After the results on the weekend this weekends game is the first ever 1st v 2nd playoff for the Minor Premiership match since 1968. The equation is now simple we win we are minor premiers. A loss and we are second.

103 years and we saw 4 brother play on game day. But Sam almost blew a perfect day after being Sin Binned which allowed the Tigers to get to a 18 nil lead. But the day ended well with a classic Burgiiii final set as the 4 brother did the 5 hitups and finished the game with a 4 Burgiiii crunching tackle.

For the second year in succession Adam Reynolds has now scored 200 points in a season,which was only done by the great Eric Simms.

Bears destroyed arch rivals Manly in a game where they put on 60 points with Koroisau bagging 24 points in the game and notched up his 100th point as well.

A gutsy win over 6th played West-Tigers has secured another Top 8 birth for our U20s. Well done.

With such a strong showing in all 3 grades it so disappointing that the Club Championship doesn't include all 3 grade anymore. Souths would be clear winners in the old 3 x FG, 2 x RG and 1 x U20s format.
