NRL
Burnham Chevaliers junior Jazz Tevaga returned from a one-week injury layoff to feature off the bench in the Warriors’ disappointing 32-0 loss to the Roosters – his 22nd NRL appearance
The versatile Tevaga rotated with starting hooker Karl Lawton and made 25 tackles.
Aranui product Jamayne Isaako scored a try and kicked four goals in Brisbane’s surprise 38-24 loss to Manly. The rookie winger is sixth in the NRL’s pointscoring race with 81 (four tries, 32 goals, one field goal).

INTRUST SUPER PREMIERSHIP NSW
After several weeks starring in local Fox Memorial Shield action in Auckland, Tevin Arona started at halfback in the Warriors’ 11-0 reserve grade loss to Western Suburbs.
With Shaun Johnson and Mason Lino battling injuries, the former Hornby and Rockcote Canterbury Bulls star could incredibly come into contention for an NRL debut in coming weeks.

Dropping out of Wests Tigers’ first-grade line-up, Pita Godinet was Arona’s opposing halfback while Halswell junior Matt McIlwrick was at hooker for the Magpies.
Hornby old boy Fa’amanu Brown moved from hooker to halfback for Canterbury’s ISP side on the weekend, kicking four goals in a 21-20 loss to St George Illawarra.
The utility – unlucky not to play more first grade for the Bulldogs this season – is strongly rumoured to be in the Sea Eagles’ sights.
