Subscriber only AFTER adding another big match medal to his premiership collection, powerhouse performer Ramon Filipine shared the Ipswich All Stars winning edge. While he expected to be among the players with sore bodies today, Filipine said his teammates were better prepared to secure a 36-12 victory over the Ipswich Indigenous All Stars. The Indigenous boys, they came out strong like we knew they would, Filipine said.
