North West are in danger of slipping dramaticly down the ladder after a 20-20 draw with Ryde. Ryde were close to winning the match, holding the Kookaburras scoreless until the final quarter where thet snuck two late tries in the game to level.
Ryde: Alex Moore x2. Smith 2/3
North West: Sam Key, Lupina Kaufusi. Ferris 2/2
PoM: Alex Moore 3, Lee Harland 2, Nate Smith 1

A 79th minute try by Dean Payne has taken Sunshine Coast one step over rivel Hawthorn in their 24-20 clash. The Hurricanes blew the Wizards off the park in the first half but some dedication and hard work has paid off for the Wizards who verse The Entrance next round.
Sunshine Coast: Dean Payne, Scott Briggs, Brett Stewart. Sweeney 6/6
Hawthorn: Ryan Dwyer, Dimitri Pelo, Ben Jeffries. Tatu 4/5
PoM: Scott Briggs 3, Ryan Dwyer 2, George Carmont 1

Some poor goal kicking conditions have prevented a more harsh scoreline hitting Rabual in their 24-6 lost to Cairns. Rabual held the halftime lead but some tireless work from the White Pointers forwards finally broke the flood gate then it was on!
Cairns: Marshal Dalton, Jean-Emmanuel Cassin, Todd Olliver, Luke Cross, Ricky Bibey. Gordon 2/6
Rabaul: Lee Penny. Tutaki 1/1
PoM: Todd Olliver 3, Luke Cross 2, Nick Youngquest 1

Only one word can describe the Hunter Vs. Kensington clash and thats 'Jamie'. While Hunter sent Kensington down the ladder, it was Jamie McDonald, Jamie Feeney and Jamie Langley who caused the largest stir in the match, scoring a try each and snaring 3 PoM points between them.
Hunter: Brad Watts x2, Jamie McDonald, Jamie Langley, Jamie Feeney. Randall 5/5
Kensington: Elia Tuqiri. Opan 1/1
PoM: Brad Watts 3, Jamie Langley 2, Jamie McDonald 1

Some ill dicpline from Christchurch has severly punished the side and their chances to remain in the Top 8 in their 24-6 loss to Souths. The most noteable figure would be the 17-5 penality count against the Comets which too often gave the Magpies more then enough field posession.
Souths: Sema Metora x2, Tony Duggan, Kam Wilkinson. Rangihuna 4/6
Christchurch: David Fa'alogo. van Straaten 1/1
PoM: Sema Metora 3, Kam Wilkinson 2, Charlie Vis 1

Not even a super-sub effort from Trey Matthews could save the lowly Kandy Jesters in their 12-8 defeat against Balmain. With two of the Storm players changing clubs at the end of the week, it was always going to be hard game, especially with regular Oiler: Magro Boyd at the helm who finds himself off contract at the seasons end.
Balmain: Magro Boyd, Robbie Farah. Sullivan 2/2
Kandy: Erik Hollingsworth. Akiba 2/2
PoM: Trey Matthews 3, Magro Boyd 2, Julian Rinaldi 1

The Entrance Tigers still remain at the top of the R.S.C table with a 28-6 over longtime rival Birchgrove. The pistoleers didn't know where to fire as The Entrance continued some hot form which they are hoping to cross into the next round against Sunshine Coast.
The Entrance: Matt Riddle, Brian Tabuli, Romeo Magro, Habib El Muktar, Gareth Hock. El Masri 4/5
Birchgrove: Jeff Preston. Vassilakopoulos 1/1
PoM: Graeme Timms 3, Craig Simmons 2, Brian Tabuli 1

Keen to impress selectors, West Panthers put in pain over Pine River with a 18-0 scoreline. While there were many stand out players at the Panthers, selectors could look no further then Tom Learoyd who continues week after week to put the hard work and no-frills grit and grind into the forwards.
Wests: Luke O'Dwyer, Sam Perret, Daniel Heenan. Barnes 3/4
Pine River: N/A
PoM: Tom Learoyd 3, Lloyd Johansson 2, Daniel Heenan 1

Gisborne will be counting their lucky stars this week, with a less then average 18-14 win over Pork Kembla. While both sides fought hard to increase the scoreline, it was the Gisborne who really felt the heat with a disappointing 50% completion rate which will not impress coach Doug Allen at all.
Port Kembla: Raymond Ruaporo, Michael Greenfield. Thomas 3/4
Gisborne: Nathan Tutt, Marco Brividio, Braden Oake. Melling 3/4
PoM: Simeon Rice 3, Raymond Ruaporo 2, Marco Brividio 1

Go you Wizards. The best f/a in the RSC. :D

Common Hawthorne, the best rsc going the worst, they are the brisbane bulls of the rsc competition

damn i would have been fourth if my damn morals didn't get in the way!

See the thing is there Brisbane have a great side on paper, Hawthorne are only so so. I would not call them the Brisbane of the RSC.
