The washed out Round 6 fixtures of the CAOS Premier Brisbane Rugby League A Grade competition falls this Saturday after clubs clashed in Round 15 last weekend.
With only the Brisbane Tigers and Ipswich Jets playing in the Hostplus Cup this weekend, the question remains if players will be rested or asked to join their affiliates for game time, suggesting the sides that played last week may not be the same this weekend.
Coaches for the first time will scrutinise video footage on the rivals last week to enhance their chances this Saturday.
West Brisbane is on target to become minor premiers after defeating Pine Rivers, along with second-placed Bulimba posting a draw against Beenleigh, the Panthers have that extra breathing space.
The Pride, Valleys and Wynnum juniors are locked on 30 points to round out the top five. Pine Rivers have dropped out of the top for the first time but sit on 29 competition points.
Mathematically Brighton and Normanby can make the finals series but will need to win their remaining four games.
