The In Safe Hands Cup will kick off for Round 2 with the Valleys Diehards hosting the Wynnum Manly Seagulls on Saturday at 3pm at Emerson Park.
Both the Diehards and the Seagulls have had a great start to the season and will go into this weekend’s match having won their last outing and they will also be hoping to continue their winning momentum.
The Seagulls hosted the Logan Brothers in their season opener. It was a great defensive effort from the team with the visitors only scoring once in the second half.
Elsewhere, the Easts Tigers will take on the Redcliffe Dolphins at 4pm at Suzuki Stadium.
The traditional Brisbane rivals are both coming into this game off tough losses and will be hungry for their first win of the 2017 season.
Closing Round 2 will be the West Brisbane Panthers who will host last year’s grand final runners up the Ipswich Jets on Sunday at 1pm Bishop Park.
The Panthers had a great win over the Tigers last weekend in a very close competitive game.
The line defence from both sides last week was great, but it was the Panthers who in the end were able to run to victory.
The Jets, who are coming off a bye, will be looking to claim their first victory of the season.
The Logan Brothers will have the bye this weekend and will aim to back strong for Round 3 when they travel to Ipswich.
