QRL Outback Challenge

YOU don't get more tribal than this! In one of the first big games at this weekend's Festival of Football the QRL Outback team goes up against the best of the Brisbane Second Division.

An annual fixture which gives a representative opportunity to those who often prefer to focus on work, family or study, the Outback v Second Div game kicks off at 12.15pm this Saturday, June 23 at BMD Kougari Oval.

Outback won last year's encounter in Cloncurry by the tune of 50-32.

Among those listed in the Outback team is backrower David Booth of Doomadgee. Booth travelled a 48-hour round trip to the Outback Carnival in Charleville to be viewed by selectors.

Centre Gene Murray - Best and Fairest at the Outback Carnival - comes from 'nearby' Normanton.

Brisbane Second Division fullback Russell Lockyer is the youngest brother of Australian captain Darren.
