Burleigh Bears v Easts Tigers is live on 9Gem Queensland on Sunday at 1pm. So will be added to 9Now shortly after that for everyone else and replayed on Fox League the following Wednesday.

Olam with a first half hattrick. Earl also with a try. Falcons dominating.

Easts got pumped.

Tui and Pat Kaufusi not playing QRL either, hope they're OK.

Drinkwater played another 80 minutes. Vete played 65 minutes. Pretty big minutes for a prop.

Great to see Drinkwater get through 80. Selection on Tuesday will be interesting .

According to QRL website, Hynes went off after 25 minutes and did not return. No details yet. The other Storm players all finished the games.

Tui was in NZ so wouldn't have expected him to play. Pat Kaufusi was meant to play I thought so not sure what the go is there.

Correction- Drinkwater only played 70, as was sin binned for 10 for a professional foul. No idea if that rubs him out for next week.

The Drinkwater sin-bin was contentious but there was no malice at all.

According to the Sunny Coast Daily, Hynes went off with a minor leg complaint.

Yes, thanks, was under the impression that there was something in it.

Well we see no changes to the senior team. Hmm

Very pleasing to see Tom Eisenhuth has been picked to play QCup this week. Great to see he seems to be over his very scary injury. Best of luck, Tom !

Drinkwater and Hynes both selected .

So that leaves only Curtis Scott and young Kelma Tuilagi and Kayleb Milne not playing . Does anyone know what the story is with Kelma and Kayleb ? Neither has played QCup for many weeks .

Kelma has a knee injury I’ve been told it’s not ACL but no idea how bad it is

Thanks Sallymay - much appreciated.

That is a shame for Kelma. Hopefully he can get back this season.

Thanks Lucas. I had forgotten Kayleb was still young enough for under 20s.
