Gameday - Warriors v Tigers

[Blair]

I feel like we’ve been really lucky with Ali that they haven’t exposed him more. Webby clearly agrees.

But tries, we need them. Let's see how this plays out tonight.

 

[Izz]

CNK over! Nice work by TT to create some doubt in the defense!

Boyd misses from out wide.

4-0

Our first trip into their red zone, too

 

[Izz]

Another great Boyd spiral forces the error

 

[Izz]

Boyd to Laban! Great ball, great hands, great try!!

Boyd makes this conversion. 10-0

Gotta make sure we keep our foot on the throat!

 

[Izz]

Api hits Egan high to help us down the field again

Then Pompey binned for a cynical penalty, slowing down the 20m restart. Stupid play

Pompey must be still in new baby la-la land.

 

[Izz]

Api challenges a strip penalty, loses the challenge

 

[Izz]

Strong defense forces a turnover 5 out from Tigers line.

Boyd forces a line drop out.

CNK tap on ill-directed and goes out.

 

[Blair]

Clark off, Tanner on. Gee, we've blown some tries. 10-0 looks good for the Tigers.

Pompey back on. No points given away while he was off.

 

[Izz]

Surely we have to break soon

 

[Izz]

Somehow we dont

And just as I post that...

Doueihi breaks through, passes to the winger who scores in the corner on debut

10-4

Terrible attempt at tackling by Metcalf. We know he's rusty but...

10-4, Warriors. 34 mins gone.

Doueihi wrong-footed Pompey first, which left Metcalf in a bad position

Doueihi wrong-footed Pompey first, which left Metcalf in a bad position.

Now Tigers are in again after a ridiculous error involving Ford, no dummy-half on the first tackle.

Bunker saves us? Regardless, the Tigers are showing more character. No Bunker, they're in. 10-all! We're having a correction here, from how good we've been in rounds 1-3.

 

[Izz]

And Jacko plays the ball too quick, Tigers rattle down field from that and Tigers soon about to tie it up

 

[Izz]

Pompey's binning changed all the momentum...

 

[Izz]

RTS struggling under the high ball tonight

 

[Blair]

Seconds left we survive another Tiger attack...with Laban ripping the ball out...no! They're in. Bunker say yes, Tigers 16-10, halftime.

 

[Izz]

Tigers go into halftime with the lead

Tigers go into halftime with the lead.

We're a disheveled mess!
