NRL
Aranui product Jamayne Isaako continued his late-season form resurgence with a key role in Brisbane’s vital win over North Queensland on Thursday.
The winger made a long break to brilliantly set up the opening try for Anthony Milford, as well as kicking three goals and racking up 154 metres in the nail-biting 18-14 win.

Again starting in his less-favoured position of hooker, Burnham Chevaliers junior Jazz Tevaga was one of the heroes of the Warriors’ stunning 24-16 upset of Manly.
The utility racked up 41 tackles and forced his way over for the match-sealing try from dummy-half.
