Another exiciting charity Sheild. but honestly we were luck to come away with a draw and retain the Shield in the end. Wesser has a good first game back. Taylor and Asotasi were feeling their way and Burgess had a godd first hit out with the boys. Defence is a concern after letting in 5 tries against the Titans and another 5 last night. This is a area we will need to improve as we go into the season.

Just as we start to get players back, we suffered our first set of longer term injuries. McQueen damaging his knee once again up in Coffs and Morgan do the same in the U20's.

Put this name in your books as a future star. In the Matthews he scored 4 tries on the weekend taking his tally up to 7 after 3 rounds.

Good to see the RL World Cup expand. There will be 20 teams going through formal qualifies with 14 teams making the cut for the finals. Only disappointment was that 12 of those 14 will gain automatic quaification.
