ROUND FOUR WRAP + GALLERIES
Round four of the Harvey Norman Women’s Premiership saw new contenders emerge as one team solidified its place as the new competition favourites.
Here’s how the weekend panned out:
ST GEORGE 6-24 MANLY
Manly has rocketed into third place on the HNWP standings after a 24-6 victory over St George at Jubilee Oval.
In testing conditions the Sea Eagles were able to start fast and pile on the first three tries of the afternoon, before Jaimee-Lee Cotter helped the Dragons peg it back to 14-6 at the break.
Lavinia Tauhalaliku was able to complete her double soon after halftime, and the result was beyond doubt when Tanika-Jazz Noble scored 10 minutes from time.
WENTWORTHVILLE 28-0 CANTERBURY
Wentworthville has sent out its most emphatic statement of the season to date, shutting out Canterbury 28-0 at Ringrose Park.
Coming into the game with a flawless 3-0 record, a first half double to Alofa Schuster propelled the Magpies to a 16-0 lead.
Sarah Colman added a second try of her own to complete a personal 16-point haul as Wentworthville maintained its perfect start to 2024.
WESTS TIGERS 16-16 MOUNTIES
The Wests Tigers secured its first competition point of the season after a 16-all draw with Mounties at Campbelltown Stadium.
Chelsea Savill gave the Tigers a dream start inside 90 seconds, before Mounties hit back with two tries of their own.
Rebecca Pollard and Darcy Eade scored on either side of halftime to put the Tigers in front 16-8.
Brooke Wilkins was able to eat into the margin soon after, before Georgia Willey saw both sides split the points with a try 10 minutes from full-time.
CRONULLA 12-40 ILLAWARRA
Illawarra has posted 40 points for the third-straight week after smashing Cronulla 40-12.
A hot start saw the Steelers post six first half tries, including a double to Zali Yeo as they raced out to a commanding 32-0 advantage.
By the time Maria Paseka had her second of the day they pushed the margin out to 40, before Leki Leilua scored twice in four minutes to get the Sharks on the board.
PARRAMATTA 18-14 SOUTH SYDNEY
Parramatta has moved back into the hunt for the top four after downing South Sydney 18-14 at Eric Tweedale Stadium.
Daisy Gordon got the visitors on the board early, before Caitlin Peadon hit back to leave the two tied at 6-all at halftime.
Jaminey Weatherall and Kiana Takairangi push Souths in front 14-6 with 23 minutes to play.
The Eels responded when it counted, with Ryvrr-Lee Alo and Tafao Asaua scoring, and the accurate boot of Tallara Bamblett proving the difference in the end.
NEWCASTLE 26-22 CENTRAL COAST
Newcastle has pulled off the comeback of the season to down Central Coast 26-22 in the Hunter.
The Knights trailed 22-18 with less than two minutes remaining as Lilly-Ann White helped to tie up the scores on the back of a suspect offload from Fane Finau.
With the last play of the game and the siren sounding in the background, Finau proved the hero with an incredible 40m burst to streak through the defence and win the game at the death.
It put the finishing touches on a wild game that saw the Roosters twice come back from an eight-point deficit.
