What we didnt make the semis…

Gary im sure you will cheer the boys on even though we don’t deserve to be there.

@tiger4ever:

Correct. Balmain has only made the quarter finals at this stage.

Of course and Balmain does deserve to be there. They can’t help if the competition is a farce and 8 out of the 11 teams qualify for finals matches.

Really need a big effort today and facing the Bulldogs will prove whether or not the Tigers are Contenders or Pretenders, watch Newtown V Bulldogs yesterday and the Doggies are beatable.

A Jack is back at Fullback playing footy for Balmain…named there only , even though Jake Mullaney is playing there in defence
Wade isback in first grade

After 13 minutes Nil All.

Dogs 12-nil with 7 to go in the first half.
BRET are trying hard , but too much dropped ball is killing off any chance to come back in this half

Nathan Waters in 5 minutes into the second half, 4-12 with kick to come.

Dogs are in again 4-18 after Balmain had almost scored to George Ndaira.
Just now Sean Meaney goes over it’s now 8-18 with the kick to come.

Live streaming is breaking up but Faniela Finau appears to have scored to maybe get within 4 points.
Ball has been lost from the kick off but Tigers have the feed, maybe 14 minutes to go.

Had to leave at half time , but BRET must have put in a better effort in the 2nd half , to lose 24-20.
Eloni’s last fame at Leichhardt , before he heads off to France next year.
