Watch the full replay in the player above.

First-half tries to second rower Guomoy Murphy and inspirational skipper Leo Fanuatanu laid the platform for success.

Emmaus managed to claw one back on the shadow of halftime to set up what promised to be a thrilling second half.

When play resumed, the teams got into the grind and there were plenty of big hits from both sides.

Neither side could find points until Braydon Wooler produced some individual brilliance to duck over in the 22nd minute to extend Grammar’s lead to 16-4.

Try as they might, Emmaus could not conjure up a response.

Grammar’s forward pack was strong, with a tireless effort from lock Luke Frame and some bone-jarring defence from second rower Sam Fahlstrom.

MATCH REPORT

It was a tale of two halves as Rockhampton Grammar got the points against Emmaus College in the NRL Schoolgirls Cup clash on Tuesday.

Grammar came out firing in their first game of the season, and stamped their authority in the first half.

Their skilful halfback Kyra Kent was pulling the strings, her precision passing and accurate kicking game putting the team into strong attacking positions.

Fullback Emmalena Ingui was proving a threat with ball in hand, with her speed and elusive running.

Grammar capitalised on their opportunities, storming to a 24-nil lead at halftime.

The break seemed to serve Emmaus well, and they looked a different team when they returned to the field for the second half.

They struck first with a well-deserved try to their hardworking hooker Hannah McCrohon.

They were dominating field position, and were rewarded with two more tries but they were unable to bridge the gap, going down 24-12.

Halfback Layney Jenkins and lock Isabelle Jensen were among the best on the beaten side.

PREVIEW

Rockhampton Grammar will bring class on the edges and muscle through the middle when they launch their Dolphins Cup campaign.

After a first-round bye, the team is ready to hit the ground running as it looks to go one better than last year in the elite schoolboys rugby league competition.

Grammar will tackle Emmaus College on Tuesday, June 10, as part of a massive triple header of schools league action which features the same schools battling it out in the Dolphins Challenge (Year 10) and NRL Schoolgirls Cup.

You can catch all the action, with all the games being exclusively live streamed on Kommunity TV.

Rockhampton Grammar co-coach Grant Broadhurst said his players were keen and “ready to rip in”.

“The boys are jumping out of their skin to play,” he said.

Rockhampton Grammar forward Xavier Not5 will be one to watch.

“At this stage, we can only worry about ourselves.

“Defence is going to be a big focus for us. If we work hard for each other, the rest will take care of itself.”

Broadhurst said the dynamic centre pairing of Leo Fanuatanu and Cormack Werner, who have both been snapped up by NRL clubs, would be instrumental to Grammar’s campaign.

Queensland Country under-17 rep Fanuatanu is a powerful ball runner who is aggressive in defence, while Werner can produce some bone-jarring hits and has an uncanny ability to break tackles.

Leo Fanuatanu is one of Grammar’s aces.

“They give us great strength on our edges but I’m really keen to see how our forwards stand up,” Broadhurst said.

“Xavier Nott and Luke Frame will be the ones to lead us in the middle.”

Broadhurst said Grammar would need to contain Emmaus’s lethal attacking combination of Will McLaughlin, Harri Meilland and Lathan McMeeken, who were on fire in their tough opening round loss to The Cathedral College.

Despite his team going down 20-14, Emmaus coach Mitchel Smith was happy with what his players produced – and wants to see more of the same moving forward.

Emmaus College lock Jack O'Neill was massive in his team’s opening game.

He praised the effort, resilience and toughness of his players and their willingness to keep showing up for each other.

“Inside our camp we do know we’ve got a pretty good football side and we’re a lot further ahead than we were at this time last year,” Smith said.

“We had our chances against TCC but we’ve just got to nail the big moments.

Emmaus prop Jacob Murphy played big minutes in the team's Dolphins Cup opener.

“If we play the same way, in the same style and with the same aggression, it will go a long way towards us getting the win against Grammar.”

Smith said he would be looking for another big performance from his inspirational lock Jack O’Neill and prop Jacob Murphy, who played big minutes against TCC.

“If those two can lead our forwards and get us going forward and doing all the tough stuff, it gives Lathan, Harri and Will the chance to do what they do best,” he said.
