Devils CEO Jamie Dowse said the club was proud of its development program.
“Our program has developed numerous Intrust Super Cup, NRL and international players in the past and we hope to continue the development of players on and off the field going forward,” Dowse said.
“It is important to reward the junior clubs in our program because they are the ones developing these players each week from the young age groups. We just give them a pathway and put a bit of polish on them.”
Gates open at 8.30am. The first match kicks off at 9am with Norths playing Wynnum Manly in the Cyril Connell Cup.
