A BMD Premiership and NRLW star quietly going about her business and a Match of the Year contender headline the Toowoomba Rugby League round 6 talking points from Saturday night.

Sim-ply that good

With zero fanfare or star treatment, a former Rugby Sevens gun and BMD Premiership star has been quietly going about her business in the TRL Toowoomba Sports Club Women’s comp this season.

Georgia Sim, who made her NRLW debut for Gold Coast Titans last year, is one of the competition’s leading players with five tries from six games.

Only Chontelle Orcher (Brothers, 7) and Morgan Prentice (Highfields, 6) have more tries than the flying Southern Suburbs Tigers fullback this season.

Tigers have struggled for consistency this season.

They are the only team to beat high-flyers Brothers this season and they thrashed Gatton in round 3.

Those wins have been offset by four defeats and they sit in the bottom half of the table, however they are a legitimate threat to any team whenever Sim is on the field.

Averaging 105m per game and making 44 tackle in her debut BMD Premiership season, Sim tormented opposition defences last year.

She has the experience and ability to turn half chances into tries and will no doubt finish near the top of the points scoring table if Souths can stay in more games this season.

Sim crossed for a double in her side’s 24-16 loss to Pittsworth on Saturday night.

Oakey were too good for Dalby in the other women’s game – notching up a 18-4 win.

Kiara Taylor scored her fifth try of the season for Bears in the match.

Bears hang on

For Oakey’s Ash Taylor and Dalby’s James Galligan it was a ‘coach killer’ the type of match that – win, lose or draw – stresses a coach beyond their years and leaves them with more questions than answers.

League fans however were treated to a spectacle with Oakey Bears hanging on for a 38-24 win against Dalby Diehards away from home.

Both coaches will walk away from this one wondering what happened to their teams in a what a clichéd game of two halves.

After winger Oakey Charlie Adam scored in the 9th minute it was all one-way traffic with Bears leading 32-0 at halftime.

When Fine Faingaa scored just a minute after the break – Dalby look destined to suffer another 40 minutes of torment.

Faingaa’s try however was the last time Oakey would trouble the scorers.

A try in the 45th sparked something in the Dalby ranks and the home team went on to score 20 more unanswered points in the next 25 minutes.

It wasn’t enough however with Oakey holding on for the win.

Sam Fermor, the brother of Gold Coast Titans star and Origin hopeful Beau, scored Dalby’s last try in the 69th minute.

Warwick easily accounted for Souths in the other match.

Cowboys five-eigtht Nate Davis scored a double in his side’s 42-18 win.
