Premium Content THE Ipswich Jets jigsaw puzzle is still a few pieces short of being complete. But as the state league team adds more crucial links each week, someone steps up and takes away the final combination. Jets tryscorer Ben White can appreciate that analogy after his team s latest 28-20 loss to Souths Magpies at the North Ipswich Reserve. After providing an early four-pointer out wide, White again watched some well constructed Jets attack unravel while conceding points at crucial stages. But unlike previous games where the Jets gave up 40 plus points, the home side was in the latest clash until the final few minutes.

Michael Nunn THE Ipswich Jets have come back from the Sunshine Coast to prepare for a home trial against the Souths Logan Magpies on Saturday. This will be the Jets last trial game with the cancellation of the Jets v Hunters next week due to quarantine issues with the Hunters. The Jets Intrust Super Cup team lost 42-8 to the Falcons but coach Keiron Lander took positives from the trip to the Coast. Our first half was very good. I was very happy with the first 40 minutes, Lander said. I didn t make an interchange for the first half so the players out there got a good run.
