The Rococo Noosa Tigers sit 0-5 in 2023 and just have to clinch their first victory against the winless Sherwood at Noosa this Saturday.
Noosa will be hoping to regain the services of injured stars skipper Aaron Laskey and key ball user Mav Pettigrove after having one and two week lay offs respectively.
Laskey again has been a shining consistent light through the middle of the ground this year while Pettigrove’s new ‘quarter back user’ type role has seen him among Noosa’s best players most weeks. Locals Will O’Dwyer, Tyler Stack and Jai Fitzpatrick have all had good starts to the year gathering plenty of the footy and pumping it to the Tigers’ advantage. Ruckman Crisp has battled manfully in each game while Buntain and Flagg continue to hold down key defensive posts once again.
Senior men’s coach Chris Rourke even ventured down the Bruce highway to Brisbane last weekend to get a glimpse of Sherwood, who were gallant but soundly defeated in the end by one of the flag favourites Redlands.
The Reserve grade boys will look to keep their unbeaten run going as they sit happily on top of the QAFL ladder.
This Reserve group has leadership in spades and is very well coached by first year reserve grade coach Tait Niddrie.
Our colts just need to continue to put their hand up each week and enjoy the challenge week in and week out.
Our Senior Women continue to push past all before them with another thumping victory last Saturday against Hinterland.

Plenty of mixed junior results last weekend with the Tiger under 13 boys super impressive in their big win over Maroochydore. A special mention to young Lachy Tindale who kicked eight goals in a terrific display of forward craft.
Plenty of junior fixtures on both Friday and Sunday at our Weyba Rd headquarters and a Happy ‘Mothers Day ‘ to all our wonderful Mums on Sunday!
See you at the footy.
Go Tigers.
