Panthers Roar in the Battle of the CatsPanthers Roar in the Battle of the Cats
The age old question of who win in the jungle between a Panther and Tiger was decided on Saturday at Portland Recreation ground in the RLN Scott Electrical Premiership, Round 5 game, with the Portland Panthers hosting the Moerewa Tigers. The Tigers went in favourites, undefeated with a gigantic 156+ point differential, the Panthers had come off a nail biting loss.
Within 15 minutes it looked as if the Tigers were the ones who going to roar the loudest with three quick tries. Dave Bristow’s Tigers looked like a slick jungle predator, as all three tries were scored through well worked back line play, that had more decoys than a Maemae during duck hunting season, as the Tigers went out to a 14 – 6 lead. However, the Panthers showed a lot of resilience and tenacity as they fought their way back into the game to go into half time evens at 14 all.
The second half was all the Panthers as their forward pack steam-rolled the Tigers. The Panthers put on a scintillating display of team work as their pack ate up yard after yard allowing their backs room to move to come away winners 30 – 18.
In another top of the table clash, the Hikurangi Stags suffered their first defeat at the hands of the Hokianga Pioneers 40 – 32. The Pioneers who had only one victory to their name before the weekend showed a disciplined display of power to overcome the Stags.
In another shock to the table, the Horahora Broncos had their first win over the Otangarei Knights 18 – 14 in a physical arm-wrestle. The win showing the Broncos faithful, that hard work will pay dividends in the end. The Broncos have worked hard in the off season to develop strength in numbers as they also field a team in the Championship competition and till last weekend it looked as if their work may have been to the detriment of the Premiership team.
Takahiwai had to work hard for their 32 – 30 win over Muriwhenua to remain on equal top of the table. While the Northern Wairoa Bulls showed that they will be strong come the business end of the season with an emphatic 80 – 10 thumping of the Kerikeri Makos.
The resulting outcome from the weekend sees a top of the table stacked with four teams on 8 points. The Tigers remain in first place on points differential with Takahiwai followed by Hikurangi and Portland, they are followed by another four teams log jammed on four points , Northern Wairoa, Otangarei, Muriwhenua and Hokianga followed by Horahora and Kerikeri looks almost a certainty for the wooden spoon.

The Junior League competition kicked off properly on Sunday the 11th of May across Northland, with growth in most grades. It was a big day at Lindvart Park in Kaikohe with the Joint venture clubs of Otaua Valleys – Tautoro Titans having a celebration day to unveil their new playing stripe.
The day was a real celebration of a community Rugby League spirit, with all the Mid to Far North clubs turning up on mass. Games were played on an immaculately presented Lindvart Park, where the 7s, 9s and 11s played. Across the road at Northland College the 13s, 15s and 18s played with Northern Wairoa Bulls and the Otangarei Knights 15s making the trip up to join the festivities.
Down at the Bluegoose in Whangarei, it was also another big day of league with 38 teams – close to 500 kids all playing at one venue. Rugby League at youth level in Northland has come a long way. Four years ago there was no structured kids competition and yesterday we had 57 teams playing, with close to 1,000 kids participating across the North and South competitions.
Our Clubs are working together to develop and present league as one united community and the results are paying off. Most clubs have a full complement of Minis and Mod Teams – and the International grades are growing too, we have 12 teams across Northland in the 13s; 8 teams in the 15s; and 6 teams in the 18s.
Below is a selection of photographs from the games hosted at Lindvart Park and Bluegoose – more pictures are available on our Gallery, with all pictures from both venues on our Facebook page.
