Eager to remain in the race for finals, Northern Pride dug deep to draw with Burleigh Bears in Harvey Norman Women in League Round, with Rashuan Denny scoring a double for his side.
The Pride centre, stoked with his double, said it was a "pretty tough game" - as it always was against the Bears - but he was glad his side stood up to the test.
"The Bears and Souths Logan are the benchmark at the moment," Denny, who had the names of eight family members on his strapping tape for Harvey Norman Women in League Round, said.
"We've come off the back of three losses and we really just want to keep building, hopefully get back into the eight for the finals."
Denny said finishing with a draw was bittersweet, but there were plenty of positive to be taken from the game.
"We can take heaps of positives out of it," Denny said.
"We'll just keep building for next week... we're back down here against Tweed, so we'll work on things next week and hopefully get a W.
"Hopefully we get some points on the board and keep scoring and then get back in the eight before the finals."
Bears winger Tony Francis also scored a double during the clash and was happy with his side's effort, but said discipline let them down a bit.
"It was really hard, tough game," Francis said.
"The first half was a bit of a grind. Full credit to Pride, they gave us a good run for our money, especially with us being one of the top teams.
"That was a really good game, really good competition."
Francis said the standouts for him were centre Kea Pere and Vaka Sikahele off the bench.
"Massive shout out to Kea, his carries were really good for us," Francis said.
"And Vaka came off the bench for us... his eno from the get go was good for the boys."
Francis said moving forward it was important the Bears showed more discipline.
"Discipline has let us down a lot the past couple of weeks with our errors and penalties but hopefully we get our discipline right for the next three games and go good for the finals."
