So unlike under 20's. Floodgates should open in the second half.

 

[Muffstar]

Is the wind having any impact on the game ?

 

[Tap_Twist_Snap]

It's 4-6 now according to fox.

 

[cunno]

Yes 4 to 6 is correct drags scored early in second half big bops busted through close to line and the wind is affecting kicks and passes

NYC: Wests Tigers beat Dragons 10-6
By Wayne Cousins

Saturday 11 August 2012 6:55 PM

Wests Tigers recorded a 10-6 win over St George-Illawarra at Allianz Stadium tonight in round 23 of the NYC competition.

In a match played in cold, wet and windy conditions, the Tigers got home on the back of a try to prop Mosese Fotuaika in the 73rd minute.

The win moves Wests Tigers into third position on 32 points subject to weekend results.

Wests Tigers opened the account in the 12th minute when winger Kurtis Rowe caught a crossfield kick by half-back Jacob Miller to score in the corner. Full-back Manaia Rudolph failed to convert the try for a 4-0 lead.

Talented young Wests Tigers hooker James Luff left the field on a medicab with a knee injury late in the first half. It was later revealed he suffered an ACL injury, ending his season in what was just his second game in the 20s this season.The score remained 4-0 at half-time.

2nd Half
The Dragons drew level at 4-all in the 45th minute when huge Fijian forward Kem Seru crashed over Rudolph to score. Half-back Sam Clune converted the try to give St George-Illawarra a 6-4 lead.

St George-Illawarra prop Jack Buchanan was held up over the line in the 56th minute by three defenders.

A few plays later, the Dragons knocked on from dummy half 10 metres from the Wests Tigers tryline.
Wests Tigers regained the lead in the 73rd minute when Fotuaika used his strength to brush off four defenders to slam the ball down next to the posts for an 8-6 lead. Rudolph converted the try for a 10-8 lead to Wests Tigers.

The Dragons had one last crack inside the final minute inside the Wests Tigers quarter but some determined defence kept the visitors at bay to allow the home side to take a vital two competition points.

Fotuaika will surely be in with a shot of playing FG next year. His second half to the season after spending the majority coming back from injury has been excellent. 157 metres with the ball tonight, with strong support from Lovett and Santi.

Let's hope the young guys can kick start the NRL team!…............
