The under 13s and 14s have made a strong start to the season and were sitting unbeaten after the first two rounds while the under 16s were still looking to open their account for the 2018 season.
The under 13s came out firing from the start of their game and were able to head into halftime with a 5-1 lead over the Panthers.
Five goals from striker Jawad Mohammad as well as two goals from Dominic Nardi and a goal apiece from Rocco Sergi and Gus Papasidero saw the Rhinos walk away convincing 9-1 winners.
The under 14s were also able to maintain their successful start to the season thanks to accuracy in front of goal from Mason Donadel.
Donadel was able to put away a hat-trick while Ryan Zannata scored a goal as the Rhinos came away with a 4-1 victory which keeps them at the top of the table in the under 14s division.
Unfortunately for the under 16s, it was a tough trip to Canberra as they fell to their third defeat of the season.
The side went into the break down 2-0 before Frank Pirrottina was able to find the back of the net but it wasn’t enough to spark the 16s as Monaro came away with a 5-1 win.
