What the coach said

"It was a great occasion to go up to CQ and play against the Capras as we’re both affiliates, so there was a great build up, plenty of banter and good footy.

"We had some really strong performances from Albert Kelly, Trai Fuller and Jeremiah Simbiken in particular.

"We came in with a physical approach which helped us early, we competed hard for tries off kicks but to their credit, they came roaring home, as we knew they would.

"It’s a good build up for us leading into next week playing at Suncorp Stadium, that'll be another big occasion for us.

"It's the first time we'll play as a curtain raiser to the Dolphins so it’s a nice blast from the past where parents and kids can get out and cheer us on as well." - Ben Te'o, Redcliffe Dolphins Coach.

"Firstly, a credit to how the Redcliffe Dolphins played on the weekend.

"We didn’t start well and we couldn’t control our errors in the first half.

"I was happier with the second half but due to the form of Redcliffe we couldn’t catch them on the scoreboard.

"A big congratulations to Jack Madden playing his 100th Queensland Cup game on the weekend." - David Faiumu, CQ Capras Coach.
