RUGBY LEAGUE: It was an afternoon of extremes at Frank McGuren Field as representative teams wowed a decent crowd on a wet afternoon.

Opening the day's action, the Northern Rivers Titans extended their undefeated run in the Andrew Johns Cup (under-16) competition putting a half century on the North Coast Bulldogs.

The side, coached by Grafton's Shaun Davison, was unstoppable with the ball in hand but it was their never say die attitude in defence that truly impressed the healthy crowd.

His efforts were hard to deny for coach Davison, with Gallagher switched to halfback to finish off the game when first choice dummy-half Oskar Bryant returned to the field.
