With the team looking to show the Hyundai Queensland State League that NQ deserve a spot in the A-League even if it means they will be the franchise to step up to the plate.
Training was on and off throughout the Summer due to Cyclones and bad weather, the conditions of fields around Townsville have made it difficult for NQ McDonald's Razorbacks FC to train when trying to begin, although the team has kept fit by other means. When training got back to usual, NQ McDonald's Razorbacks FC "have been working very hard with the limited time for preparation," coach Ken Mitchell explains, "our pre-season has only been one quarter of what we expected it to be. I think fitness will take it's toll towards the ends of both halves, and substitutions will be critical to sustaining the energy levels of the team this week end."
The boys are much the same, with the likes of Lorenzo Sipi adding some wise experience hailing from his stint in the Hyundai A-League. The same mix as to last season's team of young and old gives NQ McDonald's Razorbacks FC a bit of flare and agility from the youngsters along with the older boys showing experience. This year the boys are hoping to get to the playoffs, and setting that target is just the beginning.
"It would be great to see more people supporting the local QSL team. Also the local clubs as well can do with some more support," Ken Mitchell adds his comments to the situation NQ, as a Football community, is in now the Fury have subsided.
The starting line-up looks to be:
Ryan Chellingworth, David Bowater, Luke Rowell, Josh Evans (C), Ben Richardson, Lee Mayberry, Lorenzo Sipi, Branden Holt, David Han, Jesse Consalvo, Robin Edwards
