6-4

Tigers have come here to play.

They are moving well.

Elijah Taylor is a great player that Tigers have brought in the last couple of weeks.

What does it say about a team when we recruit Elijah Taylor from Panthers NSW Cup team and within 2 weeks he's our best player?

[Graham]

20 minutes played of the first half.

Open game

Plenty of metres being made by both sides.

[Graham]

Soft penalty

Broncos going for goal

I like Elijah Taylor. Solid player. Have no idea what went wrong at the Panthers, but decent pick up for the Tigers. Wests kicking game is awful and Brooks and Moses for me are very overrated-dont see the hype in either of them. Wests should get rid of one if not both. Tigers going OK but really need to put more pressure on the inexperienced Broncos and make them struggle more.

[Graham]

Is it too early to say Tigers are looking good?

[Graham]

Exciting bit of play there with a Tigers break.

Broncos having to dig deep to hold on

[Graham]

Brooks is having a good spell, testing the desperate Broncos defenders.

[Graham]

Brooks pass to Simona who scores a sweet try

Tigers good go forward and finally a decent kick that builds pressure. Just need to stay patient and keep applying the pressure and the points will come. Tigers just need to sort the kicking out as 3 or 4 poor kicks has allowed Broncos off the hook. Great hit by Ben Hunt. 

[Graham]

10-8

Rankin hooked the ball through the middle

12-8 Tigers

[Graham]

Tigers forwards on top.

[Graham]

4 minutes to half time.

Tigers look likely to score again

[Farmduck]

Notice the "English Billy Slater" gets pushed back about 5m in every tackle.

[Graham]

Brooks reminds me of Mark Aston

[Graham]

Naiqama over but obstruction in build up

[Lounge Room Lizard]

Brooks finally got his kicking game sorted. Tigers just need to be patient. Dont panic. The Tigers are hurting the Broncos in attack and defence. Tigers need to stay calm and the points will come late in the second half when the Broncos will be very tired

[Farmduck]

Speaking of people from C....... I think Jack Reed is from Airedale or Aireford. I guess that's where Airedales were invented.

 

[Graham]

Bunker looking at put down

Surely no try????

What's the bunker playing out

Slow thinking

That was so slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

pathetic.

[Graham]

There's two Airedales

There's the beautiful Yorkshire dale with countryside and fresh air, and then there's Airedale an estate of C*s

[Graham]

Last five minutes of the half has been messy and broken up.

Tigers well on top though

Broncos lucky to be only 4 points down

[Graham]

Ref blew his half time whistle before the hooter went.

He's a mind reader...... or puddled.
