Horsham lads crucial to NQ’s chances
stands the way we want to play.”
Since 2014, when this series began, NQ hold a 2-1 lead, with SQ looking to square the ledger this afternoon.
Returning SQ coach Danny Craven brings just nine players from the 22 that beat NQ last year. Craven has earmarked youngsters Tommy Templeton and Jai Fitzpatrick, with veteran pair Ben Merrett and Daniel Dzufer, as their key players for this afternoon.
“I think it’ll be a free-flowing game, I think they’ve picked a running side. Probably so have we,” Craven said. “It’ll be a quick game of footy.
“They’ve got a whole bunch of new faces. To a lesser degree, so do we – we’ve got nine out of our 22. “So there’ll be challenges.” The match will be played from 1.40pm as a curtain-raiser to the Western Bulldogs and Gold Coast Suns match.
