Brisbane Rugby League 1928, Round Ten

The Pike Cup Final between University and Carlton was also played on this Saturday, and it wasn’t a league fixture. University won 11-2. This, along with the replayed Brothers-Grammars game, caused a reshuffle in the schedule, with an additional set of games played as round 15 on 1 September.
