The South East Queensland Division this week named a preliminary squad of 35 players under consideration for its Brisbane Rugby League Poinsettias representative team. 

A final team of 19 players will be named on May 31 to participate in the QRL State Carnival on the weekend of June 5-7 at Southport’s Owen Park. 

Players are picked from the nine Brisbane-based BRL clubs, and the Poinsettias will meet teams at the Carnival which represent the three QRL Divisions – Central Crows, Northern Marlins and South East Queensland. 

The other SEQ team will be selected from Local League A Grade competitions in Ipswich and the Gold Coast, as well as the Brisbane Second Division.

Following the State Carnival, the XXXX Queensland Rangers team is chosen from this carnival to take on a Ron Massey Cup (Sydney) Representative side on July 18 after a week-long training camp.

Brisbane QRL League Manager Shane McNally will guide the BRL team for this commitment.  Shane, a former Queensland representative player also won BRL premierships with Easts.  His coaching resume includes a stint as Wynnum Manly Seagulls Intrust Super Cup and also the English Super League Club with Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.
