RED AND BLACK REPORT 2019: EDITION NO.1

March 18, 2019 / Will Evans

Each week the Red and Black Report will keep you up to date with how our Canterbury Rugby League products are performing in Australia’s elite and lower-grade competitions.

NRL

Aranui product and 2018 Dally M Rookie of the Year Jamayne Isaako kicked two goals and made 83 metres from 12 runs in the Brisbane Broncos’ season-opening loss to the Melbourne Storm on Thursday.

Isaako topped the NRL’s pointscoring charts last season, while also making his New Zealand Test debut.

Broncos halfack and Burnham Chevaliers junior Kodi Nikorima was criticised for his performance against the Storm, but ran for an impressive 111 metres.

Another Burnham junior, Jazz Tevaga, carried a heavy heart into the Warriors’ clash with the Canterbury Bulldogs on Saturday in the wake of the horrific tragedy in Christchurch.

But the 2018 Dally M Interchange Player of the Year was inspiring off the bench in the Warriors’ 40-6 romp, making 11 runs and a team-high 41 tackles – including a bell-ringer on Kieran Foran in the second half.

InTrust Super Cup

Former Mackay Cutters mainstay Nathan Saumalu was solid on the wing in the Sunshine Coast Falcons’ Round 1 win a week ago against Wynnum-Manly, but did not feature in the club’s convincing victory over Redcliffe.

 

Hastings Deering Colts 

Canterbury juniors Zinzan Martin and Daejarn Asi made their Under-20s debut together in Townsville Blackhawks’ 62-6 demolition of Ipswich in Round 1 last weekend. The three-quarter line duo lined up again in the Blackhawks’ 24-12 win over Tweed Heads in Round, with Martin scoring his side’s last try.

Jalen Tangiiti-Turner scored an opening-minute try in Wynnum-Manly Seagulls’ 22-18 victory against Sunshine Coast in Round 1 and also played in their 20-6 defeat of CQ Capras in Rockhampton on Saturday.
