Whilst it sits at Noosa +15 points and then Noosa -15 points against Palm Beach in Season 2012, neither of those games mean anything as the two sides meet at Surfers Paradise this week in the do or die Preliminary Final.
Early injuries unbalanced Palmy last week as they were humbled by the Magpies, while our own Tigers defeated challengers Surfers at Weyba Road by 21 points.
The combined margins give a true indication of the eveness of the sides and while Noosa will be hoping that Palmy's 6 day break becomes a factor, it will only become so if physical and scoreboard pressure are applied by our Tigers to make it a factor.
As expected, Jake Hawkesworth comes back into the side, with Jack Tickner making way.
We all know that a fourth consecutive Grand Final (against a fourth different opponent) is a possibility, however time will tell if it becomes a reality
