Easts Tigers and the Sunshine Coast Falcons were both back in action in Round 3 of the Intrust Super Cup on the weekend.

Bears too strong for Falcons at home

After a tight opening 40 minutes at Pizzey Park, Burleigh overran the Sunshine Coast Falcons with a three try second half performance.

Forced to defend for long periods, Sunshine Coast absorbed the Bears' attacking pressure, hanging in the contest just four points in arrears at half-time.

Eventually Burleigh's weight of possession and pressure proved too much for the visitors with a strong second half performance handing the Bears their first win of 2015.

Tigers triumph in soggy conditions

Easts Tigers recorded their second win of the 2015 season on Saturday afternoon defeating the PNG Hunters in wet conditions at Langlands Park.

With the torrential rain providing a slog through the middle of the park, the hosts prevailed in a tight contest displaying their clinical finishing ability on both edges.

The Melbourne Storm listed duo of Richie Kennar and Mahe Fonua both got on the scoresheet once again, with Fonua scoring for the third consecutive weekend in the Intrust Super Cup. Playmaker Shaun Nona was also influential, not only heavily involved in the build up to both tries but also booting three goals.

The victory takes the Tigers to seventh on the Intrust Super Cup ladder. Next weekend, Easts will travel to to Mackay to take on the Cutters on Saturday night.
