The BRL A Grade In Safe Hands Cup moves past the halfway mark this weekend with the Seagulls facing the Panthers, the Tigers hosting the Diehards and the Dolphins taking on the Magpies in Round 11 fixtures.
First up on Saturday evening is Bayside Seagulls hosting the Panthers, who thus far have held the edge over Bayside.
Wests have already managed a 22-12 win over the Seagulls in Round 1 before backing it up with another win, this time 36-28, in Round 6.
Wests will have the red hot Adam Harris in their ranks this time, however the form of halfback Zach Strasser has seen him promoted to the Norths Devils Intrust Super Cup squad.
Injuries and a suspension in the halves for Bayside have forced a reshuffle, with Adrian Elder to be joined by Mitchell Forrest with hooker John Te Reo another option while Brad Mana returns to the forward pack.
Gavin Causer has been named to replace Strasser for the Panthers, meaning all eyes will be on the battle of the rookie halves.
Next up, the Tigers have a score to settle with Valleys on Sunday afternoon at Suzuki Stadium, Langlands Park.
The Tigers led the Diehards with 15 minutes to go in Round 1, but Valleys piled on the points late to win 34-20.
The second instalment in Round 6 was even closer, with Valleys scoring after the siren take the three points, 30-24.
Last week, the Tigers rolled up their sleeves against the Magpies at Suzuki putting 10 converted tries on the visitors.
While Coach David Krause would be happy with the result, the Magpies were reduced to 11 men for eight minutes, when most of the damage was done and will need to maintain this new-found form against the Diehards for 81 minutes.
Easts will again roll out the dynamic duo in Brayden Torpy and Jack Walters. The Tigers had another stand out last week in benchman Heath Wilson. Wilson was the metre eater for the Tigers last week and deserved his meat pie in the dying stages of last week's game.
For Valleys, hooker Chris Aiton will look to launch his fellow forwards at the Tigers. Valley's strength when looking to emerge from their 'end' zone has been the fleet of foot backline darts from dummy half, one of the best being Tom Collins.
This looks to be the match of the round if you look at the previous results between the two clubs. The use of their respective benches will hold the key to who takes game three.
Finally, the Magpies will fly north for the first time this winter to take on Redcliffe. While last week's result may suggest this will be a one sided encounter, the previous result could suggest otherwise.
In Round 6 at Jim Lawrie Oval, the Magpies were denied on the bell after Redcliffe scored a converted try to win 18-16, but the Magpies showed plenty in that defeat.
Redcliffe's Tristan Hope, Taylor Brown and Ben King will lock horns with Justin Fai, Brad Frith and Will Samuel in what shapes as an epic battle up front.
The threesome to get the upper hand will go a long way to getting a result, one that may well come down to the final minute again.
