Wests Tigers have confirmed their VB NSW Cup squad that will take on the Wyong Roos on Saturday, March 22 at Morry Breen Oval in their Round 3 match.

Head Coach Paul Fletcher has named a strong lineup this week following a disappointing 20-12 defeat to defending premiers Cronulla Sharks last week — starting with the inclusion of Blake Austin alongside Nathan Waters in the halves.

Ben Murdoch-Masila has also retained his spot in the second row alongside Asipeli Fine, with regular captain Jarrod Farlow ruled out this week due to a minor injury.

Kick-off for the match is 5:00pm AEDT on Saturday, March 22.

Fair dinkum, unless Cory sufferered from the Heat on the Coast I expected him to play last night as he had an exceptional game, alas he didn't play against Rusty's mob but I would have expected him to appear at Morrie Breen Oval unless it's Ramadan!, can some of our fans enlighten us?.

Did Andy turn out for the Magpies at Lidcombe or is he injured?.

I'm also very interested in where Fiagatusa is up to??
I think BMM got 2 tries today & Austin had a hand in most things. Also interested to know how Nathan Brown went?

Corey Brown got injured.

Wests Tigers have overcome a slow start at Morry Breen Oval on Saturday to emerge with a comprehensive 28-18 victory over the Wyong Roos in Round 4 of the VB NSW Cup competition.

Ben Murdoch-Masila was an unlikely try-scoring source for the visitors — scoring two tries inside the opening 15 minutes of the second half — with Blake Austin again showing his class as he controlled the middle of the field and set up several tries as well.

Despite having several more recognisable names in their lineup, it was the Wests Tigers forced to do most of the defending early in the match. Handling errors and penalty late in the tackle count allowed Wyong plenty of repeat sets on their line, but the Roos were unable to get across the white stripe early.

The closest they came was in the 16th minute as the worked the ball right — exposing an overlap in the right corner, but an intercept to winger Taqele Naiyaravoro put an end to any chance at points for the home team.

The biggest turning point of the first half would come in the 27th minute as Wyong threw a forward pass to end their set on halfway, only for the referee to rule a penalty in their favour for Wests Tigers being inside the 10\. That gave the hosts great field position, and after earning a repeat set, they were the first to post points in the match through wiry hooker Mitch Williams.

The captain darted over from dummy half close to the posts, which he duly converted, to give Wyong a 6-0 lead after 28 minutes.

However, from that point onwards, it was all the Wests Tigers as they closed out the half in style. Finishing the half with a perfect eight from eight completions, they drew blood in the 34th minute through Corey Brown after a nice right-edge move before Kurtis Rowe put them in front in the 38th minute.

Rowe backed up brilliantly on the inside following a strong break from Inno Inosesio, which Austin converted to give the visitors a 10-6 lead.

That would be the way the score read at half time, although a final raid on the siren almost drew more points for the Wests Tigers. An ambitious chip from Austin to Naiyaravoro almost saw the winger shrug away from a few defends to score in the corner, but the touch judge thought otherwise.

His flag in the air saw the move fall short and the score read 10-6 at the break.

It was an impressive start to the second half from Wests Tigers, who extended their lead in the 45th minute through Murdoch-Masila.

Joel Luani found the rampaging forward close to the line and he crashed through for another four-pointer this season. Austin made no mistake with the conversion to push the lead to 16-6, but concern was more about centre Corey Brown, who was forced from the field with a nasty shoulder injury.

Wests Tigers crossed the line again in the 52nd minute when Austin beat his man down the short side before improving the angle for a successful conversion.

Moments later they were in again, after Shaune Corrigan spilled an Austin bomb — leaving Murdoch-Masila to simply pick it up and put it down close to the posts. Austin made no mistake with the conversion, and the visitors had quickly pushed the lead to 28-6 with 25 minutes still to play.

Wyong would hit back in the 67th minute through halfback Darren Nicholls, who ran on to a nice inside ball from Adam Shaw. He converted his own try to reduce the gap to 28-12, but with little time left on the clock to spark a comeback, it would be too little too late for the home team.

Brock Molan grabbed another consolation try in the 76th minute when he ran on to a sharp ball close to the line, but it was simply for show. Nicholls added his second conversion of the day to send the score to 28-18, which is how it would finish in front of a spectacular sunset at Morry Breen Oval.
 
Thank WT twitter feed - I'm just copy & pasting :slight_smile: The twitter feed has been really well done so far this year for these sort of games.

& a bit of good news:

Can confirm Corey Brown's shoulder injury isn't too serious. We'll assess it more throughout the week but looking promising. #VBNSWCup
 
Sounds like a very scrappy game but a good win nonetheless for the Tigers. BMM is getting across the tryline and sounds like he's working hard on forcing his way back into FG, likewise with Austin. I can only assume Paterson had a niggling injury after the GC game if he didn't play.
 
Was at this game. Tigers were very ordinary today and on this game there was not one of them who could put their hand up for our NRL side.

BMM is a long way off the pace and even though he crossed the line that was one of the few times he got interested or held the ball. He looks out of condition.

Blake was ok but faded in and out if the game.

He was ok but with our current NRL pack he is a long way away.

Carrying a reasonable amount of "condition".

Looks like he needs to stay away from the pie shop!

Brown,s injury didn't look to bad had it iced for a period, seemed ok at end of day. Akaoula played well when on , BMM did not look like 1st grade standard even though scoring 2 tries. Austin looks very classy & confident,
