Geez this Young Guns side continues to impress. They have wholloped every side so far this season and show no sign of slowing down, even when they chop and change the halves combo unlike first grade...

[Ramit]

They have wholloped every side so far this season.

[#CowboyDavid]

How did Brady Payne & McConnell go Beave?

[RHINO]

how often does both props and the interchange prop get tries each? unless coghill was in the backrow

[beave]

brady was quiet but lets face it, he is a year out of highschool and being a small guy, it is always going to be hard for him, but he did make some good passes and he did score a good try and he kicked a few times, i was sitting low near the athletic track, so i didn't have a real good vantage point but yeah he did alright. Brent, played alright as well, he isn't a bad goal kicker as well, but the foundation was definetly laid by Tanielu and Ca$hmere, they were 2 steps above the Tweed forwards and you can tell they got firsts in them, coghill played well too. I was most impressed with Henry though, was good to see a fullback hit it at speed (someone take note *cough* bowen *cough*)

Match Report

NORTH QUEENSLAND Toyota Young Guns 44 d TWEED HEADS 6

19 Jun 2006

ONE GOOD turn deserves another. That looked to be the motto of the North Queensland Toyota Young Guns, as they ran away with a thumping 44-6 win against fellow finals hopeful Tweed Heads.

The 38-point margin was the same distance by which the Young Guns lost to Tweed in Round 4 this year, a humiliating 54-16 loss which ended the reigning premiers' run of 16 straight wins.

In an about-face at the Townsville Sports Reserve on Saturday night, the closest the Seagulls got to troubling their rivals was a solitary try, scored 10 minutes before halftime against 12 men.

“It was probably our best defensive effort all year,” said Young Guns coach Mick Crawley.

“After last time we were expecting a tough encounter from them, but right from the start we laid a good platform. We set a precedent and followed through.”

The free-scoring North Queenslanders were not even hampered by the loss of Ashley Graham (NRL duty) or the unfamiliar Townsville Sports Reserve surface.

An encouraging crowd attended the inner-city venue, which hadn't hosted a State League game since season 2003.

Fans were treated to a powerhouse performance by props Rob Tanielu and Ray Cashmere in particular, arguably the most feared and consistent front row pairing this season.

Clint Amos and Mark Henry were also strong, along with skipper Daniel Strickland, who at one stage spent 10 minutes on the sideline for a professional foul.

Eight of the Young Guns have justifiably earned selection in the XXXX Country team, coming in the same week that the club moved unchallenged to first place on the ladder.

“City Country arrives at a good time for us, because we have the bye the week after,” said Crawley.

“Our players will at least get a bit of football under their belts and they get to show their potential to a wider audience. I'm rapt for all of them

“I did think Mark Henry was unlucky to miss out. Every time he handles the ball, the opposition coach must worry. He's been outstanding and again, I'd say he's not far from an NRL call-up.”

Tweed's hold on fourth place is now tentative. In the Seagulls last three matches they have lost to North Queensland and Toowoomba and beaten South slogan by a single point.

For the clash against the Young Guns, Tweed was missing centre Josh Vaughan and prop Matt Austin, both of whom have been suspended.

The Seagulls next play on July 2 against Norths at Bishop Park. Steve Murphy will coach Country next week, with Nat Barnes, Eddie Harrison and Tim Maccan all making the side.

North Queensland does not play again until July 8 against Ipswich in Ayr.
