Live NSW Cup trial: Full Time - Wests Tigers 46 Jets 8

REPORT:

The Jets opened the scoring in the 23rd minute when winger Paul Rokolati dived over in the corner after the ball was spread left through half Ben Jones and centre Ivan Penehe. The try was not converted to leave the Jets with a 4-0 lead.

Wests Tigers centre Rory Brien continued his tryscoring feats of recent weeks when he crashed over in the corner after a good cut out pass by full-back James Tedesco to winger David Nofoaluma saw the ball go back inside for Brien. He has now scored a try in each of the three trial games.

Five-eighth Sean Meaney converted the try to give Wests Tigers a 6-4 lead after 32 minutes.

Two minutes later, a floating cut out pass by Meaney put Brien into open space to stroll over from 10 metres out for a 10-4 lead. Meaney converted the try to give Wests Tigers a 12-4 lead after 36 minutes.

A bullocking run and a great one arm offload from a penalty tap by second-rower Sauaso Sue saw hooker Joel Luani dive over for a try in the 39th minute. Meaney converted the try to give Wests Tigers an 18-4 lead at half-time.

2nd half LIVE UPDATE:

46th minute: score remains 18-4\. Few try scoring chances.

47th minute: TRY to our new try scoring machine Rory Brien! The centre dives on a pin point grubber from halfback Luke Brooks to claim his 3rd try of the night. That's 6 tries in three trials to the new boy!

Meaney hits his fourth goal to make it 24-4.

Newtown are offside from the kick-off!.

49th: TRY! James Tedesco pounces from dummy half and grabs an easy try.

51st: TRY! A FOURTH try to Rory Brien. The man is a machine!

55th minute: Ben Murdoch-Masila heads up the tunnel with what looks like a shoulder injury. We'll keep you posted as soon as we know how he is.

59th: Intercept deep inside their own half from Newtown. They don't get far before they are run down.

62nd: TRY in the left corner for Wests Tigers. Giant winger Taqele Naiyaravoro shows good acceleration to touch down inside the corner post.

69th: TRY! Taqele Naiyaravoro throws down his opposition and streaks away. Too big, too strong, too quick.

78th: TRY to Newtown. Mitchell Stevens crosses right of the posts after good lead up work from Ben Jones.

Kick is missed and it's 46-8\. Let's hope the NRL result goes the same way.

Full time score: 48-8 Wests Tigers defeat Newtown. Match report to come.
