A handful of standout individual performances helped Wests, Bond, UQ and Brothers claim wins over the weekend.

Here are five noteworthy efforts from Round 3.

Martin Brennan – Easts

Debutant Martin Brennan could hardly have dreamt of a better opening to his Premier Grade career.

The young hooker crossed four times in his first game in the top grade as Easts fell just short of Wests at Bottomley Park.

Connor Vest – UQ

UQ’s lock was instrumental against Souths as the Student’s won a low scoring tussle.

Vest orchestrated the driving mauls for his side and was quick over the ball to secure a penalty that prevented Souths from scoring on half-time.

Hayden Sargeant – Bond

Bond University’s flyhalf played a decisive role in his sides hard earned victory against GPS on Saturday afternoon.

Sargeants’ ability to convert crucial penalty opportunities proved the difference between the two sides.

Tyler Adams – Brothers

The former Shute Shield MVP was at his attacking best in Brothers’ comprehensive victory over Norths on Saturday.

Adams used his fancy footwork and classy ball playing ability to set up his scrumhalf for a special try, while also grabbing a five pointer for himself.

Ethan Dobbins – Wests

Coach Elwee Prinsloo suggested Dobbins’ season thus far was deserving of higher honours.

The hooker backed up his coach’s call with an impactful performance in Wests first win of the season.

Dobbins put in a mountain of defensive work and was rewarded with a try in the left corner from a lineout set play.
