Official Wentworthville Magpies Thread II

[Forty20]

Decent set after points for the Tigers as they bring the ball up field for an attacking kick but fail to put any pressure on said kick allowing Wenty to cleanly secure the ball.

Good carries from Mossop and Moi Moi get Wenty out of trouble and Kelly follows them up with a nice kick on the last and he finds the carpet near the Tigers' goal line.

Wenty catch a break in defence as the referee penalises Mitchell Moses for taking advantage of an obstruction.

 

[Forty20]

Wenty aren't able to make anything of the unexpected possession as the Tigers easily read a sweeping play that Wenty exexcute down Matterson's edge. Matterson tries to find Rawauli as the second man option but he is quickly shut down by a jammer and loses the ball in the tackle.

Mossop coming off with an ankle injury

 

[Forty20]

There is some concern for Lee Mossop who has stayed down after attempting a tackle.

Play eventually stops after an error from the Tigers and Mossop gets up and slowly trudges to the sidelines with a trainer by his side.

He is getting inspected by the physio on the bench so I will give you update soon.

Meanwhile back in the game, there is a knock on from Luke Kelly in a play-the -ball and the Tigers immediately get an attacking chance.

 

[Sensai Cobra]

It's his right knee

 

[Forty20]

Lucky break for Wenty there!

Ualesi blocks a grubber from Moses but the Tigers are able to regather. However the player the dived on the ball loses it seemingly backwards but the ref sees it differently calling for a change over.

 

[Forty20]

There is ice on Mossop's right knee.

Ryan Matterson make a great break and strides down field with Vai Toutai in support on his inside.

He decides against linking up with Toutai and take the tackle. Although Toutai wasn't likely to score he took the wrong option for mine.

Wenty shoot themselves in the foot a tackle later as they lose the ball.

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Fu*k, i hope Mossop's injury isn't serious.

Where you at, merkin?

 

[Sensai Cobra]

Mossop is up on the bike, doesn't look too serious

 

[Forty20]

Mossop is now on the exercise bike so he seems to have a decent range of movement in his knee.

Wenty pick up a 20m restart after a kick rolls dead from the Tigers and play out a simple set.

Matterson bombs it on the last and Edwards backs it back to Kelly who tries to find support and flings the ball to a retreating Tiger.

The Tigers then pick up a penalty in their set for a high shot and waste little time scoring as they find us short on our right edge.

Marika Koroibete is the beneficiary of a nice cut out ball and he crosses out wide.

 

[Forty20]

The conversion is successful.

Wests Tigers lead Wenty 12-0

27min gone.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How is Folau's defence?

 

[Forty20]

Big metres this set for the Tigers. Ualesi nails Moses to bring up the last and the Tigers look to bomb Goodall but he is easily up to task and claims the pill.

Wenty make nearly zero metres in reply and Ryan Matterson is forced to simply hoof the ball down field but Koroibete chews up the kick return metres in reply.

 

[Sensai Cobra]

f**k me west score again.

 

[Forty20]

Soft stuff there.

Curtis Sironen throws a decent ball to Sitaleki Akauola down our right edge and he steps inside the scrambling defence.

Henry Rawalui has a clean shot at him before the try line but can't complete the tackle and he rolls over and places the ball over the line to score.

 

[Forty20]

The conversion is successful.

Wests Tigers lead Wenty 18-0

31min gone.

 

[Sensai Cobra]

All wests tries have come down our right hand side defence

 

[Forty20]

How is Folau's defence?

Alright in the opening exchanges but Wests have found ways to open us down our right since.

 

[Sensai Cobra]

And again
