Michael Nunn
EVERY Intrust Super Cup side needs one. That tireless foot soldier that no matter the weather, location or day will be there.
They will be there for the Colts and give anything for the Intrust Super Cup side. They’re the voice you can hear from the sideline the hand shake at the sheds or the pat on the back that players feel as they come from the field of battle exhausted, but loved because he’s there.
He’s the keeper of memories, stats and heartache long after it has been forgotten by most. He’s always there in his jumper and hat, always there.

Subscriber only AS a club legend, Danny Coburn was always going to retain strong ties to the Ipswich Jets. It s just a good place to be and good people, the former Jets captain said, still holding the record for most state league games (258) played at the club. However, the former on-field leader and loyal servant has extra reasons for spending time with the Jets this season. Apart from a valuable mentoring role helping Jets Colts coaches Chris Ash and Josh Seage, Coburn is running water for the Ipswich Intrust Super Cup team when needed. I ve just been working more with Ashy and Seagy, Coburn said of being able to contribute in football life after being a highly respected player.
Michael Nunn IT S Rivalry Round this week in the Intrust Super Cup and I am not going to try and talk down our competitiveness against the Easts Tigers. The Tigers are our closest rival, our neighbour, the guy next door. But the Tigers aren t that good guy next door. They re the neighbour that comes over for a BBQ but brings terrible beer and drinks your Balters. The Tigers are the neighbour that doesn t bring your bin in when he gets his or collect your mail while you are away. The Tigers have won 12 or their past 19 against the Jets with one draw. Although it is still a tight contest overall with the Tigers leading 26-22 with one draw.
Rugby league players challenged as Ipswich club’s strong values enhanced by work ethic of netballers. Read chairman’s amazing message to become better and never quit.
Michael Nunn THE Ipswich Jets season is about to take off and it will start with a trial against the Sunshine Coast Falcons at the Coast on February 20. The Jets Intrust Super Cup side then play Souths Logan in Ipswich before ending the pre-season with the PNG Hunters at the North Ipswich Reserve on March 6. Jets head strength and conditioning coach Jonathan Dore was adamant the work has been done in the pre-season. Our testing shows we are ahead of this time last year and that s testament to the players who worked hard last year, Dore said. What is going to be interesting is the new rules this year that have filtered down from the NRL.
