Illawarra Steelers' Tarsha Gale side smash Canberra Raiders at Mollymook

After chalking up 176 points through the first three win against Parramatta, South Sydney and the Sydney Roosters’ Indigenous Academy, the Daniel Lacey coached Steelers went even better in round four.

Led by five tries between Lily-Rose Bennett and Taneisha Roberts, the Steelers started their riot in the 16th minute.

Both Roberts and Maddison Weatherall crossed over to score in the 16th minute before Bennett added the team’s third in the 18th minute.

Canberra hit back with a try of their own in the 20th minute through Emylee Hawke but that was as close as the Green Machine got.

Weatherall crossed for second in the 21st minute, followed by tries to Abbey Montgomery (23rd minute), Weatherall (24th), Abby Holmes (25th), Bennett (26th) and Bronte Girdler (30th) – to make 58-6 at half-time.

The hosts in red and white didn’t slow down in the second, as Brown (33rd), Bennett (33rd), Brown (42nd) Roberts (45th) and Michaela Scutts (48th) crossed before the Raiders scored their second of the contest.

The visitors then scored two quick tries, through Emily Hoffman and Mackenzie Dodds in the 52nd and 55th minute respectively.

But the Steelers would have the last laugh, with Maddison Weatherall scoring the game’s final try in the 59th minute.

After Bronte Girdler landed her 10th conversion of the afternoon, it made the final score 80-16.

This result leaves the Steelers in second place on the ladder, behind only the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks on for and against.
