EVERYTHING pointed to a return to the North for Pat Kaufusi. Unable to secure an NRL contract, the former North Queensland Cowboy has returned to the Townsville Blackhawks determined to make his mark and force himself back to into the first-grade fray. With he and his partner Amy expecting their first child in June, and family support close by, the stars had aligned for a comeback. Now Kaufusi is intent on using his NRL experience to help guide the Blackhawks to the Intrust Super Cup premiership.

IT WAS the opportunity to experience something new that enticed Moses Meninga to the Townsville Blackhawks. The Papua New Guinean giant is already at home and ready to take the North Queensland outfit to greater heights in 2020. The imposing lock brings a stacked resume to his new side, complete with international outings for the Kumuls and an Intrust Super Cup premiership with the PNG Hunters. But the idea of a fresh start excited the Kuiya Village product, who believes the change could be the catalyst for an NRL pursuit. https://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/sport/nrl/cowboys/from-a-fangirl-to-a-teammate-a-hopeful-gold-star-is-rising/news-story/ee95714c956c5b6995d6d77b5aa6062d
XANTHE Topping has come a long way from “fangirling” in the presence of Jenni-Sue Hoepper. Four years on from their first encounter, the 19-year-old will share the field with the former Jillaroo as part of the inaugural Cowboys Women’s Academy squad. A spot in the first North Queensland Gold Stars side is up from grabs in the forthcoming QRL women’s competition. But for now, the up and coming lock is simply blessed for the opportunity to press her case for higher honours with her childhood hero close by. https://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/sport/nrl/cowboys/townsville-junior-shaniah-power-to-take-centre-stage-for-all-stars/news-story/dda274899aaa50ab1ccb327069f468d6
SHE has already lined up alongside greats of the game, and now Shaniah Power is set to become one of them. As a 17-year-old playing for the Northern Marlins, the backrower stood with a contingent full of high calibre talent. Renae Kunst, Karyn Murphy, Tash Baggow — these athletes have achieved so much and Power was ecstatic to be on the same field. Now, following her selection in the Indigenous All Stars side, she has the platform to emulate the respected trio. |
