Having played in the Canberra Raiders NSW Cup side earlier this year, Manase Kaho joined the Belconnen United Sharks for part of the Canberra Raiders Cup season.

Kaho only played three games for the Sharks but made a huge impact. He scored seven tries in those three games, including a four try haul in the round eight match against the Woden Valley Rams.

Queanbeyan Kangaroos centre David Fale also made a strong impact in limited games this season.

The 21-year-old played seven first grade games, four in the centres and three in the winger position.

Fale was awarded three points for his performance in the round three clash against the Woden Valley Rams.
