The Norths Devils continued their impressive form in the Hostplus Cup with a victory last weekend, making it three wins from as many matches and establishing themselves as the team to beat.
Blake Paskins stood out with a double, showcasing his versatility in the backline.
Despite the muddy conditions, both teams displayed creativity in their attacks, providing an entertaining match.
Northern Pride fullback Jarret Subloo impressed with 250 metres, a try, and four tackle busts.
Lazarus Vaalepu of the Sunshine Coast Falcons also had a standout performance, running for 150 metres off the bench in just 14 hit ups.
The condensed round saw only five matches take place, but the quality of play remained high.
The Norths Devils' dominance at the top of the ladder sets them up well for the rest of the season.
