Match of the Round: Tuggeranong Bushrangers v Goulburn Workers Bulldogs
3pm, Saturday May 4 – Greenway
Heading into Round 4 only two sides have a 100% winning record this season but that will come to an end after this weekend.
The Tuggeranong Bushrangers have beaten both Belconnen sides in the opening two rounds but they haven’t been easy matches as they beat the Sharks by two points last Saturday.
Jarrad Kennedy has begun life at Tuggeranong in fine form as the Bushrangers have found plenty of joy down the right edge with Kennedy and Drury Low combining well.
Izzy Titor makes his debut for the Goulburn Workers Bulldogs replacing injured captain Matt Worboys. The new recruit will be given the task of containing Kennedy in what is set be an intriguing matchup.
Goulburn have been impressive in dispatching the Queanbeyan Kangaroos, Yass Magpies and Woden Valley Rams and will be looking for yet another win. If they do achieve it, the Bulldogs will have matched their number of 2018 wins.
James Aubusson and Haydon Hodge lead the try scoring tallies early this season with the duo both scoring five tries a piece.
