Rugby Park is set to host a spectacular Super Saturday of Rugby League with a lineup of 31 games across four fields, kicking off at 8:30am and culminating with the last game on field one at 6pm.
The event will feature Burdekin teams from under 6 to A grade, competing against teams from Charters Towers, Brothers, Western Lions, Souths, Centrals, and Bowen.
Burdekin's A grade team, currently in sixth place, will clash with fourth-placed Charters Towers in a highly anticipated match. The Roosters, under the guidance of coach Steve Lansley, are looking forward to welcoming back centre Jones Munro and potentially Tomasi. Lansley is counting on his strong forward pack, including Henry Teuteu, Chris Gale, Paul Merlo, Lachlan Shepherd, Jeremiah Matuatu, and Nelson Kennerdy.
With the under 18s also in action, Jye Olsen might feature off the bench alongside halves Hayde Munro and Rhett Williams. Nemia Nawave and Iowanio Cavalati are expected to shine on the wings, supported by Patrick Krause in the centres and captain Joel Mason at fullback, forming a youthful yet capable side.
In the curtain-raiser, the fourth-placed Roosters will take on the seventh-placed Miners, who have shown good form recently with a convincing win over Western Lions.
Chris Perry, coach of the Roosters, is optimistic about fielding a strong side after facing player shortages last week. Key players like Dylan Doak, Caleb Noah, Kyle Ferguson, Bryce Horan, Dominic Augostis, and Jerome Icco are set to bolster the team's lineup.
In the first senior women's game, the Hens will face off against the Lady Miners. The Hens, aiming to bounce back from recent losses, will be buoyed by the return of Kezziah Lammion, Abby King, Margie O'Rourke, and possibly Talisha Bulgarelli.
The Hens, currently in fourth place, have shown a competitive edge with four wins and five losses, contrasting with the Miners' two wins and eight losses. The Hens' strong scoring record (230 for, 182 against) highlights their attacking prowess, whereas the Miners (96 for, 324 against) will be looking to tighten their defense.
Overall, Rugby Park promises a day packed with thrilling matches and fierce competition, showcasing the talent and determination of local Rugby League teams.
