This Sunday, the Norths Devils are set for Round 21 of the Hostplus Cup against the Wynnum Manly Seagulls at Bishop Park. As the competition heads into its final rounds, both teams are eager to make a statement in the standings; Sunshine Coast Falcons edge one win closer to equaling points on the ladder. Devils need to stay focused on consolidating their position near the top of the ladder for a potential home game to open the finals.
In their previous Round 4 encounter at Kougari Oval, the Devils narrowly fell to the WM Seagulls with a 26-20 defeat. That early-season setback highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in solidifying new player combinations. Notable performances included a double from Jacob Gagan and a standout try by Manase Kaho, while Cooper Jenkins, now a mainstay in the starting squad, was making his debut.
The stage is set for another intense battle, especially given the history between these sides.
The Devils’ lineup remains unchanged from last weekend’s loss to the Tweed Seagulls. Tuki Simpkins is resting due to an injury, and Julian Christian remains unnamed.
Fans are encouraged to fill Bishop Park and show their support, as this game promises to be a thrilling chapter in the storied rivalry between these two clubs. Don’t miss the action as the Devils aim to avenge their earlier loss and solidify their standing in the Hostplus Cup.
