WESTS TIGERS LEAD COWBOYS 22-4 IN TRIAL
By Wayne Cousins
Friday, 12 February 2010
Wests Tigers have turned in a solid defensive display early in their first NRL trial for 2010.
In a match being played on a very wet field in Mackay, North Queensland enjoyed the majority of possession in the opening 20 minutes but the defence of the Wests Tigers was very strong.
Both sides remain scoreless at the end of the first quarter.
Wests Tigers opened their account in the 43rd minute when full-back Jake Mullaney scored his first try in the top grade after good lead up work by prop Junior Moors. Mullaney converted the try for a 6-4 lead.
Four minutes later, a change of angle in a strong run saw Moors score. Mullaney converted for a 12-4 lead.
Two minutes later, some fine lead up work by hooker Chris Corby saw Englishman Mark Flanagan score his first try for Wests Tigers. Mullaney converted the try for an 18-4 lead.
It became 22-4 when Flanagan scored his second try from a kick by half-back Blake Lazarus. The score remained that way at three quarter time.
Wests Tigers Recruitment Manager Warren McDonnell says the field is a quagmire.
“It is a terrible night and the game is being played in thick mud.It is a quagmire.
“It is a forwards game. There has been plenty of drop ball and it just all defence,'' McDonnell said..
“The Cowboys have enjoyed a few repeat sets. We didn’t get out of half until eight minutes into the match.
“Bryce Gibbs, centres Geoff Daniela and Jake Clarke and hooker Daniel Fitzhenry are going well. Fitzhenry is doing plenty of work in defence in the middle.
McDonnell added there were no injuries to date.

With Lazarus at halfback and Fitzy in defence leading by example, no wonder the team is doing so well..
@Granto87 said:I thoght Bryce was suspended???
does a suspension count in trial games? not sure but don't think so
plus gibbs is fighting for a place in the 17,
personally i could do without the constant penalties he always gives away
I wonder if Arana Taumata got on the field and how he went, hopefully a full report coming soon
@Granto87 said:I thoght Bryce was suspended???
Suspensions only usually count for full first grade trials. So i'm guessing Gibbs will be suspeded for the others.

"Corby is going well at dummy half, Arana Taumata has added plenty of spark and Moors and Flanagan have been very good."
Hmmmm…no Fitzy at hooker anymore.. no surprise.
Taumata and Lazarus are much better than Lui in the halves..

WESTS TIGERS BEAT COWBOYS 28-4 IN TRIAL
By Wayne Cousins
Friday, 12 February 2010
Wests Tigers recorded a strong 28-4 victory over the North Queensland Cowboys in Mackay tonight in their first NRL trial match for 2010.
In a match played on a quagmire of a field at Tiger Park, Walkerston, the Cowboys enjoyed the majority of possession in the opening 20 minutes but could not break through the defence.
Both sides remained scoreless at the end of the first quarter. The Cowboys scored in the 39th minute through a try to Manase Manuokafoa. Former Wests Tigers full-back Shannon Gallant lined up for the Cowboys.
Wests Tigers opened their account in the 43rd minute when full-back Jake Mullaney scored his first try in the top grade after good lead up work by prop Junior Moors. Mullaney converted the try for a 6-4 lead.
Four minutes later, a change of angle in a strong run saw Moors score. Mullaney converted for a 12-4 lead.
Two minutes later, some fine lead up work by hooker Chris Corby saw Englishman Mark Flanagan score his first try for Wests Tigers. Mullaney converted the try for an 18-4 lead.
It became 22-4 when Flanagan scored his second try from a kick by half-back Blake Lazarus, playing his first game in a year after missing last season with a knee reconstruction.
Wests Tigers finished their tryscoring spree in the 78th minute when a kick through by the Cowboys was regathered by winger Rhys Pritchard, who made a great run back before linking up with Josh Davis who raced 20 metres to score under the posts. Mullaney converted the try for a 28-4 victory.
Prop Bryce Gibbs was named man-of-the-match.
“It was a very good effort in the heavy conditions and the pleasing thing is there are no major injuries,’’ said Wests Tigers Recruitment Manager Warren McDonnell.
“It was a terrible night for rugby league. The game was played in thick mud.

Sounds like a nice neat first hit out for the year. Teams were evenly matched and we beat them on their turf, only let in one try. Im sure the 4 quarter game would have broken up each sides attacking momentum. Good to hear Bryce got man of the match honours. I think he is in for a massive year.. I wonder if he played the full 80\. Sound like Moors & Flanagan impressed.

Sounds like a good first hit out in tough gritty conditions. Good defensive effort and still managed to score some tries. Good start to season 2010! :sign:
