ROUND 18/2010 - Queensland Cup

The Souths Logan Magpies returned to their winning ways, defeating the Ipswich Jets 34-12.

Match Report

Although it was a scrappy game where both sides were guilty of making errors, the Magpies were in control for most of the match and took a 16-6 lead into half-time.

Marc Herbert crossed twice for the visitors, while Reece Robinson, Michael Brophy and Quentin Laulu-Togagae all added to their try-scoring tally this year.

Souths Logan play the in-form Mackay Cutters this week in what promises to be a cracking match.

Match Preview

Ian Lacey celebrates his 100th Queensland Cup match in what has been a disappointing season for the former Toowoomba and Aspley playmaker.

Lacey’s season has been plagued by injury and a number of near misses, but the Jets halfback would love nothing more than to spring a surprise on Souths Logan.

Ipswich would have to win at least three of its remaining five games to be a chance of avoiding the wooden-spoon.

Sunday’s round 18 match could be a lopsided outing for the Jets unless they turn up with an improved attitude against a Magpies outfit that won’t hold back after consecutive defeats for the first time this year.

The Magpies have been strengthened by the return of Queensland Residents star Brad Cross and will again have the services of Raiders players Brett Kelly, James Stuart and Marc Herbert.

Souths Logan stalwart Quentin Laulu-Togagae needs one more try to become the first Magpies player to reach 50 tries in the Queensland Cup.
