The XXXX Queensland Rangers are focusing on repeating last year's complete performance to maintain their dominance of their NSW rivals today at Pizzey Park, Gold Coast. Kickoff is at 4pm.
The team is formed from the state's best A-grade players each year and Coach Craig Grauf says there is no lack of motivation to perform. “There is nothing better than winning for Queensland and we will want to continue that dominance and keep the good run going.

“When you put that maroon jersey on, you always want to do it proud, play with discipline and putting your best foot forward."
Last year, the Rangers squad shut out their NSW Ron Massey Cup rivals 32-0 in Coffs Harbour and have set that level of performance as their benchmark.
Rangers Maeli Seve and Jason Wardrop know that benchmark well, having played in last year's game. The duo will go around again this year and provide valuable experience to the team at Pizzey Park on Sunday.
