Steve Turner was another player at OP on Sunday, but he was suited up rather than in Storm gear. ;-)

Major Preliminary Semi-Final (Loser to Minor Semi-Final; Winner to Major Semi-Final)
Norths Devils v Easts Tigers
Sun August 29, Bishop Park, 3:00pm

Norths: Quentin Laulu-Togagae, Chad Leach, Marc Brentnall, Jake Webster, Derek Fletcher, Brent Mulholland, Andrew McFadden, Robert Tanielu, Marty Turner, Pat Gardner, Anthony Boyd, Aaron Bulow, Andrew Hamilton (c). Int: Trent Henrick, Nathan Turner, Antonio Kaufusi

Easts: Jason Barsley, Steve Beattie, Steve Renouf, Wade Liddell, Michael Pearce, Isaac Kaufmann, Dane Campbell, Scott Sipple, Trent Young, Scott Alo, Darren Smith (c), Matt Lockyer, Dallas McIlwain. Int: Charlie Tonga, Leigh Coghill, Trevor Exton, Paul Dezolt

Referee: Michael Inman

Head to Head: Played 19, Easts 10, Drawn 1, Norths 8
Encounters this Year: 24-all at Langlands Park, Norths 42 d Easts 32 at Bishop Park

Prediction: Easts by 4. The winner of this clash will face Burleigh at Pizzey Park the following weekend for the chance of a spot in the grand final. All will be not lost for the loser of this match, as they will face the winner of the Toowoomba-Wynnum match at home in an elimination semi final.
Given that these two teams fought out a draw at Langlands Park a few weeks ago, this should be another hard-fought encounter with a more at stake. The Devils got the better of the Tigers the last time the two clashed at this venue.

Norths have done very well to finish second considering they haven’t fielded their strongest team on the park at any stage of the season. Led capably by old hands like Andrew Hamilton and Andrew McFadden, the youth of the Devils have certainly stood up to be counted so far. The test will come though in the semi finals and it starts up against a very strong opponent.

Easts have certainly improved tenfold from last year’s disappointing season and are one of the favourites to take out this year’s premiership. The additions of Darren Smith and the likes of Dane Campbell and Isaac Kaufmann (both who struggled to break into the top grade of their previous clubs) and, to a lesser extent, Steve Renouf have paid dividends for the Tigers. They are the best attacking team in the competition and can defend capably at times although they would be keen to improve even more in this area.

Should be an enthralling contest and I slightly lean towards Easts because of their stronger team on paper. Certainly well worth the time and effort to get out to Bishop Park on Sunday to watch this game live.

The winner of this game plays Burleigh for a spot in the the GF. Cmon Norths

 

[stormboy]

Norths will win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[oxenham]

In the Qld Cup Norths have gone down 35-18 to the Easts Tigers and will play Wynum next week in a knock out semi. Norths lead 18-10 at halftime.
In reserve grade Norths lost 22-18 to Redcliffe and are now eliminated from the competition. Redcliffe lead 10-6 at halftime while Norths had Trent Henricks sent off.
All in all not a good day at Bishop :x

Do Or Die For The Devils

Minor Semi-Final (Loser eliminated; Winner to Preliminary Final)
Norths Devils v Wynnum Seagulls
Sun September 5, Bishop Park, 3:00pm

Norths: Greg Inglis, Chad Leach, Marc Brentnall, Jake Webster, Derek Fletcher, Brent Mulholland, Andrew McFadden, Robert Tanielu, Marty Turner, Pat Gardner, Anthony Boyd, Aaron Bulow, Andrew Hamilton (c). Int: Quentin Laulu-Togagae, Nathan Turner, Antonio Kaufusi, Jeremy Smith

Referee: Justin Eastwood

Head to Head: Played 16, Norths 8, Drawn 2, Wynnum 6
Encounters this Year: Wynnum 34 d Norths 32 at Kougari Oval, Norths 40 d Wynnum 14 at Bishop Park

Prediction: Norths by 6. This will be the final match of the season for one team and other remains in the hunt for the premiership. You could say both teams were not at their best last week with Wynnum were extremely lucky to get out of jail against Toowoomba while the Devils fumbled and bumbled their way to a loss to Easts. But, both get another chance to put their title credentials forward with the winner moving into the preliminary final to face either Burleigh or Easts.

A focus on ball control will be the key for both teams in winning this game. Norths frittered away vital possession against Easts and virtually gave themselves no chance of winning the game. Meanwhile, the Seagulls, who looked dangerous when they had the ball, completed only around 50-60 % of their sets against the Clydesdales. Wynnum will also have to improve their defence that was lacking several times against Toowoomba because the Devils are a strong attacking team.

I tip Norths to get up to here and progress to the preliminary final

Winner Plays either Burleigh or Easts, loser is goooooooorne.

 

[Craig]

Now of course that they are out, who was Norths best and worst this season?

 

[oxenham]

Norths Devils have won the 2004 Colts grand final 48-6 against Easts and the U16 grand final today at Suncorp Stadium This shows that we have excellent juniors comig through and will be a Roosters/Bulldogs force in a few years in the NRL and a premier in the Qld Cup

In other results, in Reserve Grade Easts beat Burleigh 21-20 after a conversion attempt by Burleigh hit the post and bounced away, which would have won it. In the Qld Cup it was the 2nd best match I have deadset ever seen (including NRL, well except for the 1999 NRL Final ) Burleigh V Easts. Burleigh scored 2 early to make it 12-0 after only 15 minutes. Easts hit back to make it 12-6 but Burleigh scored before halftime to make it 16-6 at halftime. 16-12, 18-12. Then with only about 20 seconds remaining 50m out Easts did a chip Steve Beattie raced onto it to score near the sideline and a conversion from near the sideline sent it into golden point. There were many highlights in the that period including missed field goals, charged down field goals and knock ons. But after a short ball in the 96th minute Shane O'Flanagan went over for Burleigh to win it for the Bears 22-18. Great match. Pity Norths weren'r in it

 

[Earl]

Chad Leach and Derek Fletcher are the 2 wingers for the PNG Kumuls against the Roo's tonight.

Half time: Redcliffe 28-12 ???

[oxenham]

Inglis is getting bigger and bigger wraps with each game.I saw him play in Rocky and he is one of those rare players who seems to have plenty of time doing things coupled with explosive speed.
I don't know where he fits in the storm backline but I suspect room will be made for him.He is a fullback but interestingly he played centre for Norths on the weekend.

 

[ortz18]

I say shift keep inglis at norths this yr, then shift him to the centres next yr and put king back on the wing in place of a retired geyer. I also think jamie mcdonald needs to come onto the bench in place of turner, he adds size and will help out the older forwards such as kearns and chan. Turner is useless.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Inglis and QLT often switch positions (center/fullback/wing) in various games.

Inglis should come on to replace Slater this year when he's out on Origin duty. Leave King on left center next year, pair him with Jake Webster while Turner takes on right wing with Bell. QLT to backup.
