice little 'kick-off' to the season Hellsy !

Certainly agree with your sentiments regarding the competition going from strength to strength.

Stealing your template my predictions are:


Premiers: Northern Pride to eke out another premiership against Easts
Wooden Spoon: Townsville ( Brave beginning but not quite up to it)
Top 5: Pride, Easts,Wynnum,Ipswich, Sunny Coast
Player of the Season: Marmin Barba
Biggest Improvers: Sunny Coast
Biggest Drop: PNG Hunters (2nd season syndrome)
Darkhorse: Ipswich

 

[hellteam]

You could be right about PNG dropping, they have 9 debutantes in their team this week.

Sunny Coast are definitely underrated, paying around $2.35 at home against Norths this week..

Round 1 Results

1. Ipswich Jets 16 Wynnum Manly Seaguls 18

2. Townsville & Districts Blackhawks 30 Mackay Cutters 16

[expansionist]

Bummer missed this before the weekend!

Again stealing your template:

Premiers: Wynnum
Wooden Spoon: CQ.. really hard one to pick
Top 5: Easts, Pride, Wynnum, Ipswich, PNG to sneak in
Player of the Season: ..ask me again in 2 months time
Biggest Improvers: Sunny Coast & PNG (maybe hopeful thinking there)
Biggest Drop: Souths.. dont really know why
Darkhorse: Ipswich - just crazy enough to do anyone on their day

 

[hellteam]

Maybe an Admin could change the title of this thread and make it into a general Intrust Super Cup forum that can continue through the year? Not sure how to do that

Points ladder after round 1

 

[Up the mighty Phins]

Thought I'd throw my predictions here as well.

Premiers: Wynnum-Manly
Wooden Spoon: Capras
Top 5: Wynnum-Manly, Easts, Townsville, Ipswich, Tweed
Player of the Season: Cameron Munster
Biggest Improvers: Sunny Coast
Biggest Drop: Pride
Darkhorse: Tweed

As for my team Redcliffe, mid table is my prediction. Hopefully, they'll do better than that but there's so many good sides in the comp this year. It's good to have Sundays off finally so I will able watch many more games than I have the previous 7 years.

Tweed Heads Seagulls v Norths Devils at Piggabeen Sports on Sunday, March 22 - 1.40pm


A Norths Devils win today will see them as the only undefeated side so far.

 

[hellteam]

That's a massive upset by Mackay

 

[XXXX Cap]

Not totally a surprise for Wynnum supporters. Mackay had beaten Wynnum in their previous four meetings in 2013 and 2014. They seem to be the Gulls' bogey team.

Last night was much like last year's game at Kougari - Wynnum dominated the first half but didn't have that many points to show for it, leading 10-0 at half time. The Mackay defence frustrated Wynnum in the second half, they just couldn't get over in the first 10 minutes of the half when they had a lot of ball near the Mackay line.

Once Mackay scored themselves, Wynnum had no answer and were poor for the last 30 minutes. Possibly the effect of a very hard game in the heat last week against Easts but also having a 5/8 who won't run to the line doesn't help.

Deserved win to Mackay based on great defence.
