Marum said it has been a good few days at training this week with the players and coaching staff looking forward to getting the season underway;
“Training has been good, but its time to get out there and play. We are still working hard on the little things we need to get right but the players are really looking forward to the opening match against Redcliffe. We are travelling down early (on Thursday) for the match so we can prepare well and meet our commitments to the Queensland Rugby League season launch on Friday. We are expecting great support at the match and I hope the PNG community living in Brisbane gets to the game to support the boys.”
