Player to Watch: Cooper Jenkins

Wanted by at least five clubs, including the Dragons and Eels, front-rower Cooper Jenkins will lead the forward pack for the Norths Devils. Jenkins will bring aggression and intensity into the game from the opening kick-off.

In 18 matches, he has scored seven tries, made seven line-breaks and is averaging 98 running metres per game. He also has a tackle efficiency rate of 91 per cent in defence totalling 302 tackles.

Redcliffe Dolphins

The Redcliffe Dolphins have made one change for this week with Trai Fuller rupturing his ACL last weekend, and consist of four Dolphins players: Valynce Te Whare, Josh Kerr, James Walsh and Harrison Graham.

Player to Watch: Valynce Te Whare

The dynamic centre has been in red-hot form over the past few weeks, including 194 running metres and the match-winning try in last week's preliminary final against the Northern Pride.

Able to barnstorm through any team's defensive line, Te Whare will be looking to produce his best performance to date on Sunday as he is still looking for an NRL contract for next season.
