NORTH Queensland Football are calling on the State Government for a “common sense” approach to regional sport, adamant the return to play guidelines do not suit the northern areas. Typically football in Townsville is played out of Brolga Park — a fenced and gated facility with multiple grounds to spread across. The plan FNQ general manager Declan Carnes had in place was to split the park into three separate zones, with multiple gates able to manage the flow of people to each area and maintain the 100 person capacity. However he said there is no clarity around what constitutes a venue, and at this stage he is resigned to the maximum audience being across the entirety of Brolga Park. It would present a logistical nightmare to manage for the organisation, parents, players, volunteers and officials.

JACK Miller has described his next chapter on the bike in fitting fashion — he is stepping up to “the Ferrari of MotoGP”. The Townsville racing star has signed on to the Ducati Factory team, putting his name in elite company with the likes of Casey Stoner and Troy Bayliss. Achieving this goal is a dream the 25-year-old has worked to realise his whole life, but even still the moment has been “surreal”. Miller has signed a one contract, however it has an option for him to continue on in 2022. It is rare territory for him in that he has never come into a season with his future locked in. And that short-term focus is just how he likes it. Rather than have the security of a long-term deal, the 12 month window keeps him on his toes and pushing to better himself whenever he gets on the bike. |
