Ipswich State High knows it needs to find another level if it is going to topple Langer Trophy heavyweights Keebra Park SHS.
The two schoolboys cup giants will go head-to-head in a rare Tuesday showdown at Southport Tigers RLFC.
The mouth-watering top four battle will headline a big triple header of schools league action exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV, which includes the Walters Cup (Year 10) and NRL Schoolgirls Cup clashes.
Keebra Park comes into the contest with a major target on their backs. The Gold Coast nursery is flying in 2025, undefeated through five rounds and coming off a massive 66-0 thumping of Stretton State College.
But the Ippy boys have been building nicely into the back half of the season with back-to-back wins in their past two games including last week’s physical two-point triumph over Mabel Park SHS.
“We need to use the platform we built against Mabel Park and move further forward,” Ipswich coach Josh Bretherton said.
“Mabel Park played very physical and very aggressive, so we were pumped with the result to get away with the win and for it to be close like that.
“We have to use that feeling and try and set the same defensive standard against Keebra Park.
“Keebra have been excellent against everyone this season. They are red hot and they deserve to be considered favourites.”
The Glitter Strip giants have put together a scintillating highlights reel over the first half of the Schoolboys Cup season, with their electric fullback David Bryenton featuring prominently.
It comes as little surprise that the Australian schoolboys star will be a key target for Ipswich.
Bretherton got an up close look at Bryenton during his time as Queensland coach at the ASSRL Nationals earlier this month, but as for any weaknesses he spotted, he was keeping tight-lipped.
“He is playing unbelievably good football at the moment,” Bretherton said.
“I got to see him up close during the national titles and I was in awe. At the moment I am just impressed with what I have seen.
“How well we contain David is going to have an impact on the game.”
Winning the battle of the forward pack grind will be one way to limit Bryenton’s potential impact on the contest, but it might be easier said than done.
“It’s something that largely goes unnoticed with their game, but they are one of the most physical schools in the competition,” Bretherton said.
“They have some excellent outside backs to score tries, and some teams would be happy to purely rely on those weapons in their arsenal and win games 36-20 or so.
“But they aren’t. They want to get physical in defence and aim up in the middle just as much as they want to score points.
“What we need is a collective effort. It is a good opportunity for our side. We were much happier with the Mabel Park game. Across the board we were happy with how we defended together and worked hard in the grind. It was a much more team-based performance.
“We need that again. After all, it wont be two or three guys alone that will beat this Keebra Park side.”
