22 to 16 at half time. Wahs got one late.

Iverson Matai carves them up on the next set and sends Solo Saukuru in. Tavana converts from next to the sticks. Tigers now hitting their straps and are up 22 to 12.

Play stopped for a while with neck concerns for Jack Nicholas. Good to see him on his feet as he came from the field. A backline shift then gives us the lead 16 to 12. With Max Taotua now on the right wing and scoring. Tavana nails it from the sideline.

Matai goes over out wide and Tavana converts. Wahs up 12 to 10.

Haywood redeems his earlier miss with a dummy and barge over try. Tavana misses an easy conversion. 12 to 4.

Make that 12 nil. A nice try from Warrriors, involving a tap back when the ball was over the dead ball line. Tigers were very passive during that set.

ill discipline from Liles and a poor one on one missed tackle from Haywood allows Warriors to hit the scoreboard first. Down 6 nil...early days.

Deininger out. Tavana to fullback and Nicholas on the wing. Mitch Taotua starting 2nd row and Broederlow to the bench....I like this move. Hopefully a sign that Broederlow will play more minutes in the middle today.

Yeah true. But if he wants it, would be hard to turn him down.

He couldn't have done much more to show he deserves the job. The turn around for the side since he has taken over has been incredible.

Anything of note out of the training session today? Did To'a train with his injured elbow?

Ali Karnib and Pheonix Godinet selected in the NSW CHS squad for the upcoming Australian Schoolboys Championships. Christian Taupau-Moors in the NSW CCC squad. I believe that Makasini withdrew (assuming due to his duties with us?).

Yeah I agree this grade should be focusing on development. But a gun 17 year old kid who has been playing left centre all his junior career would benefit from developing his game against men in the position he is familiar with in my opinion. At least to begin with.

Unfortunately common sense doesn't always prevail when it comes to positional changes for our Cup team. Definitely agree that Makasini at left centre is the play here.

Makasini and May both starting. Interesting! Wonder who stays on the preferred left side and who goes to the right.

Hopefully a future Tiger in number 11.

Deininger looked to be hobbling in the in goal when Raiders scored the try to re-take the lead towards the end of the game. Hopefully nothing too serious. Agree completely with Taotua and Broederlow. Would be noce to see them try this a bit more in coming weeks.

Was that in the first half? I only jumped in live at the beginning of the 2nd half (when NRL finished up).

So good! Recovered after making a momentum changing error to come up with the clutch moments of the game and deliver his side a win. The more I watch him play, the more I want to see his name announced on a contract with us from next year. Incredible talent! On another note....how good is Solo...

3 - Latu (absolutely massive. His defence and commitment was incredible) 2 - Turuva (his carries out of yardage and probing up the middle made a huge difference) 1 - AD (big game in the halves from him. Needed that experience. Took control of the kicking game, set up a nice try).
