⚫️⚪️ Warwick Water Rats 12 def by Goondiwindi Emus 19 ⚪️⚫️

The Warwick Water Rats travelled to Goondiwindi for a rematch of last year’s Grand Final, unfortunately falling 19-12 in a result that had a strangely similar feel. Much of the first half was spent defending with possession hard to come by, but when the Rats did have ball in hand they looked sharp, and the set piece showed positive signs throughout the match.

An exciting highlight came early with a chargedown try to Hamish Swift, while veteran Brad Johnson added a sneaky pick-and-drive try in the second half to keep the contest alive.

Player of the Match goes to Sekove “Scoby” Nabili for his fearless efforts on both sides of the ball. With ball in hand, he consistently found ways through the defensive line to get the Rats on the front foot.

Special mentions also to Alosio “Abel” Abele for another powerhouse performance in the midfield, delivering bone-crunching defence while also breaking the line with ball in hand. Hamish Swift impressed at halfback with his opportunistic try from a chargedown and smart distribution around the ruck, while Tom Gillespie organised the side well at flyhalf, helping to shut down opposition attacks and unlock opportunities out wide.

Tries:
Hamish Swift
Brad Johnson

Conversions:
Tom Gillespie

Next weekend the Water Rats enjoy a well-earned break. The squad has worked hard through the opening half of the season and currently sits 3rd on the ladder.

⚫️⚪️ Warwick Water Rats 40 def Dalby Wheatmen 0 ⚪️⚫️

The Warwick Water Rats celebrated Sponsors' Day in style with a 40-0 victory over the Dalby Wheatmen at home. It was a fast-flowing game full of excitement, although at times the pace worked against the Rats, with some loose ball creeping into the performance. The boys reined things in after the break, tidying up key areas of their game and continuing to build pressure as the scoreboard kept ticking over.

Player of the Match was a very close contest this week, but the 3 points go to returning Water Rat Charlie Brennand. Directing the side from flyhalf, Charlie provided excellent leadership and direction throughout the match. His reliable kicking repeatedly got the team out of trouble and marched the Rats upfield, while his dependable hands helped unleash the dangerous backline.

A close second this week was Alosio "Abel" Abele. A constant threat with ball in hand, Abel made multiple line breaks and crossed for two tries of his own. His defensive efforts were equally impressive, combining sharp game awareness, athleticism and technique to produce several highlight-reel tackles.

One point this week goes to Jone "John" Donato. Back in his preferred position at inside centre, he was given more room to attack the defensive line and formed a dangerous combination with Abel in the midfield. He also continued his strong try-scoring form with a well-earned try of his own.

Tries:
Louw Wiid
Josh Sovau
Alosio Abele (2)
Jone Donato
Ratu Sekove Nabili

Conversions:
Charlie Brennand (5)

Next week the Rats travel to Goondiwindi for a rematch of last year's Grand Final against the Emus.

⚫️⚪️ Warwick Water Rats 10 def by St George Frillies 17 ⚪️⚫️

The Warwick Water Rats hosted the St George Frillies for our Cultural Round, going down 17-10 in another hard-fought clash between the two sides. As always, it was an extremely physical contest, with the scoreline remaining tight throughout the afternoon.

Player of the Match goes to Kaveni Serewai for his immense work rate and ability to consistently create opportunities with the ball in hand.

Special mentions also to Captain Louw Wiid for another outstanding display of leadership through his tireless effort across the park, Corne Maritz for making a strong impact off the bench with some physical defensive efforts, and Hamish Swift for his reliable service and accuracy from the base of the ruck.

Tries:
Hamish Swift
