REDBACKS senior coach Jason Wright knows entangling the USQ Cougars in their web today will not be easy but with the Matthew Stanley Trophy on the line he said the home side was eager for a win.

The trophy is in memory of Redlands teenager Matthew Stanley who lost his life at a teen party in 2006 where he was assaulted.

"It is something that we like to promote - the One Punch Can Kill - to reduce the amount of violence on the footy field and in the community in general," Wright said.

Wright said father of Matthew Stanley, founder of the Matthew Stanley Foundation and One Punch Can Kill campaign, Paul Stanley would be attending today's match.

But Wright said the Redbacks would have to work hard if they wanted to claim the win today. Particularly if they wanted to avoid a repeat performance of last week's "dismal loss" to the Toowoomba Tigers.

"We are looking to be pretty strong," he said.

"We have to go into the game with the confidence and know that we can win.

"But it will not be easy and we will have to work hard to get the win."

Especially against USQ's talented line-up - Heath Gniel running riot across the half-forward line and feeding the experienced Al Reilly and Joel Yosh will be a headache all day for Redback players Shannon Cameron, Andrew Bardsley and Tony Chandler.

Cougars defensive set up is also one of the best in the competition, Josh Timmer, Matt Authurs and Josh White are all attacking defenders.

Mid-field battles should go the way of the Reddies though with Thye Clarkson, Tim Tate and Kurt Millard all in good form.

A good centre line of Matt Stone and Mark Borgert on the wings and Clinton McErvale as the pivot is also in great form and will give the Reddies plenty of drive.

The seniors will not be the only team taking to the field with the under-8 to under-10s games starting at 8.40am followed by the under-12s, under-14s and under16s, with the main game squaring off at 2.30pm.
