Reserve Grade - Intrust Super NSW Premiership - Round 17

v Blacktown, HE Laybutt Field, Sun Jul 8 3:00pm

LOSS 0-32

Late Changes - Kavelinga is out. Hiroti starts fullback, Burns centre The Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles have sent an ominous warning to the Intrust Super Premiership NSW competition, trouncing the North Sydney Bears 32-0 at HE Laybutt Field. Up against a Bears side coming off a big win, the Sea Eagles raced to a 20-0 lead at half-time in what was a clinical performance. Their monstrous forward pack punched holes through the middle all game, providing the backs room to move and excite. Halfback Cade Cust was fantastic, while fullback Jade Anderson and five-eighth Tom Wright also impressed. The result lifts Blacktown into seventh position on 19 points. It also severely dents North Sydney’s finals aspirations, leaving them five points adrift of the top eight in second-last place. The Bears started physically, running and tackling with vigour as they threw down the gauntlet to Blacktown. However, the home side was up for the challenge and withstood the early ambush. After defending for most of the opening minutes, the Sea Eagles scored with their first attacking opportunity. Wright flew onto a well-placed grubber from Cust, juggling the ball before grounding it safely in the in-goal. Hooker Joey Lussick converted to put his side ahead by six. Blacktown received a shot of energy from the try, bustling upfield through clever second-phase play. Heavy defence then caused a Bears error, and the Sea Eagles were soon awarded a penalty next to the posts. They didn’t hesitate to edge further in front via the boot of Lussick. More points came moments later from a brilliant individual effort by Blacktown’s Anderson. The custodian skipped to the outside down the right edge around 25 metres out and burned multiple Bears defenders on his way to the line. Kicking with a stiff wind blowing across him, Lussick was unable to add the extras. Nothing was going right for the Bears, and it would only get worse. They spilled a high bomb and the Sea Eagles swooped on the loose ball deep in offensive territory. A play later, Lussick darted across for a try from dummy-half. He converted his own four-pointer to make the score 18-0. Yet another knock-on from the Bears coming out of their own end gifted Blacktown possession. A penalty goal in the ensuing set allowed the Sea Eagles two more points, and they would take an imposing 20-0 advantage into half-time. Blacktown drove a stake into the Bears’ hearts when they claimed a fourth try early in the second stanza through workhorse lock Tom Amone. Lussick converted once again. Sea Eagles prop Toafofoa Sipley was sin-binned for a professional foul in the 53rd minute, but North Sydney still couldn’t find a way to get on the scoreboard in his absence. Sipley made an immediate impact when he returned to the field, continuing his rich try-scoring run when he crashed over next to the uprights. Lussick had no issues with the conversion and extended Blacktown’s buffer to 32. North Sydney tried hard in the dying stages but wasn’t able to avoid an embarrassing shutout at the hands of Blacktown.

NSWRL Women's Premiership - Round 13

v Cabramatta, Redfern Oval, Sun Jul 8 4:00pm

WIN 28-14

Late Changes - Grimes, Johnson and Ianeta Baker were out. Moale added to the bench. The South Sydney Rabbitohs women's team has moved within one game of being crowned minor premiers of the Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership, with a strong 28-14 win over Cabramatta at Redfern Oval. After a difficult month of June, the Red and Green bounced back with a dominant display, which saw captain Lavina O'Mealey and winger Taleena Simon grab doubles. Starting off with a bang both sides were up for the contest with strong hard running setting the tone for the match. However, it didn't take long for the Rabbitohs to fire, with leading try scorer Simon producing a spectacular long-range effort that she has become famous for in Red and Green colours in 2018. Receiving a long pass from half O'Mealey 20 metres out from her own line, Simon showed her raw pace as she burnt the Cabramatta defence out wide before cutting back in-field to race away and score under the posts. Halfback Maddie Studdon had an easy job from right in front to put her side 6-0 ahead after five minutes. The Rabbitohs then slotted into fifth gear reminding everyone of their class and composure. Working their way downfield comfortably through strong runs from forwards Chloe Caldwell, Grace Uluiburuto and Kimbaley Kershaw, the Rabbitohs set themselves up for their next four points. Swinging the ball out to the open side, five-eighth O'Mealey was offered too much room by the defence and the skilful veteran shimmied and dummied her way to the line to score her first of the evening in the 14th minute. Studdon was unsuccessful with her conversion from the touchline but the Rabbitohs still had a 10-0 lead. Just a few minutes later the Cardinal and Myrtle were in again, this time through centre Emma Gillogly. It was an easy job for Gillogly, who only had to catch and put the ball down to score with no defenders in front of her after Studdon's cut out ball split the opposition's defence. The sideline conversion was successful from the halfback, which stretched the lead out to 16-0. Despite the Rabbitohs dominance, the Cabramatta side were still in the contest and their never say die attitude pay dividends, with a late try to Chanel Steiner in the corner. The try set up a unique scoreline at half-time with the Rabbitohs leading 16-4. It didn't take long for the first try to be scored in the second half, with a rejuvenated Cabramatta outfit getting on the board in the 32nd minute through centre Quilaine Papua, who touched down in the corner following a havoc-wrecking kick from number 7 Raecene McGregor. The conversion was again too difficult a challenge for Teina Clark but her side were well and truly back in the match. While it took them a little while to settle into their groove in the second half the Rabbitohs finally clicked into gear in the 42nd minute as O'Mealey grabbed her double. Mirroring her first try with another fleet-footed run to the line, O'Mealey was again too hot to handle for the defence as she put the Rabbitohs back in the drives seat. Studdon easily added the extras to put the Rabbitohs ahead 22-8 The match was then put to bed 11 minutes later as Simon produced another long distance try to take her tally to 19 for the season. Studdon's boot turned four points into six to give the Red and Green a comfortable 28-8 lead. Cabramatta scored one late consolation try through Victoria Latu but it was South Sydney's day as the Rabbitohs got back to winning ways.
