2023 Hostplus Cup - Fixures & Results

[League Unlimited News]

For anyone looking at the teams published in the Courier Mail on Thursday for Round 1 of the HostPlus Cup, please note that the times shown are Sydney times.

How bloody disrespectful is that?

We often find that both News Corp and Channel 9 regularly use our site to copy and paste teamlists for their sites and publication (as we publish an easy format compared to the QRL official site).

We standardise times for all competitions to NSW/VIC local which for the first few weeks of the year means times are an hour out for QLD - but we do make it clear in every article.

Welp. Glad I opted to give the Dolphins Tigers game a miss today.

Clydesdales looking very very ordinary. Will be surprised if they win a game all year.

It was a real struggle to watch. I expected them to spoon this year but I thought they'd show a bit more ticker for their first game.

Surprised Gus hasn't sent one of their surplus halfs up.

Who are the surplus halfs?

Who are the surplus halfs?

Rajab & Hayward are down the pecking order and could have benefitted but injuries to Reynolds and Biondi-Odo (long-term) likely won't allow that.

I guess that pair will be their halves in Round 1 of Ron Massey Cup on saturday night.

Looks like there was a big fight in a colts trial game?

Keen for this week's feature game. Devils v Dolphins. Probably can't watch live as we are doing something for my son's birthday but will definitely watch a replay (hopefully without spoilers).

 

[ALX25]

Few close games. Good to see the Capras get a win.

 

[ALX25]

Big win for Wynnum Manly but most other games were close.

 

[ALX25]

Will the loss of Max Plath to the Dolphins derail Wynnum Manly's season?

 

[XXXX Cap]

Whilst his departure is a loss particularly in the long term, it is not an excuse for Wynnum to lose form this year. Plath didn't start in any of the four wins to date so it's not a big disruption to their "first choice" team.

It's great to see young players come through Wynnum and achieve success at the higher level. Max Plath and Harrison Graham came through the last five or so years together both in school and club football and now both have a chance of playing NRL with the Dolphins.

 

[ALX25]

Ryley Jacks loves a “back in my day” sort of story.

The veteran Brisbane Tigers playmaker has reached that point in his career where he loves to relay old football memories to his younger teammates, whether they want to hear it or not.

But as Jacks gears up to play his 100th Hostplus Cup game this Sunday – a momentous occasion for the former NRL half – he has probably earned the right to do so.

Some new faces have emerged in the race for the 2023 Petero Civoniceva Medal but Central Queensland’s Trey Browne and PNG’s Morea Morea hold strong at the top after Round 9 of the Hostplus Cup.

Fullback Morea – who has been in the lead since Round 3 – and hooker Browne sit atop of the medal tally with 11 points each.
