In a heavily congested ladder, both the Redcliffe Dolphins and Norths Devils will have a chance to climb further when they come head-to-head in Round 9 of the Hastings Deering Colts competition.

14th Western Mustangs

Struggling in this competition. The loss of their captain Jordan Crocker to the Redcliffe Dolphins will hurt. A win soon would be good for team morale.

13th Ipswich Jets

Also struggling of late in this competition. The return of Brad Zampech from the South Sydney Rabbitohs should help the side with stability in the halfs.

Hastings Deering Colts Player of the Year
There has been plenty of talent on display in this year's Hastings Deering Colts competition and there are six worthy nominees for this year's player of the year gong. They include:

Cruise Ten - Souths Logan Magpies
Ben Farr - Wynnum Manly Seagulls
Henri Stocks - Mackay Cutters
Cameron Brown - Burleigh Bears
Harrison Graham - Wynnum Manly Seagulls
Jai Smoothy - Sunshine Coast Falcons

And this year's title goes to.... Cruise Ten from Souths Logan Magpies.

Preliminary Finals
Saturday, October 2
Sunshine Coast Falcons v Townsville Blackhawks at Moreton Daily Stadium, 4pm (Broadcast: QRL.com.au, Intrust Super Cup app, QRL Facebook and Kayo Freebies)

Redcliffe Dolphins v Wynnum Manly Seagulls at Moreton Daily Stadium, 6pm (Broadcast: QRL.com.au, Intrust Super Cup app, QRL Facebook and Kayo Freebies)

 

[ALX25]

Hard-working Souths Logan Magpies forward Cruise Ten developed a handy lead over his rivals to take home this year's Hastings Deering Colts Player of the Year award.

However, there were plenty of up-and-coming talents who finished high in the final standings, including Wynnum Manly Seagulls duo Ben Farr and Harrison Graham who both made their Intrust Super Cup debuts this season.

Big win for the Blackhawks over a disappointing Falcons side.

Wynnum with a tough win against the Dolphins.

I hope the Gulls can get redemption in the Grand Final after effectively throwing away a Premiership two years ago.

Hastings Deering Colts Grand Final – Sunday, October 10
Wynnum Manly Seagulls v Townsville Blackhawks at Moreton Daily Stadium - 12.45pm

 

[ALX25]

The Wynnum Manly Seagulls and Townsville Blackhawks will go head-to-head in the biggest game of the year, with the Hastings Deering Colts crown on the line.

Grand Hagai (Wynnum Manly Seagulls) & Tyreice Baira-Gela (Townsville Blackhawks) are both likely to miss the game due to suspensions.

[ALX25]

Wynnum Manly Seagulls halfback Max Plath kicked a phenomenal field goal - the third attempt at a field goal across the park during extra time - to secure the Seagulls the 2021 Hastings Deering Colts title.
