  Thanks, Costo. Round three in the NRL Northern Territory was shush for kids round.
• 0:05
  Just let them play. Keep it fun, keep it positive, and think before you speak.
• 0:09
  They were the key messages of the round. And in the Dabsco men's premiership,
• 0:14
  the South Darwin Rabbitohs, they were without their Gove United contingent,
• 0:18
  and they struggled against the defending Premier's brothers.
• 0:20
  The brethren made light work of the bunnies to extend their record to 3-0 to start the season.
• 0:26
  The final score, Brothers 44, the Rabbitohs nil.
• 0:29
  Out at Weber Park, the Litchfield Bears, they were unable to convert their home
• 0:33
  ground advantage into a win.
• 0:35
  The Northern Sharks making the competition sit up and take notice,
• 0:39
  they secured a 23-14 victory and they keep their perfect start to the season intact.
• 0:45
  It's amazing to think that this Sharks team is comprised of pretty much the
• 0:49
  same squad that missed the finals last season.
• 0:51
  They're now the competition pace setters along with brothers and at Raiders
• 0:55
  Park in our live stream game the Palmerston Raiders got out to a nice lead before
• 1:00
  they invited the Nightcliffe Dragons back into the game to be locked up at 14 all at halftime.
• 1:06
  Halftime was just what the Raiders needed and they responded in the best possible
• 1:10
  way to coach Chuck Norris's call.
• 1:13
  The Raiders veteran halfback Bradley Hansen combining well with his hard running
• 1:17
  lock forward in Blake Blomley to dissect the Dragons in the second half.
• 1:22
  The Raiders, they regained their discipline and their composure.
• 1:25
  They ran out 38 to 14 winners.
• 1:27
  So the ladder after round three in the Dabsco Premiership stands at Brothers
• 1:32
  and Sharks on top with six points each and a 3-0 record.
• 1:36
  The Bears, Rabbitohs and Raiders, they're all on two points with one win and a two loss record.
• 1:42
  And the Nightcliffe Dragons now sit alone at the bottom of the table with no points.
• 1:47
  You get the feeling that the competition still hasn't settled yet and the latter
• 1:50
  will continue to bounce around for the next few weeks.
• 1:54
  While over in the Truflo Service's Women's Premiership, brothers continued on
• 1:59
  their merry way, this time disposing of the Rabbitohs 58-8.
• 2:03
  Talia Corrie picked up three tries for the Brethren. However,
• 2:06
  the Rabbitohs did well just to break the brothers' line.
• 2:09
  They crossed for two tries. The Litchfield Bears, they've now scored back-to-back
• 2:13
  wins this week, grinding out a 24-6 win over the Northern Sharks with the Lichetti
• 2:19
  sisters leading the Bears around Webber Park.
• 2:21
  Whilst in our live stream game, the Palmerston Raiders, they
• 2:24
  built an impressive lead against the nightcliff dragons before
• 2:28
  the dragons big four of tamati misob rasaku
• 2:31
  and phillips they clicked into gear to turn the
• 2:34
  tables and in school and score an impressive 22 to
• 2:37
  18 comeback victory the true flow services women's premiership ladder after
• 2:41
  round three brothers now three and oh record six points on top will anyone be
• 2:46
  able to stop the sisters this season the dragons and the bears both on four
• 2:50
  points with just a one loss the raiders and the Sharks, they're on two points,
• 2:54
  and the Rabbitohs, yet to record a win so far in 2026.
• 2:58
  Next week, round four, all games will be back at TRL Stadium.
• 3:02
  This is the premier rectangle stadium in the top end. It's a great facility,
• 3:06
  and we'll get to see the Bears take on the Rabbitohs.
• 3:09
  Brothers will clash with the Raiders, and the Sharks, they will challenge the Dragons.
• 3:14
  Talking about these games in the Dabsco men's premiership, this will see the
• 3:17
  Bears, last year's minor premiers, they're still chasing their second win for the season.
• 3:22
  They're trying to overturn their slow start to the season.
• 3:25
  The Rabbitohs, they will be hoping Gove United, they're hoping that contingent
• 3:29
  will fly in and be a part of next week's game.
• 3:31
  The destructive runners available to the Rabbitohs, such as Maialangi,
• 3:35
  Kolomotangi and the Afiaki brothers, they combine so well when there's the full contingent in town.
• 3:41
  And the brothers and Raiders, this will probably be the match of the round.
• 3:46
  Undefeated brothers up against the Raiders who put together an impressive 60
• 3:51
  minutes against the Dragons.
• 3:52
  The Raiders definitely will have to play the full 80 minutes at that level if
• 3:57
  they are to challenge the Brethren.
• 4:00
  And the Sharks v. Dragons. The Sharks 3-0 and the Dragons 0-3.
• 4:04
  I'm really looking forward to see the Sharks play live for the first time this
• 4:08
  season as they've just been so impressive.
• 4:11
  The Dragons have got so many quality players across the field,
• 4:14
  but they've let themselves down in the discipline department.
• 4:17
  They need to fix that and they need to fix it fast if they want to get their season back on track.
• 4:23
  And Kosto, a reminder that you can join me and the team for our coverage of
• 4:27
  the NRL NT each Saturday evening on Community TV.
• 4:31
  And, Costo, I look forward to giving you a full rundown next time we speak.
