WHO WILL WIN? THE 11 KOOKABURRA CUP CAPTAINS GIVE THEIR VERDICT

Kevin Chapman (Mudgeeraba Nerang) Queens have always been the team to beat. Half their side could play first or second grade QCA. Simon Belston (Burleigh)

There’s only team that springs to mind and that’s Queens. They’re not minor premiers for no reason. Sean Fitzsimmons (Broadbeach Robina)

I’ve called it the Queens Cup for the last three years.

Their bowling is unbelievable for a Gold Coast team. Chris Swan (Surfers Paradise) It would be nice if Queens won it for Brad Winton. Andrew Robinson (Coomera Hope Island)

Hard to go past the top two. Both teams have the best bowling attacks in the comp. Nic Peterson (Southport Labrador)

I think Queens on paper are definitely the team to

beat. They have three Queensland Country reps. Ryan Kettle (Palm Beach Currumbin)

Queens will definitely go into the finals as favourites (but) Helensvale are a very good chance. Michael Durbridge (Queens)

I have confidence in the skills and experience of the Queens squad and our ability to adapt. Jack Lickiss (Helensvale Pacific Pines)

I think it’s wide open. Queens have won it back-toback years but the competition is much stronger. Corey Galloway (Alberton)

I think Queens are the best team in the comp on paper, and Broady will play them in the final. Travis Harker (Runaway Bay)

It has to be Queens. There’s not many times you get a chance to win three-straight.
