An Emotional Rollercoaster 

A rollercoaster of emotions was felt by Reserves Coach, Chris Perry as he watched his boy’s 18 nil lead slip away to Western Lions, dominating 36 – 28. 
 
With key players, Zac Campbell and Jared Thorley sidelined with injuries, and a couple of players progressing up to A Grade, Chris believes the reason for the drop off was due to other variables.  

“We seem to go to sleep at times when in front instead of putting the foot down, and putting them away,” said Chris.

Players Player was awarded to Alex Lennox after his perseverance and determination shone through for 80 minutes on the field, with congratulations given for the big efforts displayed as a front rower.

Recognition was also awarded to Sem Ton and Jermaine Mclvor, turning back the clock and holding integral roles up front with Jermaine scoring two tries.

Chris believes the boys must maintain focus to produce better results in the future with other teams aiming for the Roosters’ spot on the ladder.

Throughout the game, tries were scored by Jermaine Mclvor (2), Brody Horan, Braithen Heron, Dominic Arrate, Jayden Sgarbossa, and Dylan Doak 6 from 6 goals.

In other reserve matches; Centrals defeated Brothers 28 – 18, Bowen just won against Charters Towers 13 – 12, and Souths destroyed Herbert River 36 – 8 with Norths having a bye.
