I love the look of Kiraz!

He is some talent with his footwork and magic.

Nanai lept, caught and scored the try

[Graham]

He outjumped the fullback. Not bad for a forward.

[Graham]

Holmes converted the try.

12-0  

[Graham]

Great start from Cowboys, worrying for Tigers.

[Graham]

Holmes penalty goal. Awarded for a strip two on one.

14 minutes gone

[Graham]

Tigers errors making it hard for themselves.

[Graham]

Feldt in again for his second try.

Tigers defence on the backfoot. Another Tigers mistake punished severely

Homes from the sideline struck it well and yes, goal.

Massacre on?

[Futtocks]

After being targeted in defence, RU recruit Solomon Alaimalo finally gets a chance in attack and scores.

Making up a bit for his earlier errors, Alaimalo scores a try in the corner. Drinkwater bested by him there. 
Koroisau goal missed.20-4

[Futtocks]

Now Jahream Bula takes a high ball for another Tigers try. Drinkwater's had a couple of bad moments in a row.

Hang on Tigers in again. Bula caught the high ball and said thank you very much. Try. 
Koroisau goal.

20-10 Cowboys 

10 minutes to half time.

[Graham]

Tigers needed to show some spirit and they have.

Cotter off HIA

[Graham]

Cowboys under pressure

[Futtocks]

Holmes binned for a hip-drop.

[Graham]

Papa clutching his ankle in pain.

Holmes called out for that tackle. Called a hip drop. 
He was focused on saving the try.

Papa helped off. Holmes binned.

[Graham]

Cowboys just fall short of a try there. Good defence by Tigers.

[Graham]

HALF TIME

COWBOYS 20 - 10 TIGERS

 

[Graham]

Papali’i presumably won’t be returning. 
That unfortunate hipdrop tackle by Holmes could cost him his Origin place. That’d be tough given the way it happened with Dearden falling on Holmes who was trying to save a try.
