And it's live on the ABC 2:00 pm Saturday :-).

[Jordan]

No Dean Payne... looked like he was shot by a sniper in the crowd, but lucky for him he only did his hamstring. Had a pretty good opening nine minutes of the game too.

There was talk around town that Michael Rose was just named in the Young Guns squad. Is this true?

SOUTHS LOGAN v NORTH QLD

Brandon Park, Saturday June 3, 2.00pm *Live on ABC TV
Referee: Justin Davis

THE STORY: Souths Logan will aim to regain a place in the top five by unsettling the Young Guns, having scared the northerners in a 44-32 result earlier this year. Winger Derek Fletcher is likely to be out of the Magpies line-up due to ongoing injury woes, with Matt Templeman in the fray to replace him. Steve Southern has been replaced in the NQ side by teenage prop Greg Byrnes.

THE STAT: Four – that’s how many tries Mase Laulu Togagae scored playing back-to-back matches in Colts and FOGS Cup last week. The younger brother of Quentin makes his debut in the centres for Souths Logan.

THE STAR: The ABC televised match will feature a battle within a battle, with Young Guns halves Brett Firman and Brent McConnell in the frame to replace Johnathan Thurston, should he be called into Origin camp as expected next week.

CHANGES: SOUTHS LOGAN – In: Mase Laulu Togagae, Derek Fletcher, Cameron Joyce, Josh Griffith. Out: Christian Thompson, Matt Templeman, Josh Henaway, Dinny Kyle.
NORTH QLD – In: Jamie Frizzo, James Andersen, Greg Byrnes. Out: Dean Payne, Josh Hannay.

CHARGES: None.

Like Firman will see first again, hope the kid is biding his time, working out his little kinks, then when released come back and show up Jt and mango.

There was talk around town that Michael Rose was just named in the Young Guns squad. Is this true?
No. He's playing Foley Shield for Townsville tonight.

[walter80]

I didn't get a chance to see the game - how did McConnell and Firman go?

[Stido]

Something that concerned me in this game was the number of attempted ball & all tackles that were totally inaffective. In a one-on-one situation, standing upright, open arms, close the arms, slap the opposition player on both shoulders/upper arms, to which they then either break the tackle by bouncing off or spinning & continuing on. Not good enough!

Even in tackles by 2 or 3 players. All of them going around the upper torso & no-one taking their legs out from under them.:ponder:

[Stido]

I didn't get a chance to see the game - how did McConnell and Firman go?

I think McConnell was better than Firman in both defence & attack! Time for us to see what he can do in the top grade I think.:clap2:

[Animal]

Fat chance, more likely to see Souths win a game than anyone moving jt

[walter80]

6. McConnell
7. Thurston

?? or vice versa?

[Ramit]

I didn't get a chance to see the game - how did McConnell and Firman go?
Firmam was solid with a very good kicking game, Jockey was brilliant again.

[walter80]

Ok thanks Ramit and Stido.

[paddy]

Fat chance, more likely to see Souths win a game than anyone moving jt
boooooo why cant souths beat raiders when i want them to

[Animal]

Figure that out and you can have McRaes job

Guns Give Magpies Nasty Going Away Present

NORTH Queensland has left Souths Logan to tough out an agonising seven weeks before its next home game, having dealt the Magpies a 40-22 loss at Brandon Park on Saturday.

Maintaining an equal share of the competition lead, the Young Guns cruised through the first half to lead 30-0 at one stage and then 30-6 at the break.

With both teams seeming to prefer to score at one end of the paddock, Souths Logan fought back strongly in the second stanza to trail 30-18.

However, it was to be as close as the underdogs got, unable to match the Young Guns’ firepower across the park and cohesion in defence.

The Magpies’ fourth successive defeat threatens to turn their fairytale start to the year into a pumpkin, leaving them seventh on the ladder and vulnerable to a number of teams on the improve.

They are also at the mercy of unfavourable scheduling in the coming month-and-a-half, which sees them play just four games, all away from home.

Next week Mark Gliddon’s men face one of the toughest road trips in the competition – Tweed Heads at the Piggabeen Complex.

Then the following week they encounter the bye, followed by a televised match on June 24 against Ipswich at QLD Group Stadium. Although the Jets are last on the ladder, Souths Logan runs the risk of being without several key players due to the City v Country representative match on the same weekend.

Another weekend off will follow the Ipswich game before the black-and-whites play Central at Blackwater in Round 16; a home game that the Magpies have elected to relocate.

Round 17 has Souths Logan facing traditional rival Easts at Langlands Park, before they finally return home on July 22 against the resurgent Burleigh Bears.

While the whole competition will monitor the Magpies’ progress, there will be particular interest in teenager Mase Laulu Togagae, scorer of two tries in his Wizard Cup debut against the Young Guns.

The eye-catching efforts of the youngster came a week after he posted four tries playing back-to-back matches in the FOGS Cup and FOGS Colts Challenge.

Laulu Togagae’s display brought a neat contrast of the old and new at Brandon Park, with experienced journeyman Jason Barsley also making his mark for North Queensland with a double. Barsley has now moved to 65 career tries in the competition, ranking him 14th all-time and just one try behind Aaron Barba.

The Young Guns take on Norths at Bishop Park next Sunday in a contest where both sides will be without key players, called up to the NRL to cover for Origin representatives.

NORTH QUEENSLAND 40 (Brent McConnell 2, Mark Henry 2, Jason Barsley 2, Brett Firman, Jamie Frizzo tries; Neil Sweeney 3, Brent McConnell goals) d SOUTHS LOGAN 22 (Mase Laulu Togagae 2, Brandon Costin, Tyrone Coppedge tries; Tim Cannard 2, Brandon Costin goals) at Brandon Park.
