FIVE COAST STARS WHO PUNCHED ABOVE THEIR WEIGHT
HERO OF THE WEEK
Four games into his comeback, Premier League goalscoring legend Chris Broadfoot showed he still has it at the age of 37, finding the net to help Surfers Paradise scratch out a 1-0 win over Murwillumbah.
VILLAIN OF THE WEEK
The Newcastle Jets. They won a host of admirers in their underdog run to last season’s A-League grand final, but they have become enemy no. 1 in their FFA Cup Round of 32 clash against Gold Coast Knights.
LEADING GOALSCORERS
Men — Matt Hilton (25), Luke Marsh, Shaun Robinson (14), Andrew Barisic (11), Morgan Saunders (10)
Women — Nikola Bayer (16), Rose Argent (15), Mia Pinchin (12), Laura Hogg, Merle Bublitz (11)
RISING STOCKS
Broadbeach United extended their men’s Premier League winning streak to five games with a 6-1 drubbing of Palm Beach, with the Dolphins now on track to snatch second spot from one-time ladder leaders Burleigh Heads.
FALLING STOCKS
Gold Coast United’s NPL side. The Surfsiders have now lost their past four games — as well as a handful of players mid-season — and were belted 6-0 by Lions on Sunday. Sitting ninth, they have just three games left to show some pride in the jersey.

WARRIORS WARNING — ‘WE ARE COMING FOR YOU’
