HALFBACK Roan Frostwick made a triumphant return to his old stomping ground as Northern Suburbs defeated Warringah 30-16 in an extra time finals thriller at Pittwater Rugby Park on Sunday.

The sharp No.9 played every game with the Rats last season before moving to Norths for 2024, and Sunday was the first time he had been back to Narrabeen since his departure.

“I certainly have some good memories on this pitch - and it’s great to have another good one now with the boys,” Frostwick told Rugby News after the game.

“It’s definitely finals time, absolutely, and you could see that the way the game shaped out.

“We knew we were coming in for a battle, so we really got up for it and we knew our backs were up against the wall – they had a game in hand and we didn’t.

“So we were coming out fighting and I thought we did that to the end.”
