Parramatta Eels v Wests Tigers | Round 21, 2000 | Classic Match Highlights | NRL

Sears Kane mcginness Hill and caror geis and field that's the backline for the West tigers and then it's Smith Crouch O'Neal scandalis Center Villa Santi Gillette Galia louder and Doyle on the bench coached by Wayne Pierce Hodson at the back for param Richards lion VII shovi Kelly and Pena and then the forwards a wagon the hind Mar Brothers Wesley Irvine kalis all right the referee is Steven Clark he blows time on it is the West Tigers running from right to left and I remember that Matt SE has had some celebrating to do on that day and paramat are already bumbling their way through the first tackle of the day they got out of it Galia in 16 getting his first touch as Hill provides the ball for Kane Kane down the right side heill supports him and they take it to the 30 m line field wants it quickly he's with it now 25 out loses his footing off the feet and they've got the ball back the West Tigers now they have it with param and play on away they go it's h m still going he's going to make it the crowd love it the number 11 Nathan hear well there was a flurry whether Terry Hill had got the ball back or not arms and legs went everywhere he wants to have a look at it on the video this is very interesting because you did call play on immediately Steven Clark came off the foot now is there a knock on there from David Penner as Hein Marsh picks up the football and takes off Bach one Des sparing dive Galer is the only Chaser the other the other thing Peter I know notice you you'll find that a you'll find that the other parameter player actually forms a Twan a Twan situation in the tackle that even could come into the equation see this the balain player gets the ball back there's two in the tackle the ball's been taken by Nathan I don't think there's any doubt that David Penner has his hands on the ball here at some stage then he hasn't here's the M ASO he's got his hands on the ball now the Bal main player has and then there's two men in the tackle cuz Pen's got his hands on the the West Tigers player I mean there's about 66 results you can get out of this well look I don't know I'm I'm I'm sitting on the fence on this one I can't make my mind up I wouldn't be surprised either way but G has going exactly right as you have so a scrum will restart when we come back it is nil all param and West Tigers after nine playing it on the 10 m line Casto gets it away for Nathan kis kis away for David Penner coming in from the back and then taken in a two-man tackle losing the ball wasn't stolen there's a fight on here for parameter to get it over the line referee said play on and he's short of the line six more tackles and here's a little play that'll work for Nathan Taylor Nathan Taylor gets the first points of the game well you said it was coming it's just a matter of how long it's taken 22 minutes param have done well they got a kick into the in goal area that kept the pressure on David penet he had the ball Stripped by Tyron Smith and it was picked up by Nathan Hein Marsh he battled his way almost over the line they forced him back then just a nice little inter play here between the dummy half and the TriCore David Wesley you can see that the splitting of the West Tigers defense here Casto put the ball onto the chest of the TriCore it's Nathan kyus I'm sorry not Wesley day in the Olympic city as Hudson kicks it off he's nailed it and nailed it perfectly 6 nothing param Milbourne three in front of them penri four in front of him probably the team nearest to them will be the Sharks on 22 Phil doesn't know that he really wanted to go for it let's have a look at his length I think it's coming yes it's there he had a couple of met to spare Gus it wouldn't have wanted to be 42 M but a good goal by the young fellow look at this up in the air it goes it comes down it comes down not a breath of Breeze yeah got there I saw a report in one of the newspapers might have even been F G's column assessing the the buys of the year a young fullback from caram Brett hodon has got to be high on the list as well he's having a marvelous season Gary lson up ended backs slam coming to the final 10 minutes of the first half penalty against the Tigers again 10 m it's it it looks good doesn't it yeah it looks very good side is the scoreboard 10 n parameter Andrew Stuart Kelly again going down the short side the ball bouncing around and it's back with param and it's touched in Flight says Clark it's play on six more tackles it's dick dimmick pulled down and a penalty penalty he indicator the player was held off the ball not in possession and param will take another kick and goal you would think I think he pointed to Tyrant Smith right well it wasn't Smith was actually the number 14 Michael Gillette 33 out 2 one in and on its way and it's holding its line it's there the flags are up the Peter Sterling Hill crowd they like it line tiger end of the park back now for hodon and then for Nathan Kayla stands in a feeble tackle back for Daniel Irvine back from the blood bin and the ball is loose off his hands and it's a penalty penalty again well I'll take another kick for goal here 34 out kicking beautifully here he is kicking towards the Peter Sterling Hill end of the ground and that brings his tally undone for the day into parameter's area they come away to jalis and then for field and field for Terry Hill and the parameter players line them up one onone the Sears take the final T fifth there's a blue one it's Nathan heinar and Matt SE well whatever started this it is still silly play from Nathan Hein Marsh at the last tackle it would appear as though he is going to be penalized number 11 time Matt seers has been involved in an altercation like this either this year when in possession of the football thatch was it Ricky Stewart against the dog T player fighting over the ball and then he SW a punch roller BL was on the ground so therefore uh nothing serious the the penalty over there thanks Phil okay exact as he reports exactly as I said that's crazy stuff he let's cut the rubish out right because if you're going to if you're going to do that sort of stuff we want to C players on the field we don't want to do anything stupid right now cool it yeah so in that instance you got to be able to submerge your ego you've got to be able to to be big enough just to say all right got he got me on the way out of the tackle it's the fifth with the 12 points in front did get hit but you leave that to the touch judge to come and you don't take it into your own hands it might just be heavy tackle on scand daras and Santa says what about that let's go to the uh the man don't know silly stuff we're going to put it on report or right you got him up above the horizontal lifted his legs up or right cuz there was two of us in there I don't know who was more at fault than the other so we're going to put these both on report all right on report silly Nathan heinar in a turbulent period of the game hello let's go back to him let's have a listen to Steven I ter yeah you can apologize for him let me talk to him Terry mate you just got two penalties in a row mate don't start that sort of that's silly that is absolutely silly he just got two pen R don't tell me what I should be doing all right okay all [Applause] right gandal been strong for the Tigers Tyrant Smith second man play Gillette he throw Gillette he over I think it's a black and gold try did he get it down that's the question they've gone for the referee upstairs looking to keep the ball alive putting pressure on Brett Hodson doing his best to stop this try he hasn't been able to do so the point of the ball finds the ground and the Tigers have got a Lifeline you have been praising the Paramount of Defense but up until this point in time I don't think the Tigers have asked them too many questions as we'll get the green light here I believe for the first time in the 12 minutes since halftime Bain show or the West tiger showed a little bit of structure nice decoy run here gets gillin off his favorite left wood step he's able to spin now Hodson tries Brantly to keep him up but gillette's Power gets him across the line from the Cronin side of the ground it's coming around it's going to make it flags are up six points the difference now Mr VOS 126 paramet 55 gone second there's a chance down there's a good chance on they're over again same player Michael jillette 14 all in the other round played earlier in the year and we're having trouble breaking them again it could be 12 all in just a moment Brett Hudson trying to get a kick away it had been a poor set of six Off Their Own Line param and the West Tigers they had really muscled up they could they could feel the tide turning they came through charge a kick down charge down is not a knock on so Michael Jette had every right to race here on that ball in fact it comes off his knee anyway and all of a sudden since the halftime break it has been all the Tigers I still go back to the Nathan Hein Marsh penalty that was a real turning point in this game 18 me Joel K there it goes it is perfect right on line we are deadlocked again they Keen to keep him on board as Dian LGE and Kelly has got players both sides of him knocked on by Joel Kane six more Advantage Nathan Heim M he's lost the ball well that is is absolutely marvelous from Matt SE he's a much smaller man than Nathan Hein Marshall a little bit of luck for param and H Mar I think he did the right thing he just tried to run over the top of the fullback Matty Sears put his body on the line the Collision forced the ball out that is a big play and well received by his teammates now they go there p goes to the air but they Winger over there oh Richards had the fly Richards was off the ground caror he couldn't get up perfectly executed between half and Winger he just couldn't get the handle on the ball he goes up he had it off his shoulder and he had his brother on his outside got to run it to the right right that is where they are weak the Tigers dick has done that but they've gone for the drop goal Casto it's wide it is offline as castco greb fre six G he was the first for the shootout I was just about to say he was the first one to Blink the Craig f is setting for the F goal now well there he is you be the judge no he's gone straight through flick passes they keep it going they're down a meter out up and again they're down se he grab a kicks it came off a paramet player there's a chance here oh it's another line drop out Craig field the cater of All Eyes using a play that takes them further down the center there's a runner he over Tyron Smith Tyron typhoon Tyron typhoon has scored the Tigers of hital 16-2 and showing all of the spirit that comes together from both western suburbs and bmine great work here from Michael Gillette beautiful step and then popped up the pass to to Smith not an easy take for the back rower but they've kept their nerve beautifully they've come down this end of the field kept the pressure on and they put all their eggs in one basket and it's a pretty full basket at the moment the very worst you would imagine a draw Joe Kane his easiest kick of the day it is there 18 to 12 the Tigers lead the yeld and they survive for now and then down by 12 at the break how do you think they F Well Raymond I I go back to what I said earlier I think param played the West Tigers back into this Clash they were gone here's Hodson with a kick over the top he's got it back beautiful reather not tackled flick passes hopes for one of his buddies he finds one David Penner Penner kicks it down the ground and Joel Kane is there not tackle loses the ball he's got it back and it's a knock on it's a chance for param now well it was actually actually knocked out by a param player Center hangs on as long as he can then it's David Penner and Tyron Smith comes up gets it away Wesley on di with it now dick inside the 20 M line angling across picking up Daniel wagon wagon goes straight and hard gets an offload for lion lion gets it away parameter's got the ball they've got the ball down no no they haven't he's help up in goal but they'll get the ball back oh you don't want this game to end just what else can it bring us lion again backs himself gets the ball out the back it's a juggling act from three players two tigers one e who's got it w is's very confident sent says no you're kidding the referee says Darren Center on with you but we'll give param another shot for the Blind Side for VII VII another attempt at the line and referee Steven Clark wants to look at the video before making judgment on David VII's triy well David VII again is claiming it I've got my doubts my thoughts are it's a try well Steven Clark is along the lines of David VII unfortunately for the E the kick is going to be taken from a couple of meters in so they're not out of this yet but Young Young Center the young kiwi Center is confident that he's given his team a chance of a point one thing about it if it goes back to referee's call it'll be a try because Steven Clark could be heard to say my thoughts are that it's a try let's have a look at this one and there it goes it's on the ground it's a try for mine David VII he thought he got it down about 5 minutes ago the referee said no this time the referee is prepared to say yes if the video referee says that well suddenly shovsky got the ball for the conversion I'm trying to work that out it's a try the green light is there The Crowd Goes Up it is 1816 with a kick to come for a draw it's on its way it's coming it's coming it's coming no it's shot it is shorts chotski took on the responsibility the Tigers have won it they came here hoping to survive and that they have done
