RUGBY LEAGUE: After displaying fortified intent in their trial match against the Townsville Blackhawks, the Cutters are gearing up for a good test this weekend. Round one of the Intrust Super Cup commences on Saturday, with the boys from the Sugar City travelling to meet Easts Tigers in Brisbane. Plenty of positives have been taken from their narrow loss at BBPrint Stadium, and head coach Steve Sheppard is confident they can only get better from here on. Sheppard was impressed by the attitude and defence of his side across the board; however, he said it was crucial they won the key moments - particularly at the start of each half. "I thought our intensity lifted last week. I think we need to go up another gear but expect us to go out firing,” Sheppard said. "We've still got a little bit to go with our match fitness because we missed a bit of time, but I think it certainly improved from the first week. "I thought the speed of the game in that trial right at the start was right up there. A couple of our boys got caught off guard, but once they found their feet after a few minutes they were fine.”
