theres no doubting that the bartercard side would go for size and probably stack the side with warriors contracted players....but i think the pace of the qld cup side would probably do over the bartercard side...just from seeing a few games from last year and what the boys back home tell me of this year, the speed of the game is still lacking compared to the qld cup and some clubs and players arent too professional in the way they go about things...tawera nikau could be a goer to coach the bartercard team too!
i agree with you stewie...the fox has improved heaps since the bartercard 1st appeared, the fox final last year wasnt too flash, but it was good to see mangere win...troy thompson the halfback for hibiscus was rats, lost it for the coast.
keep an eye out for the te atatu roosters too...they are playing in the grading round at the mo...doing alot better this year than last year, probably still end up in 2nd divison, but they would be good odds to win the 2nd div.
