QLD Premier Rugby: Bond lose Corbin Kiernan for crucial clash against Easts
Bond’s chances of returning to the QLD Premier Rugby finals in 2019 have been dealt a massive blow, with star centre Corbin Kiernan set for a long stint on the sideline after dislocating his shoulder.
Kiernan has been one of the form players of the competition in the opening three rounds, proving near impossible to contain in the midfield.
The Gold Coast side were impressive in the opening 30 minutes of their clash against GPS in round three.
Bond led 15-0 at the break and looked in control at Yoku Rd, before leaking 26 unanswered points in the second half in a 26-15 loss.
“We take a lot of positives from the performance, especially the way we started in that first half,” an optimistic Bond coach Brad Harris told Rugby News.
“That said, when we reviewed the game we identified plenty of areas where we can improve.”
“I don’t think we controlled the game well in the second half and we seemed to fall away from our systems when we were under press
