Kangaroos Bounce Back To Take Crucial Victory

Kangaroos bounced back to winning ways to ensure they keep within reach of the top five.

After losses to Tumut and Young on the road, captain-coach James Smart was pleased with how the side overcame some personnel programs to produce a big win over winless Southcity at Equex Centre on Saturday.

"Down on troops right across the senior group after the week we had last week it's just nice to be back at home and get four grades up is great for the club," Smart said.

"We haven't been doing it easy at the moment.

"It's that middle of the year when you've got injuries, it's the middle of winter so a few guys are sick so it has made it tough on us but the guys hung in there.

"It wasn't a pretty win but it was gutsy."

There were only six points separating the two sides at half-time.

However Kangaroos were able to capitalise on a string of possession to score back-to-back tries to start the second half.

It sent them on the way to a 40-16 victory.
