Cyril Connell Cup grand final team lists

The Redcliffe Dolphins and Townsville Blackhawks will meet in this Saturday's Cyril Connell Cup grand final - the first premiership decider since 2016.

The last time a grand final was played in the Cyril Connell Cup, the Blackhawks were crowned premiers over the Souths Logan Magpies.

Now back in 2024, the Blackhawks return to the main stage at Totally Workwear Stadium, this time to take on the Dolphins.

The two clubs met in last year's Mal Meninga Cup grand final, setting up a nice rivalry between the two as they go at it again, this time in Cyril Connell Cup.

Here are your grand final team lists.
