The Gold Coast Knights & Queensland Lions managers G. Piddick and D. Sime are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Npl Queensland league table.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
