Gold Coast Titans rake Aaron Booth played a handy role in the Burleigh Bears' demolition of the Norths Devils at Pizzey Park, taking down the defending premiers 54-18 on Sunday.
The No. 9 topped the tackle count with 19 in his first starting appearance of the year for the Hostplus Cup side - although, there wasn't much time for defence with the ten try romp put on by the current ladder leaders.
Fellow Titans Alofiana Khan-Pereira and Herman Ese'ese were also among the points scorers, both bagging four-pointers in the complete performance.
It was a tough loss for the Tweed Seagulls against the Mackay Cutters, going down 24-22 in their Round 12 clash at home on Saturday afternoon.
Both affiliate teams now have a bye this coming weekend before the Bears face the Pride in Cairns; meanwhile, the Seagulls travel to Rockhampton to face the Capras.
