2021 QRL Intrust Super Cup Discussion

[XXXX Cap]

Your colts side is tremendous as well. Hopefully see some rewarded by signing with other NRL clubs instead of the Broncos ignoring them.

You get the feeling that the Academy they set up a while back is starting to pay dividends. It hasn't seemed to matter who goes up into the Q Cup side this year, they all go pretty well.

 

[ALX25]

An outstanding player, a good person and a role model – Mitch Cronin was someone special to have at your club.

This Sunday, the two clubs that played a huge role in developing Cronin into one of the most successful players in the Intrust Super Cup will play for the Mitch Cronin Memorial Cup, to celebrate the life and legacy of one of the most popular players in the competition.

Capras end a 35 match streak without a win with by beating the Tigers at Gladstone today.

Wasn’t quite a record with Sunshine Coast apparently losing 36 consecutive games in 2013 & 2014.

 

[Hartwood]

anyone know if this round will go ahead now that qld restrictions have been lifted?

 

[Brutus]

No. It's off for another 2 weeks.

Just give Norths the Cup and be done with it.

Jack Ahern player of the year.

Just give Norths the Cup and be done with it.

They haven't beaten Wynnum! (Haven't played them due to the odd draw this year)

Would be so much better if the Scorpions were still in the Queensland Cup.

 

[Up the mighty Phins]

Footy’s back on again this weekend after a 3 week hiatus due to Covid.

3 more rounds until the finals. Norfs may be on top and almost certain to be minor premiers but there’s a few teams in contention for the premiership.

Bring it on!

 

[ALX25]

All the best in retirement to Josh Cleeland & Tyson Lofipo (Ipswich Jets) and Todd Murphy, Martin Cordwell & Dane Hogan (Sunshine Coast Falcons). I'm sure there's a few more to be listed.

 

[Brutus]

Norths need Danny Levi back in their team.

Wynnum have been boosted big time by Cobbo, Robati and Mead leading into the finals.

Souths will get a few NRL players back as well no doubt.

[Up the mighty Phins]

Well, Redcliffe survive another week after a strong second half saw them end Sunshine Coast‘s season 40-20. Still need more improvement if they want to go further in this competition.

They face the loser of tomorrow’s Norfs/Tweed semi (most likely the Seagulls).

 

[ALX25]

Tweed were hanging on but made some silly mistakes late in the game.

Leading Intrust Super Cup Try and Points Scorer
It comes as no surprise that Norths Devils flyer Jono Reuben is this year's leading try scorer - the dynamo surpassing 100 tries and counting this Intrust Super Cup season.

Retiring Sunshine Coast Falcons playmaker Todd Murphy is this year's Intrust Super Cup leading points scorer.
