Wests reports
#RMC
Tala Mapesone was the toast of Campbelltown after snatching an intercept with 90 seconds remaining to get Wests home 24-22 against Blacktown.
Six minutes elapsed before Blacktown opened the scoring, Josh Fraser breaking clear through some weak defence on the right side before stepping past the cover defence to put the Workers up 6-0 for 15 minutes before Wests responded through David Harris, who bounced out of three tackles after a stunted attacking raid to stroll through to level the scores.
Both sides were guilty of poor handling, and it cost Wests more dearly as Joshua Tangitau went over adjacent to the posts after some disappointing Magpie defence which was just as poor as Dean Parata took an inside ball to score Blacktowns third try and give them a 12 point buffer at the halftime break.
Wests came out hard in the second half and were on the board early, Brendan Waters stretching out from close range to register Wests second try before Shannon Gallant levelled the scores with his second try of the season off a Dayne Craig grubber which pinballed without Blacktown able to control it.
Wests took the lead for the first time in the 67th minute, a stripping penalty allowing Shannon Gallant to slot the two pointer from 30 metres out, but the lead was short lived as William Butler found space on Blacktowns left side to touch down out wide and send the Workers back to a two point lead.
Blacktown looked home and had the opportunity to seal the game 90 seconds from time with a four man overlap. However, the single Wests defender, Tala Mapesone, stuck his hand out and took the intercept, racing 35 metres to score and seal the game for the home side in a dramatic finish.
WESTERN SUBURBS 24 (David Harris, Brendan Waters, Shannon Gallant, Tala Mapesone tries; Shannon Gallant 4 from 5) defeated BLACKTOWN 22 (Josh Fraser, Joshua Tangitau, Dean Parata, William Butler tries; Kurt Horton 3 from 3, Alex Seini 0 from 1)

A four try brace to Jai Doolan covered for some leaky defence as Wests outlasted Blacktown 36-30.
Jai Doolan picked up where he left off last week, going over for the opening try after two minutes before Blacktown responded on six minutes through Cameron Davis, who cut straight through on Blacktowns right side.
Wests grabbed their second with an opportunistic last tackle dart from Jai Doolan, the Magpies rake getting his second halfway through the first half, Daniel Smith responding five minutes later as Daniel Smith finished off a set which was given to Blacktown courtesy of a neat clean up by Daniel Cassone.
Blacktown ended the one for one scoring by grabbing their third try on 31 minutes as Jad Mahmoud was on the end of some hot potato from the Workers, the scores level at 12 at the break.
Wests came out after halftime and repeated their first half opening, Jai Doolan burrowing over for his third after three minutes before Trent Pye went through some soft Blacktown defence to grab one for himself to put Wests ahead by eight, seven minutes into the second half.
Blacktown hit back seven minutes later, Daniel Cassone breaking clear and going 70 metres to score with Josh Leapai putting Blacktown in front on 57 minutes with a bullocking run which left plenty of Wests defenders in his wake.
Wests struck back quickly, Hala Masila charging his way over to put Wests back in front with Trent Pye grabbing his second just six minutes later to put Wests out by eight.
Wests put themselves a dozen clear with seven minutes remaining when Jai Doolan dodged through the line and ran clear to grab his fourth but Blacktown kept touch with a try from a short restart to Taviuni Mariota to bring it back to six points difference but Wests held on for their second win of the season.
WESTERN SUBURBS 36 (Jai Doolan 4, Trent Pye 2, Hala Masila tries; Roman Ioelu 2 from 4, Noa Tuitavuki 2 from 3) defeated BLACKTOWN 30 (Cameron Davis, Daniel Smith, Jad Mahmoud, Daniel Cassone, Josh Leapai, Taviuni Mariota tries; Blake Goodman 3 from 6)
