Super six: The stars who will decide Coast League grand final

Tallebudgera and Nerang meet for a Coast League grand final thriller on Saturday. Before The Bulletin livestreams all the action, catch up on the players to watch right here.

THE TALLEBUDGERA juggernaut rolls into Saturday’s Coast League grand final as a pre-emptive premiership favourite.

A staggering 18 wins for one draw and one loss on the season makes that well-earned favouritism.

But punters cannot count out grand final rivals Nerang.

It was just over a month ago that the Eagles and Tigers played out an enthralling 4-all draw – Nerang the second, and most recent, team to take points off Tallebudgera all season.

Now the two sides meet with it all on the line, and these are the six players poised to play the biggest roles in getting their respective sides across the line on Saturday.

19 goals this season as he looks to take some pressure off Hilton at the front.

will be looking to add another trophy in the cabinet which is already full.

Nerang FC

With 17 goals on the season, Nerang striker Tennessee Kinghorn’s penchant for scoring will be a key factor in the grand final.
