Anthony Breeze THROUGH the great attacking play in Rugby League Ipswich Round four action, one club firmed as Premiership favourites. Swifts again turned on a try feast against Norths. Here s how this weekend s games shape up.
Saturday (5.30pm) - Brothers v Norths at Raceview BROTHERS returned to form with a bang last weekend with a great win over Goodna. Norths were on the end of a Swifts onslaught. Brothers will be hoping playmaker Wes Conlon is okay. He was replaced at halftime. Most of Brothers attacking options come through him. Conlon relies on his forwards setting the platform which then provides the required time to set up different plays to test the defence line.
Anthony Breeze SWIFTS have become outright favourites for the Rugby League Ipswich A-Grade title after an eventful round three. The Ipswich Jets and Fassifern also secured their first wins. What will Round 4 bring?
Saturday (6pm) - Norths v Swifts at North Ipswich NORTHS delivered a brave effort last weekend before falling to the Jets. Swifts turned on an awesome performance in demolishing Brothers. The Tigers will need to step up a few notches if they are to tame the Bluebirds. They will rely heavily on Ethan Page who was in great form last week. New half Lachlan Williamson must give some clean ball to his centres in Betteins and Lowe who are both powerful ball runners.

The former Ipswich Jets half was among the first players to accept when the call went out to line up against the Ipswich All Stars at the North Ipswich Reserve.
