Round 12 of the TRL was wild to say the least.

From 50 plus point blowouts to absolute nailbiters to a draw and a one-point win, we’ve taken a look across all A-grade, Reserve-grade, Women’s and U19s games to find our top 10 performances.

10. Dwayne Duncan (Valleys Roosters A-grade)

While he didn’t cross the line for a four-pointer, the centre more than contributed with the boot, kicking 8/9 from the spot in his side’s 32-point win over the Tigers.

9. Charles Plotez (Souths Tigers Under-19s)

The centre couldn’t have down much more for his side in their 18-point loss at the weekend. Plotez kicked six from the tee and crossed for two tries.

8. Nicholas Chapman (Warwick Cowboys A-grade)

In a losing performance the fullback was by far the best on ground.

Scoring two four pointers and kicking a perfect 6/6, Chapman’s heroics weren’t enough as his side went down to Highfields 40-36.

7. Will Batten (Souths Tigers U19s)

Crossing for a hat-trick of tries, the lock was a key player in his team’s 26-point win over the Bears at the weekend.

5. Matthew Williams (Valleys Roosters U19s)

Continuing his blistering President’s Cup form, the lock crossed for an incredible four tries in his side’s 40-point win over the Danes.

4. Jaren Bender (Valleys Roosters Reserve-grade)

Coming in off the bench Bender’s performance was the definition of clutch.

Scoring two tries and kicking 4/4 from the dot, Bender’s heroics came in the final minute of the game when he slotted a one point field goal, leading his team to a 25-24 win over the Danes.

3. Christopher Woodbridge (Dalby Diehards A-grade)

Seemingly unstoppable at this point, Woodbridge had another great day out at the weekend. Up against Wattles, the fullback scored a hat-trick and kicked 4/7 in his side’s much needed 36-12 victory.

2. Preston Alberts (Toowoomba Brothers A-grade)

Despite the pressure and the enormity of the occasion, the halfback kept his cool and kicked his team to their first win of the season.

Slotting 7/7 from the spot and kicking one penalty goal, Alberts led his side to a 44-42 win over Newtown Lions.

1. Antonia Vito (Oakey Bears Women)

In a ruthless display of attacking prowess, Vito crossed the line an astonishing six times at the weekend.

The centre contributed 24 points or 38 per cent of her teams 62 points in their 62-0 drubbing of the Tigers.
