WT v Sharks Trial *Live Game Thread...

Cmon Tigers finish the buggers off

Sounds like nice work by Taylor. He had a plan in place to build for round one rather than win this trial. A win is a bonus.

Teddy, Brooks and Moses all getting a rest late and giving Drinkwater more time and Siro a spell at 6….I like it.

Great news that Siro played strong. We need that

72'— Sharp set from our boys as the ball is trickled into the corner from Drinkwater. Brooks/Moses both being rested now. #NRLTrial

 

[newtiger]

Score please?

How did we turn this game around ? we were never in this game from when my streamed stop just after halftime .

Very pleased to hear , can't wait for 2 weeks time in Robina.

1 try off an intercept where we were completely shot

2 tries off kicks

We were better in the second half but still not great. I'd nearly rather we lose this game so we don't get some false sense of security.

Must never lose to the sharks! I know too many of their supporters.

 

[Geo]

76'— Intensity dropped a bit as both teams experiment with new combinations. Defence holding firm though, no points this half. #NRLTrial

Score is 18 the good guys us… the drug cheating peptide sucking Sharks 8

 

[simonthetiger]

Wow we looked off the pace at half time!

 

[Geo]

78'— Great defence from @timsimona to deny Bird close to the line. #NRLTrial

sounds like a decent hit out. hopefully no injuries

 

[dazza65]

You can't say two tries off kicks - teddy's was a great piece of reactionary play after great lead up work - not a bomb like the other.

Simona scored off a Drinkwater kick on the siren and missed the goal. 22-8 FT.

 

[Geo]

79'— TRY TIME! @josh_drinkwater kicks to the corner and @timsimona flies down the corner to ground it on the siren! #NRLTrial

Looks like Simona has got his Mojo back

FULL-TIME Mighty WESTS Tigers 22 Sharks 8

 

[Hbom]

You have to be happy with no tries conceded in the second half.

I thought our forwards made good yards in the first half, and that we let ourselves down with handling late in the tackle count down their end.

 

[king_sirro]

Thanks for the updates Willow, Geo, Happy and MacDougal. Sorry of if i missed someone.

 

[MacDougall]

Drinkwater has not put a foot wrong in the trials. Not sold on Brooks/Moses combination either.

 

[marzie]

Simona far more effective at left centre with a great left step and massive right arm fend

 

[happy_tiger]

Thanks for all the feedback everyone

Well done Tigers , something to build on for the Titans game

 

[newtiger]

Sounds like Drinkwater could be a great backup for Luke and Mitch, great to hear Teddy is back in form.

Simona looked good and much bigger. He has always been steppy and quick but he was pushing defenders off with strength tonight, something we haven't seen before. If the people around him stay fit and he sees good ball he should have a big year.
