Round 9 Teams:
NORTHS V BURLEIGH
Venue: Bishop Park
Date: Saturday May 12th KO 2:00pm
Referee: Luke Potter
GRL Tip: Burleigh by 10
In threat of losing touch with the top five, Burleigh welcomes back junior representatives Kieran Turner and Luke Samoa, while Anthony Perkins returns from suspension.
Burleigh is boosted by the inclusion of Trent Purdon, scorer of three tries in his last outing for the Bears. Norths v Burleigh clashes are traditionally known for their brutal forward battles.
Norths actually has the second-best attacking record in the league, but sits third-last on the ladder. That comes about via a forgettable defensive record, conceding almost 30 points per game.
Coach Kevin Carmichael and his staff have been working hard to create greater understanding between the Melbourne-based players and the Brisbane contingent.

Backo, son of Sam, will make his Wizard Cup debut after starting the year out in the Mackay and District league.

WYNNUM V ASPLEY
Venue: BMD Kougari Oval
Date: Sunday May 13th KO 3:00pm
Referee: Michael Wise
GRL Tip: Wynnum
Wynnum Manly has won only one of its last five games and that was against last-placed Central. The Seagulls welcome stalwart Jim Ahmat back this week, but are still without suspended Ben Czislowki.
Aspley will need to find a replacement for towering centre Jason Moon, suspended for a Grade 2 careless high tackle.
Jim Ahmat will equal David Seage for the second-most number of games for Wynnum Manly in the Wizard Cup.
His 113th match comes with him on 51 career tries, equal in that department with current teammate Simon Phillips.

REDCLIFFE V IPSWICH
Venue: Dolphin Oval
Date: Sunday May 13th KO 3:00pm
Referee: Justin Davis
GRL Tip: Redcliffe
A major grudge match between the competition high-flyers and a side which collected the wooden spoon last year.
This season both clubs find themselves in the top five and in relatively strong form. Only Ipswich fans with a long memory will recall the last time the Jets won at Dolphin Oval – way back in 1993.
In 13 Queensland Wizard cup battles since 1996, Redcliffe has totally dominated Ipswich on the peninsula. The Dolphins average almost 40 points on home soil for their last five games against the Jets.
CHANGES: REDCLIFFE – In: Nick Emmett. Out: Trent Leis. IPSWICH – In: Chris Walker, Ricky Bird, Scott Alo. Out: Alex Fata, Gavin Cooper, Matt Cameron.
Redcliffe: 1.Ryan Cullen, 2.Alwayn Simpson, 3.Matt Harris, 4.Nick Emmett, 5.Rory Bromley, 6.Chris Fox, 7.Marty Turner, 8.Troy Lindsay ©, 9.Mick Roberts, 10.Nick Walker, 11.Grant Flugge, 12.Danny Burke, 13.Nathan Tutt Interchange: 14.Adam Starr, 15.Pat Gardner, 16.Daniel Green, 17.Shannon Fish Coach: Anthony Griffin.

SOUTHS LOGAN V TWEED HEADS
Venue: Davies Park
Date: Sunday May 13th KO 3:00pm
Referee: Clayton Sharpe
GRL Tip: Souths Logan
Feathers are set to fly when the evenly-matched Magpies and Seagulls go head-to-head. Souths Logan upset Melbourne Storm feeder club Norths last weekend by two points, while Tweed Heads scored a gallant 24-all draw with Brisbane Broncos affiliate Aspley.
Chris Sandow played four games for Souths Logan in his Wizard Cup debut season in 2006 and was the focal point for the club’s Colts team.
Having switched to the Tweed, he now returns to Davies Park for the first time.
The jack rabbit bamboozled a handful of defenders in scoring against Aspley last weekend, but only has two tries so far this season.
CHANGES: SOUTHS LOGAN – In: No announced changes. TWEED HEADS – In: Matthew Pow. Out: Matthew Austin.
Souths Logan: 1.Quentin Laulu-Togagae, 2.Daniel Sorbello, 3.Mick Anschau, 4.Kyle Lodge, 5.Tyrone Coppedge, 6.Phil Dennis, 7.Paul Rolls, 8.Dennis Conlon, 9.Cameron Joyce, 10.Kieran Whalley, 11.Tim Cannard, 12.Brandan Costin, 13.Scott Marks.
