New recruit Jensen Taumoepeau made his Hostplus Cup debut in style, helping Tweed to a 34-28 win over the Sunshine Coast on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Starring on the wing with a try, a line break, six tackle busts and 128 running metres in his first outing for the Seagulls, the 25-year-old wasn’t the only new Titan to impress with Jett Liu also contributing with 61 minutes up front – also making 128 metres with 50 of those post-contact.<\/p>\n
A solid start under new coach Joe O’Callaghan, Tweed next travel to Cairns to face the Northern Pride on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
It was equally impressive for Ipswich, who dominated from start to finish to shut-out the Blackhawks 30-0.<\/p>\n
Reigning Petero Civoniceva Medallist Oliver Pascoe was in the thick of the action with a dominant 80 minute performance at hooker, topping the tackle count with 33 tackles; as was Josh Patston who opened up the try-scoring account with an early four-pointer.<\/p>\n
The recently re-signed edge forward also notched up 142 running metres as well as a line break, line break assist and try assist after narrowing missing out on a Round 1 NRL berth.<\/p>\n
Tony Francis also started his Jets career with a strong showing after making the switch from Tweed over the off-season; laying on two tries and making three line breaks on the wing.<\/p>\n
Ipswich’s big win puts them on top of the ladder as they next face the Sunshine Coast Falcons in Hervey Bay on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New recruit Jensen Taumoepeau made his Hostplus Cup debut in style, helping Tweed to a 34-28 win over…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":528328,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-528327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/528328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
