CONSTABLE Cameron Treloar has been dispensing some summary justice on the northern beaches this week.

The former NSW Waratahs, Queensland Reds and Warringah Rats stalwart is now a general duties officer based at Dee Why.

And he took no prisoners playing for the Manly Sea Eagles against the Eastern Suburbs Wombats in the NSW Police rugby league competition at Rat Park on Wednesday.

Playing in the front row, Treloar was the standout performer, in only his second senior game of rugby league, with his hit-ups and physical defence in a willing game won by Easts 12-10.

In the first half, a Wombat forward was on the end of a fierce tackle from Treloar and hooker Ben Wrigley.

It was a fair cop but the wobbly Wombat had to be assisted from the field and did not return.

“I played league up to the under-10s in Cooma but not since then,” Treloar said.

“l loved it, you miss that contact in the middle and the niggle and feeling fit.”

Treloar, who played 12 years and 120 first-grade games for the Rats, was initially caught by surprise at just how much the teams get stuck into each other.

“I kind of expected that we are all police and will give each other a hug, but there is biffo, there is everything,” he said.

Sea Eagles coach and recently retired police superintendent Craig Sheridan said Treloar was “absolutely unbelievable” playing the full game without a break.

Former Peninsula Seagulls and Valley A grade star Jai Jones was a dominant performer playing in the halves, setting up both of Manly’s tries.

His old Valley teammates Dave Cox and Tim Pont also got through a mountain of work in the torrid forward exchanges.
