[THE RED ROOSTER]

On a knife edge

Gold Coast v Wests - AJ Brimson back for Titans and they can score points.

Sea Eagles v Dolphins - Silvertails Turbo charged wheras Dolphins have a few out

St George-Illawarra v South Sydney - Was I tempted to go Dragons but this is at Kogarah and not the 'gong and that does make a difference.

Roosters v Penny Panthers - No Nathan Cleary makes this closer than it would have been

Melbourne Storm v Cronulla Sharks - Sharkies blew their Top 4 audition last week and I do not see a win in Victoria.

Bulldogs v Paramatta EEls - Dylan Browns suspension is a problem for the Eels but I have been bitten too often by tipping the Dogs on here so Ells it is.

Last weeks wowser team The Cows are on a bye week

Good luck with your tips

Thursday’s R15 match:

A hard match to confidently tip.

The Wests Tigers side is looking both on paper and on the park.

As TRRooster says, Titans do have the players to trouble the scorers too.

This intriguing game has kicked off.

[Graham]

Titans at home looking for consistency.

Tigers had a slow start to the season but have shown improvement recently.

[Graham]

The big Titans forwards are showing Tigers they mean business with some strong tackling.

[Graham]

Stimson came close there but the ball came loose .

Titans used and lost their captain’s challenge.

[Graham]

Tigers errors in early play giving good territory to Titans

[Graham]

So far Titan have had it largely their way.

Tino F on report belatedly for the earlier tackle on Korosoi … about 5 minutes earlier. There doesn’t seem to have been any foul play but there must have been s o m e head contact if there’s blood.

[Graham]

Latest score 4-4

Titans scored first … a try by Stimson unconverted.

 

[Graham]

Klemmer barged over for Tigers.

Goal kicked successfully 

6-4 Tigers

This after Titans had been dominating possession and territory. They’d been forcing errors from the Tigers to.

Suddenly though in one push Tigers take the lead!

 

[Graham]

Quarter of an hour of the first half remaining 

[Graham]

Korosoi suspected fractured jaw!

Hope not but that’s sad news.

[Graham]

Brimson looking dangerous on the ball every time he touches it.

Haas bursts through for a Titans try after great ball play from the Titans confused the Tiger. 
Brooks nearly tied himself in a knot there.

[Graham]

Boyd kicks the goal this time.

10-6 Titans

[Graham]

There didn’t seem to be any bad intent by Tino against Korosoi but there must have been some heavy contact to damage K’s jaw.

Accidental or what?

Maybe we’ll see it again at half time.

[Graham]

Tigers have been their own worst enemies making handling errors.

Ref missed an offside there surely?

[Graham]

This hasn’t been a top quality game so far but it’s been close and worth watching.

[Graham]

Wow that was g o o d.. Brimson should have been decked but no he recovered and set up a try for Jayden Campbell.

Brimson has starred in this half.

[Graham]

16-6 Titans

5 minutes to half time.

Tiger’s defence has been shaky near their own line.

[Graham]

2 for 1 special their as one on one steals take place, one after another, ###### for tat as they say.

[Graham]

I’ve been censored!

[Graham]

Confirmed, sadly Api Korosoi’s jaw is broken.
