Redcliffe Dolphins vs Young Guns Preview

REDCLIFFE v NORTH QUEENSLAND
Dolphin Oval, Sunday May 21, 3.00pm.
Referee: Phil Haines

THE STORY:
The most anticipated battle of the year, with the Dolphins and Young Guns tied on top of the ladder. Redcliffe has lost hooker Michael Roberts with an elbow injury, while half Marty Turner (foot, hamstring) is in doubt. North Queensland is without Scott Bolton, away on Queensland Under 19 duty.

THE STAT:
Rory Bromley is the only member of last year?s premiership-winning Young Guns side to be playing for another Wizard Cup club this year. He was forced to earn his stripes in FOGS Cup for the Dolphins, but is now holding down a wing spot in A Grade.

THE STAR:
Josh Hannay had his best game of the year for North Queensland against Burleigh last weekend. He and Redcliffe?s Greg Bourke are leading the race to become the competition?s highest point-scorer in 2006. Bourke has 112 points and Hannay has 84 so far.

CHANGES:
REDCLIFFE
In: Richie Russell. Out: Michael Roberts
NORTH QUEENSLAND
In: Shane Muspratt, Robert Tanielu, Greg Byrnes, Daniel Strickland. Out: Scott Smith, Scott Bolton, Sam Faust, Dean Limpus.
