Competition has well and truly heated up in the Intrust Super Cup.
A mixed bag of results in the first five rounds has made life extremely difficult for Queensland Rugby League's star tippers.
Heading into Round 6, Easts Tigers and Sunshine Coast Falcons are both undefeated.
The two sides will face off at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Saturday.
Match: Falcons v Tigers
Round 6 -
home Team
Falcons
3rd Position
away Team
Tigers
1st Position
Venue: Sunshine Coast Stadium, Sunshine Coast
Central Queensland Capras, Souths Logan Magpies and last year's winners Redcliffe Dolphins have only won one game each, and PNG Hunters are yet to win a game.
Out of a possible 35 points, commentator extraordinaire Peter Psaltis leads with 26, and Queensland stars Annette Brander and Meg Ward are struggling at the bottom of the ladder.
Ward said "early days... we will come back".
