Brisbane North Cougars remain undefeated in the Sapphire Series after a huge win over last year’s grand finalists Ipswich Jets.
Jets do not have a good track record against the Cougars, winning just one of seven games the sides have previously played against each other.
The sides last met in the 2020 Sapphire Series Final - which Cougars won.
Today’s match at Nissan Stadium was no different with Cougars finishing ahead 67 to 48.
Despite a slower start than we have come to expect from the Cougars, the reigning premiers clawed back an early lead taken by the Jets to have a strong first quarter.
