The Hounds remain the only undefeated team so far in season ’08, with the visiting Hounds outfit outlasting a spirited and injury decimated UQ Bulls side, 18-14.

With the Hounds holding a slight 10-6 half-time advantage, the Bulls charged away to a 14-10 advantage midway through the second stanza, before the loss of three players through injury allowed the Hounds to snatch a late victory.

Bulls fullback Wyatt Propsting (head), hooker Tom Crothers (ankle) and prop Brett Wolens were all taken to hospital for precautionary check-ups, allowing the Hounds to cross for a late try to Tim Sladden to secure the crucial two competition points.

In the other Round 2 match, the Griffith University Dragons made up for a lacklusture round one performance by recording a crushing 26-4 victory over the QUT Trouts at Griffith University’s Nathan campus.

It was a rusty first up performance for the Trouts after experiencing the first round bye, with the Dragons now moving into third position with their five tries to one victory.
