Congratulation to Easts Tigers legend Donald Malone on his selection in the Queensland/Intrust Super Cup’s ‘20th Year Anniversary Team’.
Malone has played 179 games in the Queensland/Intrust Super Cup, scoring 117 tries and kicking 137 goals for a personal tally of 742 points. Malone’s career stretches from 2004 to 2015, playing with four clubs: Easts Tigers; Toowoomba Clydesdales; Ipswich Jets; and the Mackay Cutters.
The team also includes former Easts Tigers greats Ryan Cullen, Sime Busby and Phil Dennis.
Selected earlier this month by an astute panel, the team will assemble as guests of the QRL at Sunday’s Intrust Super Cup grand final at Suncorp Stadium.
Tweed Seagulls playmaker Brad Davis is the honorary skipper, with two-time former Burleigh Bears premiership-winning mentor Rick Stone the coach.
It should come as no surprise that the competition’s most capped player, Redcliffe’s Troy Lindsay, was selected in the front row. The former Dolphins warhorse played 270 Cup games for the Dolphins, a dozen more than Ipswich’s Danny Coburn who was selected at lock forward. Lindsay played in eight grand finals, winning five premierships with the Redcliffe club.
The 17 players announced today collectively featured in 27 grand final victories and every player has represented Queensland Residents.
EBF.
