TR all over the top of the roosters The Roosters just lacked a bit of spark but Tigers insisted on giving them a couple of opportunities towards the end and Sydney City now coming up with possession a loose pass there and this will be Ben Duckworth to
Get up and play it for them single acting half penalty Bal man inside the 10 well this referee Simkins has got to be consistent because there was F and we’ve had 4 and 1/2 minutes gone now in the second half we spoke about the couple of mistakes Bain made just before
Halftime was totally uncharacteristic of the way they played the first half and they started the second half the same way a couple of silly Ras early and invited e into their into their territory they just want to get back to the way they were playing when they went
To the 10m lead controlling the ball kicking dup and chasing now it’s with lamb who steps brilliantly Lambs away and lamb set sa for the tri line back on the inside the Luke ricketson who puts the ball on the ground oh that might be a Sydney City try there are players racing through
Waiting to see what the referee decides to do he’s going to award a try to Sydney City well put that one down to Adrien lamb rig on it was that dived on it and forced the ball lamb making the bus stepping freely through the balain defense got it away to rickinson who desperately
Put but to ball his Lamb on the replay Jason Taylor they’re enthusiastic the Tigers Defenders but against a player with such footwork as Adrien L sometimes that can be your worst option now I’d like to know how Luke ricketson knew that rigon was coming there he didn’t look for one
Second he just dropped the ball onto the boot figured he wasn’t going to make it to the TR Line and rigon clearly the first one there a fair try no doubt about it so we’ve got one heck of a game of football on our hands here at and clear will now set the ball 11 M out but for mine was marginal but rigon was
Tackled by Weber here they go Going Down The Blind Side through Luke ricketson Bain defense equal to the task and a tight match here at Leica lamb he’s made a huge difference to this side since he returned last week fitler met and tackled in a good
Hit and he’s taking a while to get up Brad fitler that hurt him now it’s back to lamb who puts a little kick over the top oh that will Sydney City trial Ian Cleary that was just too good a brilliant Boy by Brad fedler who kicked back on the angle he knew clearly
Was there Adrian L was tappy bradf still receiving a bit of attention lamb kick back on the inside we saw fitler attempt to do it earlier in the first half he went for a grubber back on the inside knowing Ivan clear was coming through the rck lamb put this
One in the air the roers scor by number one we saw Camry used to get a lot of mileage out of that one Ricky Stewart used to put the ball back across for Brett Mullin steing through the middle of the Rock and Ivan clear I’ll back him every time if
There’s a one-on-one competition with the ball in the air he didn’t have much pressure though he just had to take it and fall over and he’s not well and he’s the man that’s got to attempt to convert this and uh he may let someone else the shot at goal I
Think you’ll find he’s not well you’re right it was lamb have a another look at it this is where was injured that hurt that tackle back in possession well B may are going to pay de for these mistakes and they’re starting to come all too often
Jason Taylor they are we’ve said it a number of times they went for 38 minutes in the first half and hardly made one Jolly’s down and hurt in back play the balain halfback who hasn’t moved but his face on the turf and referee has seen that clear Jolly across the top there and
Boom there’s the elbow and Ivan clear will be there for Sydney City positional play outstanding ooh Michael Gillette had a tendency to get the players legs up in the air there but nothing came of it there’s a spill of possession and Bal an outstanding opport for them now the
Change over of possession and it was Darren Senter falling on it for the Tigers here they come the black and gold in front of their home crowd and it’s a big crowd at like up Darren seta puts the head down and charges at the Sydney City Tri line he’s pulled up two blades
Of grass short mcferson now at acting half what will he do he spins it to Jolly who steps off his right and heads back towards the goal post he was tackled by Scott Logan for Sydney City this is enormous pressure now for the roosters Bal m using the
Football with long passing and L there again in a tackle that had to be made brasser acting half fires the ball to Jolly now Gillette now it’s with the man in jumper 11 Mark stepson who keeps it alive it’s back to Gillette who has made in a crouching Tackle by Jack ills going
And clean it up and across field he [Applause] runs and there’s a penalty to the Sydney City side serin and there is some feeling in this game now Jason those sort of things are just hurting the tigers at the moment aren’t they they put a good kick down they had
A good Chase it was good bringing the ball back through one tackle and S comes across the top no doubt about that so San being cautioned who tackled by jolly and also Morrison that would be tackle number five garlic back to Walker who has a shot at
Field goal Ricochet is off a BAL main player and goes back on the fly to Timmy Brasher who found himself in space but he was tackled by goule for Sydney City so BM with 13 minutes remaining in this game have got to get the foot ball the
Football up the Northern end of this this Stadium to make a bustling run out of acting half we’re 7 and A2 minutes now remaining in this game fitler fitler trying to start the roosters made half a break Balman have got it back through Jolly he’s got no support he’ll have to
Go on his own and he was tackled by ricketson and also matene good chance now for the Tigers grasher calls for it and gets it switches the point of the attack back the other way they swing it right through Michael Gillette now who’s running out of support play Michael
Gillette through he comes the land back on the inside now to Weber who set s for the line that’s a b m tro 7 minutes out from full time and boy didn’t they need that a great try and Well Done Michael Gillette well Michael I can tell you one thing for sure he
Would have been very disappointed at half time cuz he would have known he was the man to drop that ball just before the break and that would have that that would have hurt his confidence a bit he he would have been very disappointed as Tim Brash turned the ball back to Jolly
Here it went to Gillette he headed across field and he just straightened up beautifully here but around Andrew Walker which is in an easy feet Jason Weber and there’s Weber Crossing for the four-pointer that makes it 1614 the roer in favor of Sydney City we got Billy Anderson sitting beside our commentary
Box here at L he just undid the window and said said tappy can you go get Jason Taylor to take this kick for us there’s the other replay as Weber comes across and scores a fine try so this he Rams home the advantage for Sydney City they now lead by four so
B have got three minutes to score a converted try to win this game Tim brush caught that ball and was running back to the halfway and Sean G got in his road to slow him down and Russia ran straight over the top of him oh yes there’s a
Short kickoff not oh it’s spe picked up here we go now it’s the lower Milford brilliant play by braser well that’s exactly what the Tigers needed this game is going to go right down to the wire where Less Than 3 minutes remaining on the clock now and the balain side a
