In the earlier Round 2 clash between the Norths Devils and the Redcliffe Dolphins, the Devils experienced a tough outing, ultimately falling to the Dolphins with a close score of 16-12. This Sunday’s Round 18 encounter at Bishop Park promises to be another intense battle as the Devils look for redemption and aim to maintain their standing in the Hostplus Cup top two.
Team List Preview for Round 18 – Norths Devils vs. Redcliffe Dolphins:
As we gear up for this critical rematch against the Redcliffe Dolphins, the Norths Devils are eager to demonstrate their growth since their last encounter. With the season progressing and stakes increasing, both teams are expected to bring their best to the field.
Returning Players:
- Jack Ahearn: After missing last week’s game, halfback Jack Ahearn returns to the lineup, bringing leadership and composure that were missed in the previous round.
Players to Watch:
Manase Kaho and Jordan Lipp: Kaho has been instrumental this season, frequently finding the try line. His ability to finish plays will be crucial in breaking through the Dolphins’ defence. Jordan Lipp, who has recently proven his versatility across the backline, will find himself in the fullback position this week—a role in which he has shown some comfort and effectiveness.
This match is not just a chance for the Devils to avenge their earlier loss but also an opportunity to solidify their place at the top of the ladder as the playoffs approach. The team dynamics have evolved since their last meeting with the Dolphins, with players adapting and improving under Coach Dave Elliott’s guidance.
