Round 2 Game Previews
MEN a
Rockhampton Stadium Nightclub Rockets v.
Townsville McDonalds Heat
The big season opener for the Rockets with a real ‘all-star’ line-up hitting the court this year.  The Association has worked tirelessly in their recruiting and have been able to secure Ben Thompson from the Spartans, Cam Tragardh backs up for another year of fun, and Peter Bullock and Jeff Gloger join them as partners in crime…  This team will be a tough chew for any squad in the League and Townsville really have their work cut out for them, especially after a Round 1 loss on their books.  They will make the journey south on Friday and will have to bring their A-game after the long road-trip to come out on-top here.  One thing is a certainty though with the Heats Kruger in Hegvold Stadium…… it’s going to be loud!

 
WOMEN a

Rockhampton Hog’s Breath Café Cyclones v
Townsville Aubrey & Assoc. AMP Flames
 
The Rocky Cyclones open their account at home with a high profile team who were under-done and outperformed last week- the Townsville Flames.  Will this disappointing loss to Cairns spur them onto bigger and better things in Round 2, or is this all they have to offer?  The Cyclones will be packing a solid punch with Australian player Jenny Whittle at the helm looking to steer this squad onto National glory.  A rest in Round 1 gave the Cyclones the chance to work out ‘who’s got what’ in teams around the League, so they’ll know that Hill, Heilbronn and Wilson will be looking to slide it up into 5th gear early.
