Queensland Cup 2018
I think Cheyse’s defence is overrated (Leilua made him look like a park footballer). Plus the fact that he’s slow, doesn’t offer much in attack. Young’s defence has been his biggest problem in the past but you can’t fault him for it this year, he’s been much improved and he offers way more offensively then Cheyse.

Hughes clinic guides Falcons to big win
melbournestorm.com.au
Tue 8 May 2018
Sunshine Coast recorded their biggest win of the season off the back of a brilliant performance from Storm playmaker Jahrome Hughes.
The 23-year-old scored two tries and set up several others in an emphatic 38-nil victory over the CQ Capras.
After an injury-interrupted start to the year Hughes has been working his way back to full fitness and on Sunday it all came together.
"He is getting back to his best and back to where we all know he can play footy," Craig Ingebrigtsen said.
"His vision was so good, he is a play and a half ahead of everyone else. His combination with Cooper Johns was really good, Cooper controlled the game and he let Jahrome run around and play with the footy which was really exciting for the team.
"I am excited for the rest of the year for him, whether it is with us or in the NRL. A fit Jahrome Hughes is great for the Melbourne Storm."
SUNSHINE COAST FALCONS 38 (Jahrome Hughes 2, Jake Ainsworth 2, Matt Soper-Lawler, Jacob Hind, Harry Grant tries; Ryan Papenhuyzen 5 goals) def CQ CAPRAS 0 at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

Storm youngsters strong for Easts
melbournestorm.com.au
Tue 8 May 2018
A slow start again proved costly for Easts Tigers who slumped to a 22-30 loss at the hands of Souths Logan Magpies.
Easts scored three tries to one in the second half but it was not enough to overturn the 18-point half-time deficit.
The second half turnaround was led by Storm youngsters Billy Walters and Scott Drinkwater.
The pair both crossed the line and led the way in attack following the restart.
"Billy and Drinky both came alive in the second half," Easts coach Scott Sipple said.
"Drinky's runs and kick returns got us on the front foot, he made several breaks and Billy capitalised on his good work.
"It was good to have them back and now hopefully we can get some game time in them."
SOUTHS LOGAN MAGPIES 30 (Phil Dennis, Scott Doyle, Marion Seve, Travis Waddell, Thomas Flegler tries; Guy Hamilton 5 goals) def EASTS TIGERS 22 (Cheyse Blair, Brayden Torpy, Scott Drinkwater, Billy Walters tries; Brayden Torpy 3 goals) at Davies Park.
