An impressive Tuggeranong delivered the injury-ravaged Queanbeyan Kangaroos a sobering defeat at Greenway Oval on Saturday as both sides took the field for the first time since 2019. After sitting out the trimmed-down 2020 Canberra Raiders Cup due to the COVID pandemic, it was the Bushrangers who rebounded best running out 36-12 winners and compounding the Kangaroos' early-season casualty ward. Already severely down on troops after a luckless preseason, returning coach Adam Taylor could only watch on helplessly as he lost young half Jayden McLaughlin and representative prop Aidan Woods in the opening 20 minutes. McLaughlin had been promoted to the top grade to cover for Tom Casey, who is facing an extended stint on the sideline after being told he needs finger surgery. "It's too hard to be critical of them considering we only had one fresh reserve and lost our halfback and front rower 20 minutes in," Taylor said.
