Tweed Heads 12 at Bishop Park, Nundah (Qld)  Ipswich Jets bye Late Raid Lifts Magpies Mon March 24, 2008 Source: www.qrl.com.au Souths Logan coach Paul Bramley has praised the professionalism of the Magpies' exciting Canberra Raiders contingent following his side's impressive 32-16 victory over the Easts Tigers. Raiders players Colin Best, Michael Weyman, Cy Lasscock, David Milne, Marc Herbert and Michael Dobson linked with the Magpies for Saturday's round two clash at Langlands Park. The Canberra connection didn't disappoint, helping the Magpies to a crucial victory. "They were absolute professionals," Bramley said. "They realise the only way to get back up there with Neil (Henry) is to play well up here." However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the new-look Magpies. Easts looked the sharper of the two sides in the opening half on their way to a 16-6 lead at the break. But the Magpies finished with a flurry of points in the second half. "It was obviously a new team. We knew what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go but we were just a bit impatient," Bramley said. Bramley said the Magpies finished "much stronger" than Easts. He said strength and conditioning coach Al Parker deserved praise for lifting the players' fitness levels. Easts coach Darren Smith felt a high injury toll contributed to the Tigers' second half demise. The Tigers, who have now lost back-to-back games, had to soldier on without five-eighth Isaac Kaufmann and fullback Wade Liddell. Both players left the field with concussion. To make matters worse, Kev Stephensen (head knock) and Scott Sipple (suspected broken hand) were also struggling. "It was a casualty ward," Smith said. "We thought someone was throwing in hand grenades with all the bodies on the ground." Easts welcome the bye in round three, while the Magpies travel to Rockhampton for a clash with the Comets.
