makes fights that's the way it is with rugby league the Tigers have a good record against the dogs but look the dogs some of their players are in great form none better than Mason home early their forwards have been very aggressive in the last couple of weeks just one change and that is Off the Bench tonight for them at fullback Luke Patton on the wings hm El maery and Matt utai Jamal alisi will chonga a very dangerous Center pairing ban as 58 Bren Sheran at halfback a back R Tony galdi Willie Mason and Andrew Ryan Marco Milly Adam Perry Steve price is the captain their interchange reny matur and Roy asasi Cory Hughes Dennis Scott coached by Steven fakes Tony Archer he's in charge he blows time on Friday Night Football underway again can Left Right tigers with patteron coming away 15 out from Their Own Line buer a dummy half run flirting with the sideline 5 five m in from the Eastern side and that is Alford the number four backwards really pummeled loses the ball R led the defense with o Tigers lucky to get out of that as lightly as they have m is the dummy half no Center for movement the 12 for the Tigers Tony is lafrankie now scandalis never takes a backward step galdi takes his legs right side first receiver Satler left foot kick very deep taken in the in go on the full by Luke Patton comes back to the 20 M line for the restart 150 first grade games for Patton tonight and the kick way too deep there from Scott Satler actually walked in with Scott and his parents they're both down tonight for this one quietly confident and Willie Mason got the Mohawk tonight last of the mohin price and R sideline well I'll tell you the most impressive thing about tonight R is the crowd I mean it's probably 50/50 support there that much Bulldog support board here tonight you'd reckon the Tigers were playing at the Bulldogs home ground conditions perfect too this is the best the ground has looked at this time of the year in any season there's the [Applause] mohen who said we'd Seen the Last of them Shan's kick brought back by Richards the number five running at Willie Tonga Tonga gets some help from Ryan settler now MIT put down by a with Perry nasales he played earlier in the year and it was a win for the Tigers up at Gosford Prince well he had a fair shot at the ball lafrankie dogs coming up with it just beyond their own 35 meter Point price taken down on 40 scandalis pattern and M the tacklers OM met by Satler now the Frankie comes in to add some weight no score opening minutes opening exchanges of Friday Night Football Ryan penalty first of the game goes with the doggies back out the top and hand on the ball mate not acceptable well this is a very important set of Six coming up defensively for the home team the the crowd are going to play a part tonight they have to be given something to cheer about early and that's denying the opposition Steve price takes it inside 30 25 away from the line Mason again not only does he attract here's a ball going away for Perry he attracts attention from the opposition and from the crowd every time he touches the ball and Nesta fires a pass for the dancing willly Tonga 2 m out from the line play it back for Andrew Ryan now for Steven Price thinks about a try thinks about a captain's try unselfishly gives it back to Perry and Perry scores the dogs four points on the board no inquiries and too simple Steve price forced to step back in and where he was forced to step it was space he takes the ball here as we freeze it on the Bundy Ram he's gone and comes back in and as play continues he steps into space there holds off two Defenders offloads it beautifully straight through the middle referee is in good position to rule on this one and a couple of early mistakes have cost West Tigers dearly hasm bangs it over now he needs only four to reach 200 in the season for the fourth year running only one man in league has ever done that Eric Sims Andrew Voss and everything to like about the Bulldog so far even their warmup tonight I'm told was outstanding they look so full of purpose tonight they may have won their last six matches in a row which equal their best run of last year but it's almost as if tonight we launch our bid for the finals Tigers now just the start they did not want well he must have used a very high kicking te because that ball achieved remarkable elevation from the kickoff played by o now for Mason and Mason grappled down on the 20 M Mark by the other second row Galia who gets involved in that tackle with M wearing nine and L Frankie with 12 Payton is in eight now price Beyond 40 good offload Steven then for Perry now for Patton the generals looking for a gap almost a halfway played and they go Blindside Sherwin a nter they handle it's gone over to El mazri he will play the ball no it was Utah a big your well M would be playing right side obviously now the kick from manaster also High Brett Hudson tackled on his own 10 m line thrown down by Ryan that was a great take by Brett Hudson he had to make a late Readjustment some really nice second phase play from the Bulldogs so far tonight Willie Mason getting offload away with three inter attention and now we've seen Steve price do the same will defense of the dogs led by Ryan again scandalis takes on Mason 30 m line Mason putting scandalis away here's N9 on nine M wins the battle initially but then price puts him away Prince gets a kick in from D half utai running away from a fairly heavily accommodated Eastern stand 20 in from touch 40 m out patteron now stepping off his left foot Patton swerving around pton to the halfway line Perry Tri scorer a the runner a put down 42 M out from the line tackled there by scandales together with lafrankie again Perry one of the underrated number Nines in the competition share information down the blind they go play on for patteron beats another M gets him around the ledge 20 out from the line they go over to sherin's right foot it's high straight at the uprights up got the jumpers off the cross bar out to the 20 for the restart well that saves having to catch it doesn't it Brett Hodson was waiting for that under the pose he had players streaming through on him and the cross pass saved the cross pass saved any decision got a high shot here I know when you're a kicker you try to hit the crossbar but you rarely [Applause] do and we'll see a cany player penalized in the form of Willie Mason there if it's high it's only fractionally high it's a pretty tame one I think by high tackle standards I'll tell you something about the Bulldogs they're up for this tonight I think that loss in the first round or round 11 when they were beaten by the Tigers has stung them into action and the Tigers too I love this part of the Season you get down to the back end of July and suddenly the teams On The Fringe of the eight like your tigers and Newcastle really start to rescue their season they really start to fight for their lives this is interesting he's on report but let me tell you Todd Payton did not want to come off they've just decided to take the free interchange M nor repter concern Tim sh dogs have won six straight they go to the top of the competition ladder tonight with a victory and end in their Premier League game tonight Sun Bill Williams Jamie Jonathan th Ben Harris All In Action they are as healthy as Gibbs is on in 17 replacing Peyton scandalis again loses the ball this time on the halfway line look at Mason going in picking Perry up off the ground sporting chance tonight a chance of winning a couple of thousand together question which team will score the most tries in tonight's game number 18926 and entry is Clos at the end of tonight's telecast and a shot there of Todd pyton here is Tonga outside his man chased and pulled down by bu not Hill referee said play on 15 out from the line Hudson eventually makes the tackle now it's away for NASA here is Sherwin short Ball mason Mason to the 10 the dogs throwing everything at the Tigers early it's Sherwin back into the middle Ander is tackled desperate stuff there from scandalis together with Satler played back to Perry flyed out to Sherwin o i fancy knocks on penalty right there he got a call from his touch judges he played Advantage it was knocked on by the dogs they will elect to kick for goal which again is another indication of their respect for the Tigers that's Billy what he makes it now is that a m hen or has he just been interrupted during the haircut it looks like he's been look at Willie Tonga breaking to the outside this fell is really blossomed since origin time he's got the ability to beat his man one-on-one he's a real Jack in the Box an exciting young player in our game and here you can see the Tigers players running up offside trying to get a jump start on their defense Bulldog's knock it on Advantage was played penalty to the Bulldogs just going back to that haircut of Willie Mason looks like he was in the bar his chair and someone said they're booking a car outside and he's running up before it's over forgot to go [Applause] back El mazri another two points takes them out to8 nothing 12 minutes gone Friday Night Football on [Music] [Applause] nine Welcome to our overseas networks our colleagues Partners in the UK and in New Zealand pugin welcome Richards kicks off frighten to give it a a big thump and here's [Music] o there by the second rowers G and lafrankie and again by the same two just beyond the caner 20 M line it was G second receiver this time is Steven Price pulled down by Michael Butner together with Satler then to the left of the ground for Andrew Ryan short pass chance for the Tigers Richards zero 30 out Perry going in on top of Ryan to really dominate The Tackle Satler comes bumping away from Mason and O played by Scott Satler then to Scott Prince now way here is Galia wearing 11 he's at the 20 M line 22 m in from tou western side lafrankie picked up and put down never above the horizontal though tackled out there by Lisi to the middle of the ground for Prince he shows it twice then he gives it to Hudson beautiful play that is a superb piece of work by Scotty Prince he dummed he dummed and then gave it and Hudson has gone through An Almighty Gap lovely football oh Scott Prince at his best some real slight of hand involved after Willie Tonga coughed up the football Ander Ron hitting him on the shoulder with that pass and in the next set of six he goes across whe Scott Prince gets the football now he threes it there he's got that Defender to come in with the second dummy and that will get him on the outside and allow that man to go through in Bret Hodson as play continues throws the pass created an overlap they didn't have to take advantage of the overlap because the hole had opened beautiful work from Scots he actually lets the football leave his hand the second dummy yeah but it's an old it's an old play from coach Timmy Sheen he used to use this back at penth in 1976 the double pineapple he used to call it two inside Runners show and go and see what the defense does and that time the defense made a mistake and Hodson was there to pick up the reward for great play by Scotty Prince Hodson he was man of the match against the dogs in round 11 when they beat them at Gosford he gets the try he fails the conversion Andrew I've said it before about Scott Prince Tim Sheen's not happy about the Mis conversion at 84 but anything we see from Scott Prince this year and we've seen plenty I think we're going to see better next year when you're talking about a player that in 2003 only played seven games in 2002 only got on the field for for two games because of the the injuries he had with the broken legs and what have you he's now got origin experience under his belt this is the first of a three-year contract of the Tigers they're going to do well with young Scott Prince and what a season for Brett Hodson as well the TR scorer 11 tries for them he's now he's third on the ladder behind Michael De and hasim El maer and his teams running 11 this is Gibbs 12 out from his own line Galia dominant Los his legs evidentally Steven no the chief executive of the Tigers asked me to send a a good luck call to Jimmy Piper the The Fabulous breast stroker who leaves tomorrow with the Olympic swimmers from all the boys at West Tigers to their number one supporter Jim it's good luck holding halime Mark O'Neal speaks for the first time about his controversial clash with the storms Danny Williams Mark O'Neal at Hal timee this kick very very big back to the line with Utah buttin the first there leading the charge with Alford that's better from the Tigers they came down after that one good set of six bed it down the corner now come down dis had a little bit of punishment in defense they're in the game now the tong out tackle was high aancy Willie leave it Willie leave it don't need you here Willie at all Bryce go keep him down right he knows it's against Gibbs Bryce Gibbs this is the high shot and Willie tonger it's hit the ball and bounced up under the chin well how are you going to dish out punishment in defense if the referees won't let you that's not a high shot that's not worthy of a penalty and get out of trouble cheap you got to expect that when you're running the ball off your own Laine he played it price runs it scandalis and Gibbs make the tackle 42 M out now from the Tigers line Perry running at a player trying to get back on side looking to draw a penalty he's had an outstanding opener to the game Perry now Sherwin here's galdi wide offload one-handed catch Sheran in they come Loi El mazri 9 M out from the line 84 the scoreboard caner leading Sherwin passes l and look at this pass of the nas out to Tonga trouble for the Tigers tonga's in Willie tonger has scored the dog second try of the night beautiful passing 10o stuff radar like 124 in a couple of movements here the play before where Willie Mason stopped them through the football and they came to the right wing was outstanding as well Bren Shan getting on the outside galdi beautiful offl to shoot who stayed alive and then Jamal elisi finds hmel Mai and then they hit back the other way bre the N had a great running game so far catches it as he threes it there you can see that he's going to hit the outside man who is already outside the defender's play continues goes to the wide man he's outside the number four Alfred slides in between Winger and Center beautiful width towith play by the dogs I haven't seen them run as fast to look as possess for quite a while the the Bulldogs said it earlier they're here to play and they certainly are and this fell just backs his ability now where at one time he was wondering whether or not he was good enough to play first grade now he's asking the question are you good enough to stop me and he's just he's taking everyone on doesn't matter who they are reputation experience give me the ball I want to have a run haven't we found a couple of beautiful crowd Pleasers in the game this year Willie tonger Carmichael hunt two names that come to mind immediately and of course unfortunately for West Tigers Benji Marshall out injured he's another that fits into that category El masri for the record and he gets it there's the six points reaches 200 in the season for the fourth year in a row it's only ever been done before by Eric Sims from South Sydney Andrew yeah had a good chat with hm before kickoff tonight and he did reveal he was a lot closer to leaving the Bulldogs than probably a lot of the fans think he really needed an answer this week and you'll see kicks like that for another 3 years doggy supporters Richards with the kick off and again as I said earlier achieving this remarkable elevation 14 to4 six points coming off the boot of hm what a kicker has there been a better Kicker than El Maser I'll tell you something he's likely to crack 300 in a season to be the first first player ever to do that and he's likely to do it this year has there been a better Kicker o Ry Tonga looking for his Winger but he wasn't there utai he couldn't keep up the pace of the game the dogs they've set the stopwatch and they're saying come on keep coming keep raiding keep busting and there's the kick by Sherwin hi Brett Hudson wonderful take in the face of this defense that is absolutely pummelling look at this you got BLS coming down you're like human tanks stands his ground gets a penalty now the Tigers up I'll tell you one about the West Tigers R this season they have never trained at night which is unusual you would think especially coming into a Friday night match even for fullbacks just to in some way climatize I guess to these kind of conditions but Tim Sheen has opted to have daylight sessions All Season talking about night time the dogs this year have won seven of nine played under lights Gibbs plays the ball Prince magical stuff earlier now taking the ground is Gia tackled out there by Tonga Prince starts The Blind Side working Hudson for Richard kick ahead by Richard he'll win the race it's Touch and Go the video referee is Graham West he wants to check the put down if it's a try it's been performed in a very narrow Corridor by Pat Richards they created a good overlap down the short side something can have worked hard at tonight Brett Hodson getting involved through the cutout pass after Matt Udi came in to get Shane Alford and Pat Richards kicks through little bit of interference from Luke Patton but that's okay now we've got the front rower Steven Price I believe from that shot it might be price who gets the right hand to the football first to knock it out of the path of Pat Richards well it should be a penalty to the Tigers if it's NOS try what about Steven Price how are they ever going to replace this player that's a front rower running back in defense hot footing it with a Winger to save his team a try down in his own in goal let's have a look did Luke Patton interfere because it's try price has definitely got there before Pat Richards well I'm quite sure that Patton has interfered with Richards no doubt in the world he got to be a penalty yeah he just runs across and knocks him over the sideline yeah he has and it would have been a try without it Richards would have got there before price but still a great play by Price well is it a sin bin in a TRC scoring situation I don't think it's sin bable uh Peter but I I'm sure there'll be a penalty and he's right Gus is right he's he's received a massive check in running to coin in turn if he doesn't get the check he wins the [Applause] race no triy penalty Graham West seemingly in the Box every Friday night has got it right and again a tremendous effort by Steven Price I like it when Scotty Prince is flighting across the field throwing those little dummies looking for runners in short holes no long passes you got to look short passes and dummy and go show and go that's what you need on this Bulldog's defense so chance for the Tigers come along the line to Butner Michael tackled around the legs by Sherwin pton to pton couple me out from the line a and Mason and patton they hold him up and then M scoots away and gives it to lafrankie think he will play the ball back to his number nine for the right to Satler and he gets it out to Prince and Prince puts in a kick he's looking for Richards Richard scores lovely Play Again by the Tigers Richards got the try that time take that off him take that off him they can't beautiful execution a couple of passes wide that brings the defense up and then a pinpoint kick Scott Satler gets in the first receiver go a second pass as we freeze it on the Bundy R telestrator you can see the Bulldogs have all come up and the man down the outside is play continuous will score the try go two passes that defens are right on you so hard to turn around and chase all the momentum with the the kicking team and Pat Richards denied moments ago gets his first tonight and I can tell you as a coach Tim sh will be sitting on the sideline he'll have that poker face on as though yeah that's that's that's okay that's okay inside he'll be bubbling with pride because they have practiced that this week they' have rehearsed it against the Bulldogs up and in defense they dragged him up with a few long passes during the set and then when the Bulldogs come up to defend again they poked it in behind the line and they've come up with a try uncontested the Tigers fans in the grand that's what I love about coming to Campbell down too all the young people here to watch the football Hudson just across the face of the uprights and short we must take a break 24 minutes down 48 the dogs over the Tigers and there's the jfa take for TR at $50 Che out the your take a TI here Brath Ana restarts us again as we welcome welcome you back Todd pton was taken in a high shot earlier gets a pass away bu knocks on the dogs will get possession from the scrub 15 out from the line never needed Todd pton takes it up he's being forced back he throws a a a difficult pass a hard pass to Michael Butner bounces off him straight into Willie Mason it was a knock on then even if this man had agre caught it first tackle after scoring so they go to Tonga they go left side go utai takes a dummy half run and then they will probably be thinking about that expansive play of theirs from one side to the other and watch for sherwin's kick across to El maer that could be on here is Sherwin back now to anter anter back to Patton Patton out to El mazri kicks inside goes dead goes dead lovely stuff from the dogs they're pouring it on yeah but it was better defense from the Tigers too this time they all work together watch them sliding across covering trusting each other that was the difference in that play on the tatr in the other Corner they're not trusting each other they're not working as a unit that was better defense from the Tigers dominant lose his leg here's pton no stupid passes that time Gibbs is hit by a and forced back by Perry coming heavy stuff now this is Wilson dominant lose his legs 5 m from halfway price was the tackler he is again the tackler but he wasn't direct you are not he wasn't direct and he brings the penalty on his team yeah good work by Robbie Ms Steve price can talk to the referee all he likes he wasn't Square the referees have been hard on that there you go Robbie Ms knew he wasn't Square ran into him got the penalty for his team and the Tigers will come down into attacking Zone [Applause] again 48 chance to come back to 14 all Gib runs of galdi dominant hold Perry jumps on top M looking for the go-to man he had it for a moment now Payton You Haven't Seen the Last of the number seven yet he's done some magical stuff here he is a ball goes to ground recovered by Satler Satler inside 20 play the ball back to H he goes left and he picks up Galia Galia is taken Again by Perry be played 8 m from the line M to the right to Prince and Prince to pton pton to Ely and now it's away back to Prince he wav Satler back on the inside gets the ball back to Halal he offloads back to Galia the dogs in Sherwin goes in and makes the tackle Ms then off to Prince there goes the bomb from the number seven Richards he flew High knock knock on has been ordered knock on off him forward can knock on yeah can be knock on I thought Richards had got above the pack and knocked it back into the hands of Tonga very disappointed Pat Richards because he is outstanding in in the air they're questioning this decision now I think he's it's a goal line drop out he's calling they'll get possession again good set of six well directed bomb the Tigers were asking the question what about offside sir they're forgetting of course that you can't be offside in your own in goal well I disagree with that decision I think Pat Richards touched that football it was a knock on against him first before the canb play this is Alford 32 M out from the line M away to G busy game for Benjamin playing in the number 11 shirt 20 outs middle of the ground Ms pulled down by Grimaldi cleaned up by Ryan Prince looking counting counting numbers Satler Payton Payton up the middle Mason can't hold him he breaks away he gets it on Hudson he kicks for Richards Richards will score will he oh doesn't get there in time I think it's come off a dog again line drop out it is good pressure from the West Tigers they know that the outside Defenders get up quickly for the Bulldogs pepping them with kicks in behind uai didn't go that far back on that occasion and just as well how good is this for entertainment a it's good football isn't it as I said I love it this time of year I love when teams down around a spot start fighting for their season start fighting for their life what better way to do it and the top team in the competition the team that's the equal leaders at home in front of your own crowd and n's line drop out fielded by Butner taken back by Richards to the 30 m line first tackle Alford on the Satler Satler running the play at Cory Hughes who's on in jumper number 16 for the dogs now for inside ball scan daras to the 20 M line play in the center of the park play back to Ms Ms for Prince he switches the play back to Butner and Butner is swallowed by the defense 15 M out from the line now it comes across Dennis Scott is on to Gia a little kick and cleaned up by Patton at the back played by him back on his own line El mazri is taken by scandalis and pton just a meter into the field of play 14 to8 in favor of the dogs as the score and 10 minutes of the first half to go 56 from nine for Steven Price El masri now tackled by scandalis played back to Cory hes who's playing dummy half obviously then Mason just inside the 20 M line tackled by pton the kick from Sherwin everything that Brent has done tonight he's been matched blow for Blow by the opposite number seven Hudson around Tonga puts on a f it's Hudson now tackled and flung To The Ground by a master quick play the Balo it's come from princeon Gone to Sadler Sadler away to Galia Galia

14 on for the Tigers here's scandalis with the ball Fitz Henry is on for the Tigers scand daras plays the ball plays it back to Fitz Henry then it goes away to pyton pyton is tackled still 5 m out five tackles gone away from Fitz Henry a dummy half out the prince he goes kicking High looking for Richards again but it's marked by utai back to the 20 for the restart they're playing well the Tigers but you got to congratulate the Bulldogs too that's Premiership winning defense five or six sets of six there in the space of 10 minutes and they've turned them away every time give credit where credits you here's Hodson out of the back field lines up Tonga in and the way and around the outside of the youngster just showing him I've still got a few tricks of me own young fellow and a good hit from an and watch this for slam bang ball played by Dennis Scott halfway line dogs in possession just on the tiger side of halfway with price playing the ball back to Cory Hughes and then for will Mason and Mason requires the treatment of three Defenders to pull him down on the 40 m line tiger end they lead by six points as it goes away to anasa he puts a kick in but Hodson is back there well prepared and is tackled inside the 10 m line Tackle by Ryan sideline Dom leg and R yeah Ray will be speak with Mark O'Neal during the halftime break about the events of the last week but impressed with what you've seen so far mark from the Tigers yeah definitely the boys are starting to get a good share of field position now they've put on a few points they just got to hang in the AR wrestle here's a chance again for the dogs Lisi tackled close to the line sloppy play the ball El mazri shn and then it came off the fingertips I feel of mature infected aasi ball has gone forward we will take a break 148 the score 7 minutes to the break balling Friday Night Football coming to you from Campbell toown Sports Stadium tonight where the tigers are hosting the dogs in a game very high on quality some fantastic rugby league has been played both in offense and defense 40 m line for the Tigers now scandalis clear reminding you again that Mark O'Neal will be talking with us at halim talking about last uh last Saturday night Todd pton 78 off n that comes off the back of a high shot so he's done well his game has been cluttered up with a couple of little mistakes however here's Patton a very important 6 s minutes coming up for both teams here so often points are scored late in the half the Tigers have done a great job they've asked a lot of questions against the dogs tonight and canbury against most other sides after this kind of performance would be more than one converted try in front utai tackled by Butner and Richards down that left wing here is price looking to offload he had a runner Scott was absolutely Galloping outside him now Shan with a purposeful kick lovely w G it Richards comes back back into the field of play and runs into Tonga come ony play quickly by Richards and they only just got a dummy half back there in time hodson's with the ball 10 m out from his own line he will play it back to Shane ORD and ORD goes away to Sadler the two penrith Imports to the Tigers this year Prince gives the ball on for pyton Peyton puts his foot down and tries to break through tackled on his own 30 m line goes away now from Fitz Henry to H he's tackled inside the 40 m line three of them in defense there including aasi the ball is away for Prince now he puts the kick deep down it goes bouncing on the 20 M line for utai utai comes back to Butner and Butner and Scandal as they put him down I don't think it'll be too long before one of these sides is penalized for getting inside the 10 try to get up quickly in defense and getting in front of the referee anter drives tonger on the far side very close to the sideline does well to stay in right on the halfway line both coaches has made three interchanges now Ryan running straight at the the center of the ru pulled down out there by ALU now it's with Dennis Scott and Scott almost to the 30 m line looking for points before halftime pulled down by lfrank price it is that carries it on up towards the 20 M line 4 minutes out from halftime the dogs 14 to8 they switch the point of the attack from right to left Sherwin gives it away to anter anter gets away Ana is pulled down 2 m out and that's the turnover seee that was smart play from Bren Shan he was standing on the open side of the field getting ready for his fifth tackle option and he noticed that Michael Butner was struggling back on the short side they didn't have numbers and Butner was struggling for Fitness he went running back to the short side found a nter and nearly plucked a Troy out of nowhere now from Gia they go across the face of the upright Wilson makes a half break 25 out from his own line he's pulled down by elmasri and lissi Moody has had little work over on the left side for the Tigers Fitz Henry is the acting dummy half patow with the ball on his own 40 m line commanding three tacklers to put him to ground last Andrew it's Henry again played on the halfway line now it's with prince prince kicks into vacant space utai comes up the ball bouncing shn it was who fielded it t one and Alford makes the tackle with but little push there it very strict around the play the ball area the referees this year and that's a fine touch finder was a nice little kick from Scott Prince but there wasn't a great deal of intensity from the and again they need some big defense here the Tigers they can't go in any more than six down psychologically it would hurt them just 25 M out from the line and price knocks on double knock on Tigers lose head and feed yeah Steven Price has probably been the best player on the field the opening 38 minutes but he had a little bit of a look Frankie and trying to clean up also knocked on and that shows what kind of game this is a couple of the caner players are looking at the West Tigers coming at them lot of good work being done in defense from both these outfits as Prince feeds on his 20 Prince combining with turn under two minutes to the break Gia has worked tirelessly then a dummy there was a sense of an obstruction hod Hudson sends away from Patton beats another still going Hudson pull down nine out H long pass Fitz Henry Satler Satler 2 m from the line it's Henry again dummies dummies again tries to go through ma making the tackle over there with price from dummy half goes lafrankie held up in goal held up on the last held up on the last tackle take it back an they got one more play left inside the final minute they've got to come up with a good kick option here or maybe take the opposition by surprise in running it Prince first receiver Prince backer goes to Gia back to Butner and that's turn overtime so you're looking at what almost certainly will be the halime score yeah Scott Prince questioned the referee then he said you didn't put the hand up I heard the referee say it's the last tackle on a couple of occasions Patton driven down by Wilson's tackle over the top of Galia Hughes passing to asasi and he's tackled Again by Galia he's done enough work in 40 minutes to get him through the entire game with a with a pass Mark B stand up stand up almost on halime and keeping in mind that Mark O'Neal the victim of the the incident involving he and Denny Williams will be talking to us at halim Phil G will be of course giving his rendition of the first half in Holden halim and Mark O'Neal speaking out for the first time about the events of last weekend after the break it will be hold in halim and your chance to win $2,000 plus that in that interview with Mark O'Neal breaking his Ence on the other side of this break a six-point ball game the dogs over the Tigers at Campbell [Applause] town Tigers left right and it's a very big kickoff and was it knocked on in goal I don't know that it came off his hands Utah in the meantime has made a clean break Utah has run 40 m Utah is tackled by H that is unbelievable the Bulldogs now that's a he's run through looking for support in vain the dogs Hughes getting it away Grimaldi Patton Patton's only a meter from the line Chan will pass to the right out they go it's gone from Lisi El mezri scores they've come 100 yards on a couple of tackles after a s AAL start I'm still not sure that there wasn't a knock on back there from the kickoff that is the unluckiest piece of play I've ever seen the Tigers would go he's he's knocked that on absolutely he's knocked that on El mazri from 22 out two in from TS and he's missed this one a rare moment it is 18 to8 andreos sideline well I got to tell you the message I'm getting out of the dressing rooms at halim having spoken with the the Tigers training staff and the Bulldogs training staff you got two fairly happy coaches St folks quite simple with his instructions no shortcuts to victory tonight this could have made an awful big difference though the The Touch by Matty utai and the fans at the ground seeing that they're upset by it has lifted the the decb there in the crowd for the second half and from Tim Sheen three points discipline stay in the battle be patient here's Steven Price tackled 10 m out from his own line well if you're the tigers that should just fire you up that should just say okay let's get it out of our heads and rip into these people if we're not going to get the bounce of the ball we got to make it happen for ourselves Andrew Ryan running off a Cory Hughes pass and linking up with aasi who does with Sheran and then with Patton and he's tackled Over the Top by scandales here's a dummy half and again the runners from asasi Roy who even though there's a lot of negativity about the try he played a big part as did utai they simply played the whistle terrible luck hodon oh gee that's great he took the Gamble and it paid off well he had to it was a 4020 if he hadn't have played it the football he did it superbly Alford now wonderful show of skill but I would think that the 400 odd game veteran coach Timmy shs has had a contion there he could have thrown that anywhere it's landed in his teammate Bread Basket he's gone for the coffee have a look at that can you believe that he said here is lafrankie taken down on the 40 m line by the ad that is Dennis Scott who came on at the back end of the first half Wilson in three played the ball now prince who had uh an impeccable first half he kicks a dead and it'll come out to the 20 M line for the optional restart 18 away we all know the Tigers were involved in a controversial in incident last week and that lifted themy H looked like they were going to get overrun P bills right they need to react positively to that disappointment as Willie chonga push towards the [Applause] sideline Ryan finding uai with a full head of steam and he's met and forced back by the Tigers defense led by scandalis 30 m line for the dog Sherman for asasi they pick him up and pile him into the ground there's Utah He's not well did feel the full brunt of the uh the defense Scott Hughes asasi this is good work Hughes keeping the the pot boiling and ASA gets the ball away and it's the dogs with Ryan playing the ball about 45 M out from the Tigers line Sheran kicks looks for the reather beaten with the buch by but now Great Stop Mar but you made the tackle before four it was an important tackle too Andrew Ryan trying to get the football away they were down the left side and then he's got back in position g into the in the clear Galia has got Patton turned around he turned him inside out gave it to Prince Prince's tackled oh what a tackle what a beautiful tackle it was lissi it's a penalty oh why didn't he play the advantage no if he picks it up from the play of the ball and goes left a score then put him in the bin no no you can't give a penalty there what's he thinking dond go stand up so the Tigers stand up with nothing going for them in the second half can they score here L franki that's a try is it he wants to go to the video referee laf franki I think he's put it down on the line well let's hope if he has because they were pulled up on the bust after benier Got Away way too early from that angle looks like he might have come up short and then pushed it out we'll get a better shot Frankie getting close to the line I don't like it I think he loses the football and it is a green light they've got a bit of luck working for them yes and rightly so great Bust from Balia Scot backed up and then for some inconceivable reason the penalty was awarded straight away before playing any advantage for the home side lovely left foot step and the big F from Bengal a another step when he came to Luke Pat Scott Prince is gathered in from behind by Jamar Lai and the penalty now is given immediately against galdi they had numbers to the left they' have scored unfortunately for the Tigers they scored two rcks later and four should become six so Brett Hudson will convert the try scored by lafrankie they've turned four into six it's 1814 the dogs over the Tigers galdi sbin will be back in a moment Friday Night Football and what an episode of it we're watching great game of football but if the tigers are beaten by by this margin on the board at the moment they will be spitting chips from now till Christmas time I'm going back to the knock on from the kickoff I'm referring to an advantage that wasn't played the start of the second half lady like just has absolutely deserted them halow plays the ball now Fitz Henry this is the prince his kick has got Patton going across towards the middle away from the uprights goes Luke Patton he's taken down there awkwardly by Galia got his head in the wrong place but he's all right elmaz dominant three of them going in now Fitz Henry was one of them Gibbs was another hug taken down by Butner and Sadler play back to asasi give it away to Scott Scott gets a pass away his U tie down the left side he beats alord here comes the support tongra went to his outside he wanted him to go the other way but the dogs are on the Rampage they're inside the 20 M line it's with El mazri it is with katton they're inside the 10 they're still going with Lisi now it's with Sheran Sheran to Ryan Ryan for the line is short plays it quickly Loi fires it back to anasa he's got score he's over the line Brean a up scores for the dods ad Jon to the uprights that's great stuff from the caner side and it started with a beautiful cut out pass from Dennis Scott Scott's off to the Melbourne storm for the next two seasons but a great ball here to Matt uai they've got some intercep ability on this side with Pat Richards and Shane Alford but they were caught out there they paid the penalty there thinking because the Bulldogs were down to 12 men that maybe they' try and tighten it up not the Bulldogs I don't care if they got 10 12 13 or whatever if they see space they move the ball and the Tigers got lulled into it they had them down their own end they allowed Dennis Scott to get the pass outside them and from there the Bulldogs rarely miss when they get you on the back foot he's well online after 18 games 172 points his record last year this year he's 194 from 17 games That's not including tonight 2412 Andrew just how good is this R we've only had 10 minutes of this second half the crowd so into the battle I don't think the players can keep up the speed of this first 10 minutes to start the second half Steve folks has been very light on with his use of The Interchange tonight in fact only three in the first half he sent out Ren mature for the first time tonight in Jump of 14 Marco M about to go back into the battle all right Andrew thank you for that as Bren Sherwin brings it out to the 20 M line for the the blue and white club that will celebrate 70 years ear on Wednesday night from berries to bulldogs look at that tackling pummeling as I said [Applause] earlier move five changes the Tigers four changes the dogs as Cory Hughes gets away and gets it onto anasta to Patton to Ryan lurking out wide and enjoying it and then three of them go in to try and put him down Satler was one of them ORD another here's Tonga and Tonga will play the ball about 5 m on opposition side of halfway play back to Cory Hughes and given off to Brent Sherin he punches the ball into the corner where it is Pat Richards who brings it back and he's tackled 20 me out from the Tigers line and don't forget a chance to win $2,000 in sporting chance the question which team will score the most tries in tonight's match SMS number 1 18926 entry Clos at the end of tonight's telecast and time out blood B blood bloodb Cory Hughes first cut sh that's bad refering you know that Bulldog player I reckon with six me offside from that play the ball he jumped the gun the referee didn't make him come back to the mark the tiger player ran straight at him looking for the penalty and we get a stoppage for a blood V got were four offside not just the one scandalis now at 24 points to 14 the the score in favor of Canterbury right on the halfway line fifth tackle and Prince puts in a kick into a vacant space he's got patn going across into the corner to run it away Sadler's there waiting for him and with Ms they put him down played by Patton back to Hughes who was repaired very quickly and this is M second tackle 2414 10-point ball game the games between these two clubs since uh B and western suburbs merged the score lines have been always fairly close very rarely does it get past a 10-point um a 10-point differential there was a blowout score I think here when the dogs last played that at Campbell town but that's the only one here's Ryan on the halfway line he plays the ball Hughes runs down the left side puts it out on the full you see r games like this when it's played at the intensity like this and the passion you've got I don't even look at the SC scoreboard I don't care I wouldn't even know what the score is now all I know is that both these teams are just ripping into each other and one of them is playing for their life and the other one's trying to stay on top of the Premiership table this is football that's [Music] best standings coming into tonight dog second on percentages MP's Tigers 11th so they can go to number eight if they win the Tigers the dogs would drop to number three if they were [Applause] beaten so Prince goes back and picks up settler oneon-one Ana gets the ball bra Ana will play it on the cbury 40 m line no markers available Ryan passes to price price gets it back to Hughes who thought about passing and then decided against it got to hang on here the Tigers they look tired this first 15 minutes has been franic o good pass Patton Patton working up the middle of the ground pull down and tackled 35 M out by Satler played back to Cory Hughes then to break the Nast up and now to Willie Tong up finds a gap steps in steps out and then is pulled down just inside the Western t line they're 15 M out from the line Ryan goes to anter anter goes to the 10 m line the kick has come off one of the Tigers anter kicks the game there's a rush for the ball forced in goal by the Tigers she's backing his ability to KN bre The Nest up as UT's got a problem coming towards the sideline throw it away Scott limping badly doesn't look as though he's ready to stretch out but an naster really backed his own ability there he had players in support on the outside put the short one in got a Ricochet came into it again look to get another one into the in goal handled by but got a tow on it tried to fight round but Hodson was there so the Dropout coming down on the halfway line bit better than that Patton for CHR over the 40 m line first tackle will be made look at the strength of this man taken down by a three-man tackle Hughes dolles a pass up for Ryan Ryan has found a step he's found a great step and now he plays the ball back to Hughes 20 M out o he finds Sherwin running a lovely angle and Sherwin plays the ball 12 out from the line Hugh again aner again cut out ball for Tonga Tonga gets it away and utai drops the ball knock off and the S is over for galdi and we've seen Willie tonger in the last couple of plays on some beautiful footwork on his opponent Shane Alford there Matt UT unable to take the football to the sideline to have that that cut repaired you're allowed to go back behind the play and have some running repairs done and if that doesn't succeed the next time you've got to leave the field and an interchange is counted then providing a didn't come from Foul Play here's Elfin tackled by Ryan and now pton running through Ely and pulled down by Mata as Cory Hughes gets that head bandage on and there's that's an example from Bryce Gibbs of just trying too hard he got an awful pass but it was catchable it's where the middle of the road teams can shoot themselves in the foot sometimes the top teams when it's absolutely vital they catch those balls they throw them out in front where it's easy to run on to sometimes a little bit of nerves and anxiety in the other teams can just force an era that wasn't necessary so the dogs of their few mistakes it can happen to the top teams too I'm not saying it can't happen to the top teams St folks will be be very disappointed with that from Jamal Ali first tackle from a scrum win ah dear R here Jamal you made a ding out trying to give him a rap rabbit so what do they do here's buner almost breaking through don't bash yourself up too much coach now it's come away from Galia for Hudson and the play was well read by Tonga Galer again to the halfway mark to dog hold by mat and Ely played back to Ms and now it's with Gibbs and Gibbs one thing on his mind hang on to the football brycey boy plays it back for Wilson it's gone on to pton he will play the ball 32 me is out from the line tackled by Lisi Prince then he goes to the air again over to Richards Richards goes high so too does utai that's an amazing take by utai he's not 100% Matt utai but he came up with a wonderful effort there against Pat Richards I think this is a tactic the tiger should persevere with kick the Richards Wing M then trying to break through but Gibbs is there m gets up in in number the initial tackle made by halow this is Perry as we go into the final quarter of this game the Tigers must be the next to score if they to win the match Ryan another outstanding game by Andrew Ryan tonight Sherwin a one-handed pickup works the blind puts a kick in alford's able to snatch it out of midair then he is pulled down by Tonga 40 m out from the target line Hodson runs across the park trying to create something for them on the left side he plays the ball on halfway way M gets it on to prince prince gets the pass away at precisely the right time but the defense was brilliant over there from Lisi it's played by Galia helal runs straight ahead to the 30 m line where he's held up there by mat and om played on the 30 m gives away to Satler Satler towards the 20 M line now it's pulled down by 24 points to 4 the score as Prince again tries the same tactic Richard has got the ball this time and he comes down short turnover to the dog going to sleep Andrew Ryan oh he needed to get it to the end goal catch and score got the ball but he just couldn't get to the end goal utai plays the ball now Ryan gets it out towards the 20 M line he's pulled down there by Gibbs and Ms and then Perry then o it's a loose ball the Tigers had a shot at they've got it just outside the 20 M line it's played back to Wilson gone away from Gibbs and gone on to Prince and Prince gets it away to Moody he's tackled 22 M out from the canary line trailing by 10 points the Tigers Prince over to Hudson just need to get a bit of control here first couple of plays haven't been good although Hodson nearly gets through gets the pass away to Alford there's a try on ord's over alford's over that's a try the tigers are four point up 24 kick the well the first two plays were quite ordinary they didn't have players in the right position then all of a sudden they've come to the right hand side and Shane ORD who took an intercept to wrap up the game in round 11 gets a very important try tonight defense forced the mistake and then at the end of it we see Shane Alford put a really good move on Luke Patton comes across to the TR scorer after Brett Hodson gets through gets foot as we freeze it there you'll see alred he'll go in and away as play continues on the Bundy rum tellr to the right footstep really poor attempt from Luke Patton disappointed there it is off the boot looks okay it's there the flags are in the air the tigers are down by Four Points a game 62 minutes gone Friday Night Football what a game what a game hope you're enjoying it you're watching get on the N Net work on the Wide World of Sports in Campbell toown Sports Stadium the dogs one of the favorites to win the Premiership 24 the tigers fighting to stay in the semi-final race of 20 the Tigers outside the 40m line now with Wilson tackled on the halfway by Amel and Perry play back for M and M runs to the markers had they split had they divided the answer is no it's gone from saer and G to Prince and he puts in a low kick into some vacant pasture they have to come in from everywhere El masri is with the ball and he runs into Gibbs and Galia and is put down that's a good set from the Tigers after scoring points quick play the balls they got Scott Prince into a good kicking position and the chase was excellent they came 90 M so we got El mazri now being taken by Harrison I think you find it is out there in jumper number six steam a runs at Gibbs and is made and pull down good tackle by the young man Sherman away for Mason Mason running it at Butner getting it away to Perry Perry gets it on to Andrew Ryan halfway line tackled by Butner then per now NASA on the halfway line You'll Find touch about 13 M out from the line brathan nter said we need a spill normally puts the big high Punk kick up into the heavens this time he said let's get it out of the sideline let's have a walk let's regroup these blacks won't go away we've played our best 40 minutes of football in the first half and they're still here 165,000 people here I love football at Campbell town the best thing about this is the number of kids you see in the crowd young people coming out to support the game it's a great place to come to play football here they are working it outside or just about outside inside their own 20 M line I must have misread or didn't get the press release when you became the publicity officer for the the Tigers here at Campell town we'll be here every fortnite if you have your own way played over there by Harrison it's come away to pton pton is tackled on the 30 m line can we come during summer moody moody is held by Amel and Perry hands off and and Wilson has come from the field of play here's a Break by Ms the little number nine pulled down there by um mature it was and then Prince puts in a kick down to Patton back in the corner off the western side of the ground he runs and he's met by Satler and Butner plays the ball thir out from his own line his uai with a forward run from the Winger the body language has changed out there it's now the Bulldogs who are looking a little bit tied Phil it out you don't often see Brath nter in that position of a game kick kick that is not an attacking one but he wanted to find touch they coming home strongly the Tigers and they're moving up quickly putting pressure on Mason attracting Defenders 10 Changers Tigers only seven for the dog as a nter puts in another kick similar to the previous one this time it's fielded by Hodson out to the 20 using Richards who he fancies might have more more Petrol in his tank and Richards is forced down and put away by Ryan and Sheran and Perry Richards plays the ball Hodson gives the pass the three paramet players Richards Hodson and now Moody when I say the paramet players formerly from that that great Club then it's gone from Galia and gone to pton pton is tackled on the 30 m line 18 m in from the Eastern grand stand and not one Patron has left the ground at this moment that is for sure because they get the feeling as a few other people do that the tigers are coming home here's a penalty to them had to be a penalty of Marco M that's the fifth set of six in a row where on the fourth tackle Robbie MIRS has run from dummy half trying to extract the penalty and this time he's drawn the ogre into it Marco mury he got there too late Mark got there as quick as he could but he got there too late that's been excellent dummy half play by by Robie M just under 14 minutes of the match remaining prince it's gone along to Galer it's gone on to Harrison and over on the far side of the ground the Tigers will play the ball with Alfred now it is Moody coming away Moody will play the ball 22 M out on the second 24 to 20 the score the dogs in front Ms and Galia they combine taking play to the 12 m point then it's buner buner looking for the line he's pulled down on tackle number four 2 m out from the line played back to Hodson Hodson to m m cuts out Galia goes out to Prince another cut out pass make the SLE up and he's put away on five play back to Prince again now they lost ground it's now gone with helow he puts in a kick Patton goes back and the dogs are going to get

will player tackled by m Patton loses his footing stand and he's pulled down by Payton m in an assist tackle Ryan again fending with his right hand making valuable meters it's out to the 40 m line it's gone from Perry gone to price to Sherwin Sherwin kicks I think he might have kicked from inside 40 it doesn't matter anyway hodson's with the ball he gets it away to Big Moody Moody's tackled by galdi 40 m away from the Tigers line mner using Galia Galia switching the point back to Hudson Hudson comes to Perry Perry's got him and Hudson losing ground with the football Satler now he has a go

M out from the Canterbury line it's come back and away and here is buner buner one to beat turns it back hel H is over that no he's lost the ball oh they go to the video referee a candid player has come up with the ball it's Matt Utah I think Che out he's a very good hole Runner Michael buttin always has been halow getting over the line with momentum taken out that's fine it's a one-on-one strip although wasn't there two in the tackling well the fact that the other fellas dropped off yeah well it's up to the discretion then let's get on with the game no try goal line drop [Applause] out goal line Dropout pressure time again now for Canterbury I'd have like to see M to take him take on the man himself just go for the corner having said that his support player got over the line so it's hard to knock it by the way just some bad news for the Target possible fracture AR for the center John Wilson here's Richards 30 m out from the CLE line halow an amazing save by Matt Utah I'm still not convinced that Mason did not play a part in the attempted tackle on Hal stand up to Payton will play the ball 11 Out Center ground Ms for prince prince for Galia and gal is held there by Perry how many times have we said that tonight here's M within a meter of the line tackled on the fifth tackle settler to prince prince puts a kick in he's looking for hella Tower but it's too deep it's too deep it is a 20 M restart 2420 the score the dogs over for the Tigers and that's now six sets of six in a row where Robbie M has run on tackle four and he knew he pulled their pants down that time that was nearly try time give credit to the dogs though too they're defending grimly On Their Own Line This is a super game of rugby leag raldi inside thir El masri there would love the can decide to get him or gruan into a kicking position here which will be an attacking one the last few of just been trying to pick up position or the sideline they haven't been down the other end of the field to put a bomb up or one in goal for 15 minutes here is Mason running at a 45° angle and pulled down by Butner Cory Hughes gets the pass away for sherwin's kick Sheran goes up in the air up down it comes to a Nar gets it out the back to Ryan Ryan puts a kick in the dogs are on side Moody makes a mistake back there well I go back to catching the bomb there I think there's a bulldog player offside I'm not denying that Moody's come up with a a poor knock on there's the kick from Ryan but the offside play came earlier two Bulldog players went for it and the player in front actually grabbed the ball both of them touched it one played it to the other biggest set of six of the game biggest set of six of the season coming up for the West tigers so the dogs with Shan using pattern now on the right side of the ground tackled by Alfred and Moody now it is with Lisi and he is tackled 8 m out from the line Second tackle down for the dog leading and cuddling up a four-point lead at the moment here's Mason up the middle Mason tackled and put away by no fewer than five of the Tigers got involved there that's away for Shan Shan for a nasta a n for Ryan and Ryan is tackled 2 m out from the line played back to Utah over it goes to Sheran he passes the ball on to Cory Hughes a run around from Sherwin Sherwin links up now to mat mat is p down by 3 me out from the line played back for galdi he

Arch Rivals it doesn't matter what you're talking about western suburbs versus Canterbury or belm versus Canterbury they are staging a tremendous game of football here tonight for us Hughes will play the ball 25 M Out Center Park played back to Sherwin Grimaldi's with the ball he got a a decoy from mat the ball has gone to Lisi it's come back to Grimaldi and Grimaldi might be forced to play the ball he's healed in a two-man tackle h 12 M away from the line swings it left it goes to Sherwin Sherwin looking for Mason turns it back on the inside to Patton and patton is tackled tackled by Harrison Hughes again now to Sheron Shan puts in a kick it's taken by Hodson he'll be forced in goal Hudson forced in goal line drop out again from Scott Satler it's not a particularly good one didn't pick up a lot of distance Mason charging back at them beyond the 30 m line tackle to one 29 M from the line price now cries up to the 20 M line and held there by Butner or is he held he won't go down

running from dummy half looking for an offside player getting it to halfway look at the fans they're cheering they're trying to ride their team home he played smart there Willie Mason he did Retreat

the dogs they've expired for the Tigers Mason again taken by scandales but he hasn't cleared the Rock and it's a penalty dog well hang on did he try and get to his foot here Willie Mason and did the tackle player have time to get away [Applause] well hard to argue John scandalis did hold on for a long time they might have been a lot of tight calls in this game I'll tell you what very few of them have gone have gone the tiger way and I think that will probably be the main talking point in the aftermath of tonight the tight calls ball went the other way asasi just inside the 40 m line as Cory Hughes sweeps it away for willly Mason and again he takes them on and again they meet him and greet him and put him away M and pton Mason plays the ball rather slowly then it's a way to anasta he runs over to Tonga Tonga tries to slide through a gap but he can't get through there's been some brilliant defense down there again the Tacko is Prince it's gone away to Ryan and it goes to Sherwin Sheran steps off his right foot takes it to ground 7 m out from the line fifth tackle is with us they come back to anasta and the kick from anasta is taken by Hodson and he almost submitted in the tackle cbury placing a hand on him that constitutes a tackle they should have left him on the ground though 2 and A2 minutes to go the distance they got to go the 100 me to keep this season alive in 2004 scandalis W who played that ball fit Henry it's Henry trying to prize them open 30 m away 38 M away now with M tackled by o to the right they go for Prince again his kick heading down towards Hil mazri 10 points in the game tonight Mel mazri taken down beautifully by S great tackle Scott set up the Tigers will get one more use of the football they have to make sure that they keep the dogs down this end far enough that they get the ball in some kind of field position asasi big body collision there with Shane alord 40 m line counter is end of the ground Cory Hughes Goes Down The Blind Side Tonga is taken by Prince who's been defending on that right side and he's been very valuable in that department Ryan getting it away now for Steven Price and Price's tackle 40 m out from the Tigers line play back to Cory Hughes off it goes to Bren Shan he gets in a kick it's not going to find tou Hodson comes away with it outside the 20 throws a long pass out there it goes to Gia H it goes to
