In the Real NRL Cessnock has smashed Port Stephens, while Wests came from behind to beat Souths.
The Lions opened the scoring with a long range effort, before an exchange between Beau Simpson and the Rosellas’ Joel Penny saw the sparks fly.
The elusive fullback got his revenge, proving impossible to stop from close range.
His opposite number Matt Ireland responded for South’s with a great solo effort from dummy half.
A West’s mistake handed Ireland a double shortly before the break, but it was the home side that had the last laugh.
