Most recent visit to lart now Center had a look out for some clear space he put it in the air and Reeves got underneath it and that was a very good job done by Brendan Reeves before being put away by Jason Weber very good young players on show
Tonight Brendan Reeves is one of Britt Rodwell Callaway got a ball down for Robinson pretty smart play there in fact he knew he had the uh Bain players offside he tried to suck a penalty referee played the advantage this is Brad street now they’re 42 M out from the B
Main line on the right of the ground they go and oh it’s a mile forward to maai it looked very neat from Trent Barrett just a little inexperience there pump of adrenaline he got through the hole the ball was there but he he couldn’t quite get it away quickly
Enough and still went on with the pass experience over the years will teach him to hold on to that and wait for the next time he is a very exciting young player he can do that to any defense and he’s done it all season we have that seen
That experience already in this game both John Cross and Brad M got into open space but opted not to throw the pass which was the better option Jason Weber 43 M away from their own line Tigers winners last weekend against Manley and then aawara a fornight ago a draw with South
Sydney so Bing on form you’d want to back b m coming in off those matches this is the lock forward Hudson Smith just outside the 30 m line as they go on the left of the ground for jolly good long ball Gillette to the air there’s a good Chase on from b m
Well that wasn’t very spectacular unbelievable stuff there the lower Milford he put the Superman cape on he didn’t know whether to go with hands up or hands down here watch [Applause] this oh beautiful stuff unfortunately not the result he was after to engage in something fairly
Close looking at the the league L out Rodwell 42 M up theyve made more breaks than b m kimmons weaving run on the blind cross to Robinson way for Barrett and then back and around for har put away heavily they’re in the center of the park you should have your livelihood
Could depend on those decis here’s Robinson yes it’s away kellway I thought he was home aai Timmons that got the rebound oh here’s trouble b m is away players are putting their hands up they’re going to go all the way Kennedy will score well what a crazy
Game very very smart play there from Michael Gillette I still think he probably could have gone all the way but he made a bird of it by giving it to the quickest man in the side and William buba Kennedy was a bad option from aari going the other side I
Thought so close to a try here for ding callway great ball from Will Robinson and Michael with’s a tri saer the next rck see the numbers on the Le hand side for Ila they go the right three on six straight into the the legs of Michael Gillette he’s got plenty of support on
The outside in Kennedy and Milford re was trying to gobble up the ground but he was never ever going to catch this booster what about Superman on the left he was floating yes I think he overran him actually he didn’t give him a chance to throw it to him well they’re both
Giving a bit of vocal support to mck Gillette in the end he turned around and said well if you’re that Ken you take it and Baba Kenny was just jogging alongside of him you wanted to be on him in running once he got the ball under his hand it was a try for
Sure like you say it is a crazy game isn’t it ilara they probably busted them on three or four occasions Callaway so close to getting in under the posts at the 17th minute we welcome you back to Friday Night Football Australian rugby league 13th round starting here and that was a bit
That was a little bit narrow Steve roach on the sidelines uh he’s smiling the big fellow but he’s had uh he’s had some palpitation well that’s exactly what the Tigers needed they looked a little bit flat after their big win against Manley last week ilar beat him at the play the
Ball at the moment they play the balls are 10 times bigger than their own and that’s kick oh favored by suu has made a complete mess of it and laa Milford never mind about Superman I don’t think he could have done that I think he’s done better than Clark T
Oh theer Milford flies onto him Philly seru was never going to catch this he was going backwards and unfortunately further away from the football it’s a tough kick to catch look at Philly he’s going backwards then all of a sudden right at the death I don’t know whether
He got a handle it or not the lower Milford first through one tackle beat the despairing dive of another as Phil G pointed out aaar have conceded plenty of tries Lately from kicks We’ll add this one to it as well that’s the fourth time in the game they’ve kicked before tackle five so
They’re obviously going to keep these Wingers Under Pressure if their confidence is down they’re not going to let them off the hook and Milford there who with a flying effort earlier in the game just missed was Johnny on the spot to take advantage of the mistake by suu Milford hit heavily and put
[Applause] away Milford hit heavily and put away Tigers even though they have made more tackles 85 against 67 on the scoreboard that does not translate as Adam St takes the ball forward the other number eight in all sorts of trouble out there once again
Scott crra 42 out from the B line as the Tigers go wide Gillette throws the dummy and slices through 12 men in the Yar line that’s the change CR crra is in trouble again and he’s already been off with concussion once when I say concussion he was
Knocked about early in the game and they’ve put him back into the game and one would hope that that that is the end of Scott crem for the night because he’s had enough hits on the on the head he got two there didn’t he went in the tackle in the
Wrong Manner and the man with his head then when he came back to the ground pretty nasty knock as well he’s on the Jordan frame and there is concern about a neck injury with Scott crra and all I can hope is that he he’s going to be okay pretty much against the
Run of play so if you’ve uh got a fancy for aara w be put off by the scoreboard too much now Brad maai has come out of the tackle injured Center keeps it low Clifford is back inside his 10- met line reev well this would be another Savage
Play to AA War if Brad maai is taken out of the game as Rodwell has run the ball very strongly tonight takes it outside the 20 but as you can see the number 12 very slowly to his feet they’ve signal to the bench once again maai leaves the
Field injury problems for the home team continue to mount they 5 m on their own side of halfway and a penalty goes to them it’s against the Defenders as Brad maai is ushered from the ground and let’s have a look and see what happened to the oh he’s run
Straight into the forearm of Mark Stimson the young Fells have got it all on their own shoulders just got a lift now just show their medal drop kick from Gillette with the breeze and taken back by the elaa number 14 David Cox Brad street I wasn’t wrong he has certainly
Rolled his sleeves up a bit further this is har that’s been knocked down from a b main player runwell 7 m away from the line kellway from Robinson across Barrett Bullet likee Pass for Reed Kim good defense by the Tigers 10 m out cross looking around Robinson goes to the blind 14 is
Cox going okay this is okay 12 behind just hang in there things will turn around for a [Applause] shortly Oh by tell you what there’s been some heavy some heavy contact out there that’s a great run High seems to have fully recovered we’ll try and get Um a more comprehensive report on to the right Barrett charged out came back back down for Lal elaa Robinson referee gave him six again and the penalty there’s still plenty of time I would imagine they’ll take the shot right in front 22 M off in that incident
There where he gave them six again he’s ruled at the Bain player play at the ball well I can’t believe from from this penalty see Will Robinson interfered with they’ve taken the quick tap and decided not to kick for goal it was a pretty easy one of course no Rod Wishard
In the team anymore Shan Timmons 10 m out they’ve gone back to 15 out and Barrett is banged into the ground well that’s hurt the young [Applause] [Applause] 58 well this was a misplay from uh foraa Barrett wasn’t supposed to have this ball you don’t want your best ball player hitting the ball up just to get field position and Barrett was in had no intentions of taking the ball forward found himself with the football an easy
Target for the B main defense Slamm down there interesting to see what the referee rules here he did in fact lose the ball in the tackle but by the look of it it appears as though he’s going to let aaar retain possession and allow Barrett to play the ball
As you said though feel it’s not the job it’s not the job for Trent Barrett but they still got a chance here ilara 9 M away from the Line and the knock one from [Applause] Jill hoping for an opening they absolutely be and need to be the side that does score Nick they are still very much in this game and Robinson’s pass to Barrett with slick Callaway combines Reeves goes for the line will he make it
No meter out kellway gets a wave on the right goes the other way maai the pass goes to the ground crosses with it oh the bloys on the right of the ground they will be spitting chips well a little bit of luck here for the Steelers because the referee as you can
See from his arm signal there has given the the feed to elar team saying b m have knocked on great ball from Robinson to Barrett and look at the cover tackle here from Steven Jolly the halfback for b m great tackle down low combining with Kennedy to save the try even going left
They looked as though they still had numbers until the pass went ground but here’s their chance again Mai from the scum base he’ll score did he get up down the referee said no lost in goal no doubt he was going to score until Sterling said that he was going
To the mock the mock has got him I know that you were sitting next to me thinking he was going to score I I’m blaming you as much back for Reed regathered before it hit the ground Callaway Robinson for Barrett his kick is looking for timans coming down the ground but Withers is
Back there will he get it back smashed him over the top that move by Will Milford silly penalty absolutely ridiculous play there from Sha Timmons Andrew Farah must be just sitting up there thinking well not going to play with that much first grade experience he’s only a youngster but
He’s played a lot of first grade just do something so obviously wrong it’s working like a a well oiled machine at the moment B may it’s just very confident very methodical you know it’s easy to play that way when you’re 12 points in front on the scoreboard everything from the Melbourne cricket
Ground as the blues will endeavor to wrap it up the series ilara really need to prevent B from scoring here to keep themselves in the game they’re just showing signs of tiredness and frustration 10 m out Robinson Barrett to the line that is Bristo two on two for
Timmons H Barett this is the last chance Stimson comes away for Bel May [Applause] well that’s just not going to happen for them B too good in covering and the pass just not find the mark Glen Ary threw the flick straight into some Bain cover defense and play he’s just worked the D
Down since coming on times he’s taking up twice in the set of six tackling everything that moves he’s really putting a lot of pressure on the suu suu getting a pass back on the inside Glen a is there to oh hson Smith H was hit by Hudson Smith and the Bells Are
Ringing a beautiful hands cliffer down the Left Flank Center kick well there was that was beautiful work there from John Cross he got the ball to clip with the crowd they’re booing because they believe that Clifford when he kicked the football was taken out the touch judg has come in and
That may well still be the ruling just look at the quick hands from that man there John Cross onto Rodwell onto Clifford he puts a kick through well in the belmain players defense he wasn’t looking at the [Applause] man in front of the uprights Barrett turning it in David
Cox Barrett maai oh he threw the dummy well he’s the play out that has been most dangerous he deserved the try and he got it we’re given him plenty of reps during the game but this fell is a champion of the future Trent Barrett two rcks in a row he’s virtually seemed to
His teammates get out of the way my ball and on the second Ru was able to prize open the defense with a deaf little dummy he’d been serving up passes all night to the early Runner to the late Runner to the inside Runner now he’s close enough to say it’s mine Brar to
Get on on the board because B was so methodical now they’re within range and all of a sudden a couple of loose passes not as good set of six Sinclair running is Smith to the 30 m line B by six last tackle 75th minute coming up Jolly now
Is Milford onside or offside the back down is for Withers Withers gets it away and it is star Adam star he gets the try and he also wraps up the match for the balain Tigers 166 with a kick to come and Steven Jolly whose last one
Went over the sideline on the full put up the high kick the lottery Philly seru does not handle this well at all little bit of a help there from laoa Milford to knock it back to Michael Withers he was tackled by Reeves but he found the big
Front rower who’s covered a lot of territory tonight going next to the post it be interesting Peter if we can get a wide shot again of that kick from jolly because I think Milford was probably 2 or 3 m in front of the kicker he jumped the
Gun and he was the player that was able to get through and bat the ball back the Tigers aren’t worrying about it you’ll see Milford way over here on the left hand side yeah I I reckon he’s offside I thought he was offside in the call and
He’s he got to stay outside the 10 m perimeter I must admit I thought the referee AR when you’ve had the aid of that and if he was offside it was only a meter yeah I’ve like the refere performance tonight I think he’s he’s contributed to
A good flowing game as suu he’s had an unhappy night he has well as a football coach you talk to your team long and hard about eliminating mistakes from your game you tend to expect and and tolerate a few you’re only human the $1,000 no man of the match also the winner the
8110 noia Mayo B goes a lock forward for B man Hudson Smith well mate you replace Glenn Morrison who was on in fine form he started off the season getting a couple of games and uh good to see you back mate yeah a few injuries and uh you
Know been on the bench been on the bench for most of the year and uh just happy to get a run on on the starting side well a tremendous start for the Tigers in the first hard LED 12- n at halftime did the memories of lard come back after
The first round against AAR yeah it certainly did uh we knew AAR come out far in the second half and uh junior jumped into us at half time what happened in the first in the first round you the best thing about the balain performance obviously was their defense
Uh unbelievable didn’t make a mistake coming out of trouble but the defense really shot off anything that ilara could produce yeah well uh ilara got on top of us in the first round we knew we had to match him in the forwards and you know all the forwards played really well
Tonight well Hudson congratulations you’ll probably be there next week mate good on you I hope so thanks very [Applause] much
