Wondai Wolves fans, still recovering from the previous week’s encounter with Nanango, would have gone home a bit happier last weekend despite a loss to the Mundubbera Tigers.
The Wolves, reeling from their 102-0 nil defeat at the hands of the Stags on May 7, put on a much better display against the Tigers on Sunday afternoon.
The final score was 46-10.
There were times when the Wolves looked threatening, especially when they managed to get a bit of possession.
Last year’s Grand Finalists are rebuilding in 2016 after losing players to other teams and through retirement.
Mundubbera tries were scored by Luke Berthelesen (2), Brendan Augustine, Niko Kapene, Bodibo Lohia, Burt Beezley, Maraga Lohia, Bailey Kimber and Danyon Van Mierto. Kimber kicked four goals, and Bodibo Lohia one.
For Wondai, Jordan Gilbert scored two tries and Danny Alberts kicked one conversion.
In the other A Grade match played at the weekend, an under-manned Kingaroy side were defeated by Eidsvold on Saturday.
