Two Round 4 winners meet with different questions to answer. Western Sydney moved to three wins from four by beating Central 26 to 12, while Sydney recovered from consecutive defeats with a 24 to 18 victory over Melbourne.
The Bulls controlled 58 percent of possession against Thunder and gained 1,346 metres. Chaz Dingo scored twice, with Rayban Mops and Daniel Punch also crossing. Reproducing that supply of ball would force Sydney to withstand sustained pressure before building an attack of its own.
Aaron White offers the Wedgetails a route through a tight finish. He scored a try, kicked three conversions and added a late penalty against the Kings. Nicholas Eather contributed 189 metres, while Sonny Taia Jr ran for 186 metres and scored.
The contest to watch is possession against resilience. Sydney missed 47 tackles last round despite winning, and another loose defensive performance could be costly. For the Bulls, the challenge is to turn territorial control into points without giving White the chance to decide another close game.
