HONOURABLE MENTIONS

Levi Kugel (Gatton Reserves), Cameron Butcher (Newtown Reserves), Travis Babington (Dalby Reserves), Tanti Pipi (Pittsworth Reserves), Mitchell McMahon (Warwick Reserves), Shaun Hinch (Brothers U19s), Harry Eyers (Brothers U19s), Lachlan Clements (Wattles U19s), Hamish Gartery (Wattles U19s), Tanika Newton (Gatton Women), Jone Rarabalavu (Warwick A-grade) and Dylan Chown (Valleys A-grade) scored doubles for their respective teams at the weekend.

Jake Speed for Warwick.

10. Jake Speed (Warwick A-grade)

Speed by name and speed by nature – the Cowboys star continued his good run of form at the weekend.

The dynamic winger scored another double in his side’s 40-10 win over Brothers taking his try scoring total to 10 in his last six games.

9. Jackson Luscombe (Pittsworth A-grade)

Up against a hard running, big and mobile Oakey pack, Luscombe turned in a man of the match performance.

The Danes second rower was excellent in defence producing more than a few try saving tackles.

8. Nicholas Toeava (Pittsworth A-grade)

The hard running centre scored a key double in Pittsworth’s 20-18 win over Oakey.

Pittsworth crossed the line four times with Toeava scoring his side’s first and last tries of the match.

7. Lachlan Watt (Wattles A-grade)

His teammate Joseph Willet scored twice at the weekend, but Watt’s try was the decisive one against Highfields Eagles.

Watt’s 69th minute try gave Wattles a 20-18 lead and that’s how the scores remained.

6. Joseph Willet (Wattles A-grade)

The winger scored a key double in Wattles 20-18 win over Highfields.

5. Tahlia Marshall (Gatton Women)

Gatton picked up a big win over longtime rivals Newtown at the weekend and Marshall was in the thick of it.

The five-eighth scored three tries and expertly steered her team around the field in the Hawks 42-14 win.

4. Denzel Burns (Valleys A-grade)

Valleys picked up Burns in the off-season and he has quickly established himself as a key player.

The speedy centre scored three tries in the Roosters 48-16 win over Goondiwindi Boars.

3. Chris Woodbridge (Dalby A-grade)

The electrifying fullback is back in the form that made him the 2023 TRL Webcke Price Medallist.

Dalby fell short in their clash with Southern Suburbs Tigers, losing 32-22, but Woodbridge tried to drag his side over the line.

Woodbridge was a handful all game scoring three tries and kicking three conversions for the Diehards.

2. Andre Murray (Dalby U19s)

Murray was the star player in his side’s win against Southern Suburbs Tigers at the weekend.

The fleet-footed winger scored three of the Diehards’ four tries in their 20-4 victory at home.

1. Kristian Bond (Dalby Reserves)

Our number one player scored 10 points at the weekend and everyone of them was vital.

Lining up at centre Bond’s 70th minute try arguably sealed the win for his team, but he also made a key contribution with the boot.

With both sides scoring four tries each, Bond’s boot was the difference.

The talented centre kicked three of his four conversions to secure a 22-20 win for the Diehards.
