Parramatta Eels v Wests Tigers | Round 21, 2000 | Full Match Replay | NRL Throwback

[Applause] they played a 14 all draw when they clashed this year on March 26 many people think that it'll be just that close again West Tigers first year of their joint vship and Matt Sears plays his 150th first grade game today Paramount reel out to be greeted by a big crowd and I'm told Crowds Are 40 deep at the gate still trying to get in plenty of room when they do get in I suppose but certainly the turn styles are being kept busy let's have a look at them now Sears Kane mcginness Hill and Carlo 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 paramet Richards ran VII shivoki Kelly and Penna and then the forwards are wagon the hind Marsh Brothers Wesley Irvine kalis and then on the bench Casto kalis dimi Larson and Coach by Brian Smith that's Jason kalus on the bench Andrew on the sideline beautiful day oh just the perfect wins day as you mentioned Ray I'm hoping today's game is as dramatic as when they last Clash back in round eight on that day it was the classic example of two entirely different halves the made all the running in the first 40 minutes players like Daniel wagon bred Hodson punching holes in the defense the hills in fact got a way to lead this match by 14 points to nil before the Tigers Resurgence it was led by Terry Hill timely his return then today he'll certainly test out the young Paramount centers and once the Tigers got on a roll with the home crowd fans behind them they got a sniff of uh pulling this match back it was a penalty right on full time and a goal to Joel Kane setting up the 14 all draw 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 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 second Rowan Hein Marsh and this is what happened from the kickoff Hudson and then the captain Nathan kalis and almost egg right over there es the param they' used up four tackles and now another loose ball they still haven't got outside the 20 now they have Nathan High Marsh gets a pass away it goes to ground so what an awful start by the blue and goal well that's a shocking start isn't it it could have been worse I suppose Nathan kalis did very well to catch the football as he was sliding Nathan High Mar trying to get away well a miracle ball there not needed the Tigers scrum win 35 M out straight on the attack George Alis is feeding the scrum and Craig field is out in the centers with Terry Hill taking the first receiver job so Hill it is that brings it into the center of the park where field comes into the game at acting half and now Jo jalis who fed the scrum playing in number six put away by the opposite number villanti 19 out from the line an awful play the ball from him now John scand daras takes it to the 10 m line tigers with Center finding field short ball across for the 11 that's Mark O'Neal they're five out on five tackles it's Craig looking to peper them puts a kick in parameter cleaning up line drop out talk about pressure in the opening exchanges for param he's made up for his mistake Nathan H Marsh on the far side giving possession to the tigers by cleaning up this astute little kick from Craig field did well as David Penner gets a drop out to the 40 m line field find Scan daras sun coming down right into the eyes of West tigers in that first half during this first half Villa San he will play 29 out from the paramal line Kelly appealing to the touch judges Tyrant Smith runs a Blindside play 20 M line Underneath Him janal looking to run round and get it back from scan daras and scand daras already has taken it up three [Applause] times the center now comes back and cuts out Tyron Smith finds O'Neal and O'Neal held out there by lion wearing number three for paramet the Young Center Long ball away for jalis and then Craig field had to catch him pass parameter come up out of the line it's a broken line SE put a kick in the ball comes down to paramas Vicki and he's immediately put away by Terry [Applause] Hill [Applause] zosi trying to find some safer pasture vley comes to [Applause] [Music] them he's put away as they again use a Blindside play with Daniel Irvine did well the boy Brett Hodson who was with the magp before coming to parameter now parameter start to get a bit of a roll going K in mind that Jim dimmick is on the bench watching the opening exchanges again as tenner gets a kick in under pressure with a good kick SE game 150 in the top grade of course playing the major part of that with the the North Sydney bear and I don't think it's any surpris that David pener has been called back into the number seven shirt of course he missed many weeks with the neck injury came back played a little bit of 58 and Off the Bench he's in for PJ Marsh this afternoon I think that that is his best position and best for the team as the Tigers forced back inside their 30 Mark O'Neal takes it just outside sun shining down brilliantly on a paramet pitch that's a little bit Barren between the 40 m lines fifth tackle now for the West Tigers Darren Senter gets a kick in from dumy half it's a good looking kick it's done a right hand turn but the Winger shoski cleans it up might have even been a 4020 I'm not absolutely sure yes it was keeping in mind that Clinton Shoki had no idea where it was coming from so he had no alternative you certainly didn't have time for a committee meeting lion plays the ball now and then Hodson comes away from Dy half and that's a good run 15 M 35 out from his own line and young Li makes his Debo this afternoon just an 18 year old country boy back to Brian Smith on the Footy Show this morning they said they've struggled to keep him back he's been playing that well had to bite the bullet and put him up for this important game as Nathan kalis nilly gets his arm three last tackle against the home team Irvine showing that he can kick from dummy half as well it's a fine attribute it's a great time saer and very hard to Mark him any kicker that can kick out of dummy High probably one of the great advantages back in his day that Benny Elias had and here's a penalty going to the West Tigers Phil G with us in commentary today they inside the 10 m there for param and I think that's the key for both these sides today both teams have struggled attack ing in the last few weeks with key players out defensively they both can be very strong on their day so the team that gets on the front foot in defense will be the one that will probably end up Victors param just a little anxious on that occasion a lot of bustling to go on in this game having said that Gus is the Tigers come forward that would be a major concern for Wayne Pierce in the last four matches his side has considered an average close to 40 points a game big turnaround needed this afternoon as scand daras gets Another Touch heavily involved the front r halfway line set up a short side play for Craig field Ryan Smith head coach here at parameter Tyron Smith is 35 out from the line play on the Cronin stand side of the brers field grubers a kick in Carlo is after it so is Hodson hodson's first there for the yields beats one then comes out towards caror and eventually they get even further down the ground great run by lion hson started it then the kid finished it lion comes from weall cutton country formerly up in group four every time they played away it took them two days to get home Daniel wagon finding David Penner gets it back for Nathan kis kis away then for David Wesley and he's taken by Justin do 40 m line as you can see West Tiger's end of the ground is Penner punches it down into the Ino car work to do and gets it back that's good effort tackled eventually by Ian heinar a teric move put on there by carw just a little bit of a shimmy in the end goal he could have been pinned and forced a line drop out wrong foot of his paramet opponent dived out got his team back in Galia in 16 getting his first touch as Hill provides the ball for Kane Kane down the right side Hill 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 tiger now they have with param and PlayOn away they go it's high still going he's going to make it the crowd love it the number 11 Nathan High Mar 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 and then all of a sudden like a thief in the night Nathan took off this is very interesting because he 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 beach one Des sparing dive Galer is the only Chaser the other the other thing Peter I 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 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 he here the M 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 I think you'll find the right one we'll be coming back here for a scrum I believe Nathan Hein Marsh is only just recovered from this long long run well this is going to be very interesting as I said because Steven Clark he immediately called play on now that's he obviously realized that there was really going on where the football was picked up by Nathan Hy Marsh and obviously if we do come 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 done it exactly right as you have so a scrum will restart when we come back it is nil all param and West Tigers after [Applause] nine well the knock ones go back for this [Applause] [Music] scrum Paramount crowd not liking it get your hands out the it is Zip Zip here still even though Nathan heinar had celebrated along with the yels and predominantly eels crowd now the tigers with Terry Hill grimacing grimacing as he takes the ball towards the defense he's back today after quite a lengthy timeout with injury Gia playing it down on the 20 M line opposition end of the Park field scandalis has been good for Coach Wayne Pierce there they are 15 out Tyron Smith gallops across the back of the rck over towards the short side where Terry Hill trips over his legs then Geor Gales now field then Galia going nowhere got a good quick fight play the ball on though and field puts a little kick in a chance here no it's been forced by the eels eventually Clinton shoty it was Oh What A start I was up at the West Tigers Broncos game last week and Craig field kicked the ball into the legs of the opposition about five or six times he had a good little grubber kick to start the game this time he was in danger of doing the same decided to put a short one over the top he's obviously practiced it this week nearly got a great result but they still get a line drop out another chance to come back in very good crowd in here at paramet stadium [Applause] param go through another line drop out and the West Tigers Bumble away The Possession back to them but it's been knocked on Justin Doyle made the mistake the scrum to go down just outside the 40 it's a bad mistake there for the Tigers great opportunity to come in on the attack but I still think it's defense that's going to win this game parameter players chased down on that kick hard put a lot of pressure on Tigers came up with a mistake VII playing in the centers today haven't there been some blues made by both sides particularly param sholi now and Brian Smith has G to The Interchange bench here's Gary lasson taking the ball forward Jason kalis in 15ers out there he's the younger brother of Nathan Ben Casto is going to halfback he's got the football now Casto then dummy before trying to step away from Eline to Nathan hear again been the longest try I guess Nathan's ever run to score and then Deni the kick and the bat back but the touch judge has got the flag up nil all after 12 param for the benefit of our overseas audiences and our Interstate audiences is uh adjoining the areas of uh former b m and formerly Western suburb so it's very much a local Derby yeah it's a great feel with this game isn't it big crowd here at Paris Stadium on a Sunday afternoon the sun is shining two teams desperate for two competition points as the latter tells bit of feeling between the teams with the very fact that they are neighbors us for good 80 minutes the match of course further marketed or inflamed by Dennis Fitzgerald the chief executive of param reminding b m that they made a mistake when they merged with western suburbs cuz Fitzgerald has offered the Olive Branch to belm trying to get them to link up with param when they went the other way he hasn't stopped reminding them so that has acted as a a marketing device for today hson is tackled 32 away from his own line Shoki at acting half to use Vicki and Vicki has a habit of coming to the defensive line and then propping and so doing makes himself a fairly easy target fairly vulnerable the two for param is Pat Richards he plays at Five away from halfway it's Gary lson Jim dii waiting to come on now it is Young kis Jason fifth tackle 40 m line behind them opposition in and Pinner splits the fullback and Winger Joel k will get it back oh did he get it back no he has run into a Paramount blue and gold sandwich yeah again another great defensive play by param a kick that just rolled a little too far for Joel Kane but not far enough to get it dead and watch this for a hit 1 2 3 4 and five parameter players here coming in know that every inch in this game is important big difference there between a West Tigers play the ball and now a line drop out back to the home team this will be the first line Dropout in the game for the West Tigers Andrew sideline just a little sidelight to this match we mentioned Jason kis now out there it's a bit like a Paramount Mara School reunion you've got Jamie lion Daniel Irvine Nathan and Jason kis and even Steven Crouch they're all old marus boys this is Jason with it now kis 31 m out from the line tackle one is gone Penner dummies and backs his way reverses back into the defense Irvine to the 20 they go with Daniel wagon slam down higher underneath and O'Neal over the top and then it's away from Penner away for Kelly Kelly gets it on it's out with Richards and Richards gets the ball back on the inside for lion and lion is able to get it away for Richards to pick it up off the ground but referee Clark has h a knock on good buling there by the Tigers coach Wayne Pierce has made a fairly significant change to his defensive lineup today last week mcginness and field were defending on the right for the Tigers and the Broncos really carved them up today both these players are over on the left marking young line they did a good job on him here there forced an error but Wayne Pierce obviously keeping his two smaller men away from the bigger param players looking to show them a different line up in defense dimick is on now jumper number 16 for param O'Neal takes it ahead unloading Jerry Hill he couldn't go anywhere feeds it back immediately for Doyle and Doyle isn't able to improve either still inside the 30 of Center comes away puts the head down borrows into the mid Rift of Lon now field gets a kick away down the short side on the Michael Cronin side of the ground and now it's with Hodson who brings it back to the 20 and then steps off his left foot in beating one sees a gap tries to go through it but Kevin mcin shuts him down been impressed with both teams kicking game so far right they prar a couple of good ones into the in goal area Darren cender and Craig field sharing the kicking some pretty good results as Gary lson takes it towards the [Applause] 40 second tackle for param demi gets his first touch tackle count almost equal 5553 so there's nothing there par really haven't had the opportunity though that the Tigers have had to test them down in that red zone P with a little kick Kelly's after it the bounce is good though for H Craig field to give for John Carlo Carlo buffeted by The Tackle there of Ian Hein ganti a hand off for field knocked down by wagon it'll come back for the scrum 25 M away from the West Tigers line 17 and a half gone field tried to get it away wagon had half a chance I was looking forward to the return of Terry Hill today and he has had an impact in this game of course he was hurt during New South Wales state of oan campaign just his presence on the field for his fellow players is a big plus for the Tigers he has been heavily involved also in fact that's Matt SE in the dummy and nly getting through taken eventually by Shoki touch line three me away to he [Applause] right had a fairly unfortunate entry as a joint venture there's the unavailablesp of those have been unavailable for a long time Terry Hill came back today but Kraken for instance there's a question whether he'll play ever again Tyron Smith meantime 22 out from the line Cent for field and field to the second man play for georgalis to dummy and takes play 18 away from the line on the opposite side of the ground they go back on the right now again for Craig field he puts the kick high this time Carlo's coming in but Hudson goes up and there was no [Applause] contest tremendous atmosphere here good crowd in the arm wrestle continued 14 all at the end of 80 minutes in Round in the earlier round now they've been out there for 19 minutes and we still can't divide them Jim dim in trouble just look like he caugh one in the back thought accidentally Jim from that reaction doesn't think so ball forward taken Low by scandalis coming in over the top St [Music] louder take a break with parameter and the West tigers at nothing nothing 20 minutes [Music] gone Jim dimmi is leaving the field at NE all we welcome stations back from a break that have been in commercial time it's Casto takes the free Ken now struggling to get up and play the ball custo keeps it coming to the right for Nathan kalis we' Nathan and Jason kalis and Ian and Nathan Hein Marsh as Ben Casto goes away from dummy half something's got to crack just how far down the track it'll be that's the question Wesley param building themselves a little chance here four tackles gone Nathan kis put down with the line as you can see about five away right in front of them Casto goes right Hudson had to go high puts a kick in turn Joe came around line drop out that adds up to more pressure and this time it'll be parameter's pleasure to take it back just not quite sure whether the chases on the outside are on no they have they've done well because the pass from dummy half wasn't good to Brett Hodson had to pretty much reach behind him and very good kick away Under Pressure skyline of parameter City CBD off to the back Craig field takes the line drop out Richard goes storming back to them just thinking about this defense again Ray maybe it's not the fifth tackle kick today that's going to get the money maybe something a little unpredictable early in the tackle count might be the one that comes up with a trike R the side former Raider David wesler playing it on the 10- M line Casto gets it away for Nathan kis kers away for David Penner coming in from the back and then taken in a two-man tackle losing the ball was it 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 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 and just a nice little init 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 tricer it's Nathan Caris I'm sorry not Wesley yeah well sometimes the oldfashioned plays really work don't they this one's an Old Chestnut been around for a long long time but close to the line a big man hard to stop back on the inside and that's good injection by kalis I mean he's the one that's got to call that play he's the one that says I can do something for my team here this is the opportunity I've been waiting for Nathan K has called on his dummy half to just pop out give him a chance through the middle of the ru and he's come up with the first four-pointer of the game he's had a good start to this game Nathan kalis and lot of faith put in him by coach Brian Smith he's taken on the captaincy he's a leader at a young age I would imagine he's probably the youngest NRL captain and he is leading by example Brett Hudson a chance to increase the lead from four to six 10 m in from touch the Terrace is heavily accommodated behind him and the grand stand the covered area also over in the Cronin grand stand only a few F wonderful Crow great day in the Olympic city as Hudson kicks it off he's nailed it and nailed it perfectly 6 nothing param leading the West Tigers Andrew yeah the pressure builds and the pressure builds and they finally come up with a four-pointer I'll tell you what just on that steal of the ball I thought it was a good decision for the play on Nathan hindmarsh goes close to the line and then Nathan able to score the try and a point two on Brad Hodson who kicks the goal from wide out in the off seon he got tips from the best Daryl hallan I reckon it's good on both parts Brett Hodson for having the having the guts to go to Daryl Hans say can you give us some tips and good on Daryl for passing it on to an opponent lion carries it back socks down come part of his trademark Paramount 25 out from the own line I'm just looking at what happens if West get beaten today West Tigers it's going to set them an enormously difficult task would go three in front of them Melbourne three in front of them pen four in front of them probably the team nearest to them will be the Sharks on 22 I think that they play the Sharks next week yeah and speaking of the sharks of paramet win today they are the team that get El frogged by Blue and goals if they are successful yes my equation was only if West tigers are beaten but the team that would be the chief sufferer by a Paramount Victory given the other results is the Sharks we've got an interesting decision here Hodson is going to have a kick for goal for 40 m out they originally pointed to the post and then wanted to change their mind Steven Clark had already ordered the touch judges to go behind the uprights and they couldn't change their mind I think they got the lines mistaken I don't think Hodson really wanted to have an opportunity from 40 m out it'll be interesting to see how he approaches this well I think the decision they have made here Phil is that yes we we'll cop two points but if he does Miss we realize he's probably not going to put it dead so we will relinquish possession expect the chase would be very good but eight over Sixpoint lead is that's very advantageous man's needing to score twice he's at 62% br Hudson on the 40 m line 21 in 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 meters 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 so eight nothing they can thank Steven Clark for that we tend to think I just looking at the statistics as to what would happen to the top eight and apparently Steven Clark had told the touches no they're kicking for goal they can't change their mind another bust has been made by the blue and girls and again it's that man kyus Irvine for Wen now what a shame kyus didn't let the pass go on his outside Brent Hudson was on the fly as so too Daniel Irvine straight up the center of the ru plenty of momentum at the moment and a good quick play the ball so dick is back on the park he's held on the 20 M line tiger testing him out tennis kick they're on side they've got the ball back turnover great kick by pen a great catch from shikovski couldn't get to the line the West tigers are absolutely walking at the moment they haven't touched the ball this is their first possession in about 7 minutes and there's some real gaps opening up around the Rocks Hodson was in support there he looks to the heavens thinking I had a chance for a try and the West Tigers badly need to get their share of possession in this last 12 minutes before halftime they're on the ropes at the moment no using blaming God Nathan kale has had the call that was a certain six-pointer for param I didn't realize how how big an opportunity Nathan Kus had fritted away wondering why Sterling stood and his head went down now field now it's Gillette the Tigers counter punch param clean it up now let's have a look what happened I can feel the ground it's Craig field has got cleaned up by Daniel wagon and I don't my first reaction was it wasn't illegal here he is kicking the football now running the ball now wagons just got him with a sensational shoulder charge and param have now got a penalty Down On Their Own Line to releve pressure a little halfback is still down Sick and sorry so Steven Clark has called timeout trainers is saying to Steven we just need a bit of time out here for this engine play we'll take a break there we'll come back to par Stadium it's a great afternoon it's 8 nil I hope Craig's okay I think it will be 29 gone so to our overseas audiences sky sport in the UK we say hello to you [Applause] as we are in a break and of our cable TV audiences in Australia Craig field helped off 8 nothing parameter Craig field assisted off by the Tigers trainers little bit concuss maybe yeah virtually an action replay of what we saw in a game yesterday between the roosters and Orland Adrien lamb had to lead the field he may be out for 2 or 3 weeks Craig field doesn't look as though he's done a lot of damage we'll probably see him back lson talking of Adrien lamb that was also a little bit reminiscent of was of Adrien lamb and Robbie Ross coming together in Milbourne it's a fine line but I couldn't see anything too illegal about it dimick on the halfway I don't think it'll be long before Craig's back in the game really he knows just how important he is to this game and he knows how important important this game is to the aspirations for the year 2000 for the new club well I probably should have mentioned how dangerous it was for the paramet side when they did run the football the Tigers Craig field got the pass away the kick was put towards the parameter line it was only great work from Jamie line which saved his side a try Center straight up the middle and into open space a good run he's out into open space tries to trample the fullback it's a very good effort by Hudson oneon-one big men coming at you J 32 out from the line they use the short side they go to Terry [Applause] Hill wondering how tesa's condition is lasting out as we get close to the first break the big ball is battered down by Carlo battered down to Hudson for param hudome has opened them up beyond the third shovi I saw a report in one of the newspapers might have even been F G's colum assessing the the buys of the year the 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 and dimi rushed up then the rush of blood subsided and they said hang on a moment 30 m right in front will'll bring that kid with a number one up again and again the bench was very very quick and Keen to point to the post Alan Wilson one of the trainers for paramet he raced on pointing straight to the two points Brian SP that they are going to be at a premium this afternoon they start they coming back SL I think the game is going differently to that I think P are really on top at the moment was very even for the first 20 minutes and all of a sudden seven or eight minutes of consecutive possession here's the run by Hodson a four chase by the Tigers and this is not when you know A team's getting tired look at some of these West Tigers players didn't chase on the kick didn't come across to support and now they can't get back their 10 m and Steve Clark is not going to let them off he's penalized them in front again these are bad signs for the West Tigers no kick Chase not getting onside to reset I think I think the Paramount is going better than they think I'd have kicked this out and had another go for a try C field still recovery BOS on the sideline after this kick from BR hson been watching closely the performance of the parameter number one 177 career points as I said he was with the maggies right in front 3 [Music] out it's it it looks good doesn't it yeah it looks very good side is the scoreboard 10 nil parameter Andrew and R can make a great little highlights package on the game of Brett Hudson just have a look at some of the work that he's done in this match in all facets of the play whether it's up in the line or chiming into the backline as a last line of defense for pareta he has been a real thorn in the side of the Tigers today I think we made the point in recent weeks about Brett Hudson that of course he was a former western suburbs Magpie but the joint venture Club they never got a chance at Brett Hodson param had him signed up well before the joint venture formed formed a partnership Jason kalis on the return of the football from inside their own 20 M line they started the afternoon Under Siege parameter they couldn't do anything right all of a sudden they're getting it very very correct Ian Hein center of the ground custo a little dumm way to the left and then he worked on the right Gary Lon lost for a second so did he David pen picking up the threads of a season that has been decimated for him by injury very important period this last s minutes before halftime right the West Tigers up in second place most of the year they've lost their last four they're now outside the eight they're down 10 points to n they need someone to stand up and say can let's show a bit of confidence at the moment they're really on their heels not supporting the ball Runner got some problems Craig field is back on that will help the center sends a one out forward down the right and that again is an indication that a couple of these BLS are looking for halim Mar O'Neal it was that time then clutching at his shoulder as the 15 goes ahead and then as Phil calls in the Indian G Craig field ran round and took it back off Steven Crouch and then the ball high into the air off the boot of Michael Gillette but Hudson is underneath it six away from his own line Viet pulled down by the 14 again that is Gillette Nathan he 10- n third tackle [Applause] gone was from Richards before lson handled and now kalis Jason and they're back on their own 30 m line a little bit of a a little bit of a Welter out of getting it away from there Nathan does the right thing kalus that is hard up the middle Hodson support ge's been impressive K kis couple little half breaks and offload he scored a try real Captain's not so far in his first 35 minutes casto's kick making Joe Kane move about 20 M away to his left before he comes back and they put him down tenner underneath Nathan kis up the top and now Terry Hill give me the ball 33 M out from his own line and Joe Kane about to receive some attention to stay down after being tackled as pass from Darren Center over the sideline and a marvelous season he came into this round as the leading Point scorer in the NRL competition that was his wing Matt seers just couldn't reach the pass round by Center that was the third tackle and half the West tiger side had yet to get back on side to support center went the short side he had no Winger his fullback couldn't make up the ground and they still got their heads down here behind the play this is a great opportunity for param here they hold their heads up Paramount they can put points on before Hal time Stewart Kelly Hudson in from the back held on the 40 m [Music] line Stewart Kelly again going down the short side the ball back 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 dick pulled down and a penalty penalty the indicator the player was held off the ball not in possession and parata will take another kick at goal you would think I think he pointed to Tyrant Smith R well it wasn't Smith was actually the number 14 Michael yes he grabbed it a support player who was going to be a big problem for the Tigers took the gamble to it and unfortunately for him Steve Clark was watching big week in sport for the the nine network of course with Wimbledon starting tomorrow night K Suli is there to host it and of course John Nukem tney trit strawberries and cream fort night of tennis amazing how that trip seems to go to the same people all the time sterer and I mean you you and I are better tennis players than S ever was Hudson nowe out tennis and this plag he's hitting them as straight as you hit your three with right so he's very confident that will make the def of 12 at the halftime break 33 out 21 in and on its way and it's holding its line it's there the flags are up the Peter Sterling Hill Crow they like it it is 12 n the year and we spoke about Nathan kalis look at this for the big man playing Captain today scored a try making inroads around the middle of the field he really is the player that's energizing this Paramount team today good footwork for a big man created opportunities probably could should have got a ball way to Hudson there to score the try but there's offloads in him all the time he should be following this man around the field everywhere he goes Peter Sterling said earlier he's important to the girls today he's giving you the reasons [Applause] why David [Applause] Wesley just to add to that comment he's also very important to New Zealand rugby league having already represented his country at a very tender age and you saw how much they need help during the Anzac test very heavy hit on David Wesley there sees him leave the field with a rib problem as kis again gets involved outside 30 and his front row partner the sidelines Stuart Kelly inside ball not taken Marsh couldn't gather that one in so a late chance for the Tigers they just don't look comfortable pareta when they go across field with their ball playing and this is why I guess they're taking every opportunity to kick the for goal off penalties some other teams may have taken the odds to it and put the ball out I think they're on top they're really still grinding away at this win and at the moment their ball playing doesn't seem comfortable Kelly's got a problem he's off the park on the far side have made the change VII has gone back on will'll keep an eye on Stewart Kelly and the tiger would love nothing better than a converted try before the break Kevin mcginness has had a very quiet game attack wise we haven't seen enough of this player with tremendous flear won just about all of the club Awards last year available at the magp when they closed up shot Tyrant Smith this do getting close to the sideline he's gone Paramount's got him that was that was bad as if it just fell on his plate he knew he was going yeah they needed something more positive than this on the stroke of halim their heads have been down for 10 minutes or so they wanted something to give them a lift before the break and that's not going to be it only 40 seconds left on the clock here know the paramet will just play this out it's a great opportunity while their heads are down to strike it's Richard's tackle back on his own 20 Andrew Voss on the sideline right it'll be no surprise if at halim Wayne Pierce does say to the players look draw strength from we did clash with par in round eight they Trail 10 n at halim in that match it got to 14 n after the break before they mounted the challenge so hopefully as far as the tigers are concerned they can repeat that here's this man kalus [Music] again lson taking David Penna down with him to the defense line and Penna takes the tackle of Smith and scan daras and Penna gets up has a look at them in the eyes indicating that it hurt but he wasn't going to let them know the kick will find the line the siren is sounded the ball is dead that's the end of the first half and a a game that started with more mistakes from the BL and gods than you'd see in a full game of football they've turned it around they've set their compass and they're leading 12 nothing at the halftime break we will take that break with them and invite you back on the Wide World of Sports in just a moment Steven Clark pois to blow time on to start the second 40 minutes talking of Daniel Irvine I just wonder how he would feel reading the papers knowing that the club is Keen to buy the camber Raider Simon Wolford not that he needed uh any inspiration but it would appear after the first 40 minutes that he's gained something from it this is um villanti who's brought down just outside the 30 m line well this game 12 nothing you would be I think fair in saying that they have to be the team that scores next the West Tigers Car 45 away from his own line v s he takes it ahead for the second time on this set and the TCH Camp was restarted again so it's only two against the Tigers oh contr the charge went astray there from Nathan Callis so consecutive sets not quite a complete set the first one but this is Tyron Smith now sing a couple of blue and gold jumpers 10 pinning away to the ground then on from jalis it looked to go forward but field is there 11 is O'Neal O'Neal back for him H Craig field that is and then it's gone to ground and paramet have got the ball and a knock on mine was there at the right time to shut this down from georis the tackle from Lion didn't help geis and then Daniel irine knocking on what's the story on Stuart Kelly Andrew yeah Stuart Kelly remains in the dressing rooms for the start of this second half I spoke to the param doctor Dr Johnson he did say that he was confident that Stewart would return but it's a sprained left Achilles tendon for Stuart Kelly and I I watched him go up the tunnel at half time he was pretty ginger in fact he needed two trainers to assist him now problems for Daniel Irvine as well Kelly's back from the dressing room so that's good news there Dave Wesley also didn't start this second half he's got a bit of a rib problem but likes St Kelly should be back just looking at Kelly closely there still very tender I can assure you it's it's not anywhere near even 70% dimi unloads a short ball for VII and he's SC down just inside his own 30 m line Daniel wagon Jo he's uh been a bit of a journey man hasn't he came to the club as a Winger from St [Music] George then took up that position here then went to the centers now he's gone to the back of the scrum mind you I suppose it's a great string to heav Yo versatility in the modern game and consistency right i' say if you had to look through paramet seies in the 21 rounds as the penalty goes their way again he has probably been their most consistent performer whatever position he's played Jason kalis is the man tackled you can see the Tigers player is trying to get his hand away from underneath the ball Darren Center the ball comes out and Clark penalizes 61 the penalties in favor of param Wayne Pierce won't be happy with oh Jason CIS has fallen into that tackle he's a tall lad dimik gets it inside the 20 gets the pass away and then Casto puts it on the boot cleaned up by [Applause] Gillette V Santi into Nathan Hein Mar and Jim dimmick on the 10 m line his own end of the Park Center who could be accused of putting them under this pressure with that penalty as they move the ball around quickly and scandalis linked up and found Kevin mcginness and in and Away the ball down from Carlo backwards picked up by scand Dar and that's the 30 m line just behind him his own into the ground very much the wrong end of the park for the Tigers if they're going to come back from 12 nothing they've got to be down there Smith and jales combining Jala good hands that's crouched to the halfway a shocking pass cleaned up by Gillette [Applause] with Crouch now off the Inside Edge of the booted bars over that touch line did he not do some time here Crouch the man on camera he did indeed Ray and tigers keeping the football alive unfortunately on the last tackle it went to the wrong man Steven CR who throws the football he received it on the last tack got that kick away the yields Will Come Away with possession and Demi of 58 no Kelly dick fins off one goes between two others picks up Richards with a float [Applause] up the line Tigers end of the park back now for Hodson 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 take another kick for goal here 14 n much better than 12 n the Tigers really are starting to self-destruct with those penalties that is now 71 we're only over just over half this match gone V Santi just having trouble with that left shoulder just have a look and see if there is that's actually the boot that's might be a touch unlucky Daniel Irvine left the field for a couple of minutes he went straight back into the action when he was okay referee ruling that even though it was the foot it was still deliberate hson 20 fre in from The Sunny Side 34 out kicking beautifully here he is kicking towards the Peter Sterling Hill end the ground and that brings his tally undone for the day mat is playing it 11 away from his in line villanti Tigers really have to win away they play the sharks at home the Sharks away the Cowboys away the dogs away the knights and then at home to the storm so it's it's not easy here they are trying to do something about it car running off mcginness and prior to him scandalous D 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 takes the final tack fifth there's a blue off it's Nathan Heim marash and Matt SE well whatever started this it is still silly play from Nathan High 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 match wasn't Ricky sker fting over the ball and then he's to punch roller was on the ground so therefore uh nothing serious to the punch there the penal over there thanks Phil okay exactly as he reports exactly as I said mate that's crazy stuff he let's cut the rubbish out mate cuz 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 stup right now cool it down 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 it 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 scandalis and senta says what about that let's go to the uh the center man don't know silly stuff we're going to put it on report right you got him up above the horizontal lifted his legs up or right because there was two of his in there I don't know who was more at fault than the other so we're going to put you 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 St Terry Terry 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's sort of that's silly that is absolutely silly you just got two penties don't tell me what I should be doing all right okay all [Applause] right T was having his happ's worth of it scandalis now just jump jumped off the the boat of discipline for a moment parameter it might be the crack that the tigers are looking for D losanti Center barging run barging Endeavor ending three from the line Crouch Tyron Smith can he unload Paramount wedging that ball again the midr center a gain they've got to spread it they are field decoys everywhere jalas well tackled out there by wagon that was an important Tackle by Daniel wagon this is the last play Kevin mcginness it went forward did it yes well I think that could almost be the set of six that wins the game for paramedic I think that was just what the Tigers needed a couple of penalties in a roow just fire them up some things to get in their crawl and if they'd have scored in this set of six it might have just been the the springboard to something else that was an important tackle from Daniel wagon there kis Nathan forgetting he's got a brother involved in the game and Andrew JNS haven't got it on their own anymore have they was Nathan Kay leaves the park it's Jim dimmick providing for Daniel wagon and three of them come in to put him away Irvine Casto Wesley running shoulder-to-shoulder with Hodson it was hard to pick who was going to get it crop forward left the field injured in the first half seems okay custo gets a kick down oo Gillette me used it badly not like Michael and he's tackled inside the 30 m line Terry Hill heavy stoping there Australian representative taking some pulling down as George Alice gives it to O'Neal dii and Kelly is that Kelly up in there just got out of the road to to play the board at least he made an Endeavor it is Kelly villanti Tigers move play down into parameter area again field comes into the the game crouches they're looking to unload param hellbent on stopping him from passing this is the last as field puts a kick down over the fullback head the bounce will be important Richards is there with it he'll be trapped good play Tigers will break 12 nothing no changed to Hal time first minute gone paramedic consolidating HS him with the drop out at 12 mil parameter 42 M field sending Villa Santi back three dropouts to two param meta on the wrong side of [Applause] that Scandal been strong for the Tigers Tyrant Miss S A Man play Gillette he throw Gillette he's over I think it's a black and goal try did he get it down that's the question they've gone on for the referee upstairs well Michael jillet his teammates have got no doubt that he got the football down spun out of the tackle it's been a very positive start to this second half from the Tigers 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 we 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 showed or the West Tigers showed a little bit of structure nice decoy run here gets gelin off his favorite left wood step he's able to spin now hod and tries rant to keep him up but gillette's Power gets him across the line nice little second man play Here by T by Tyron Smith and a good step and dummy by Gillette that's his trademark normally a 5'8 today having to play on the wing because of injury Bobs up on the opposite side of the field it's a type of player who does make a couple of line breaks during a game this do his confidence a lot of good gets that ball down for a very important West Tigers try Michael Gillette the TR score very proficient did well for BM Pride of the merger now from nine in from touch it is Joel Kane leading TR scorer in the competition or Point scorer I should say has bagged a lot of tries I think he's well up into double figures leading Point score there just in front of Matt roggers nine in from tou and 21 out from the crownin side of the ground it's coming around it's going to make it fler up six points the difference now Mr Vos and Ray Tyron Smith I got to tell you I had a chat with Wayne Pierce before the game as we look back at some of the highlights from this match so far at Tyron Smith but Wayne Pierce before the game said here's the player that can turn it for us today Tyron Smith he actually was man of the match when these sides Clash back in round eight and he's certainly instrumental in that try the tiger back in it I got to tell you this crowd's becoming part of this match Ray and it's not just the paramet advantage here there's plenty of tiger supporters yeah isn't it a great atmosphere Andrew I was reminded of Sunday afternoon football down at konala last Sunday and and they've replicated it here today well I don't want to be cruel but we'll never get it for a Warriors match down here or a Cowboys game Scandal is being patched up I'll stay out of the politics for the time being it's Terry Hill taken by Vi Phil golden Peter Sterling analyzing this game for you crouch it's a little facial from wagon over the top of a two-man tackle Underneath Him now field they'll be boyed by the try O'Neal think about those players on available haven't they got some the in the for from Kraken Walker Simson there's the list Jason L and the youngster R Luc donnal he's been a tremendous f for them this year but they have got some strike power not involved in this match lion masthan hinm look at him coming in he's been the center of a couple of controversies and they came right in after him there the Tigers Lon 126 parameter 55 gone second there's a chge 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 bred Hudson trying to get a kick away it had been a poor set of six Off Their Own Line paramet and the West Tigers they had really muscled up they could they could feel the tie turning they came through charged a kick down charged down is not a knock on so Michael jet had every right to race her 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 and I think that the parameter RS have brought this on themselves the West Tigers were out on their feet 10 minutes before half time but in that stands the parameter have taken four shots at goal I know they kicked three but there was tremendous opportunity to score some points and put this game Beyond doubt continued to kick for goal trying to graft out a win and then it only takes a little bit of a mistake like that and suddenly we got ourselves back in a ball game in the meantime the captain Darren Senter has called his troops around him come on this must not be the end this is also Ray where we you know we start to talk about experience like the word I heard most about the paramet team coming into this match was their inexperience look at the West Tigers Matt Sears Terry Hill Steve George dles Craig field Darren Senter they are all season performers and they are the likes that can lead the rest of the team to a victory in this next half hour 15 in from touch it's 18 me out Joel K there it goes it is perfect right online we are deadlocked again 1212 and K converts gillette's try they've done it back to back inside a couple of minutes the respective chance from both crowds they go up param they could be walking the tight rope not the not the tigers called it the day of survival most of us came here thinking they were talking about the West Tigers maybe we're talking about param what do you think coach to the halfway they [Music] [Applause] come field [Applause] clearing Hudson brings the pig skin back where'd he go there he goes somebody stoping Viet pushing away from a couple of snatches eventually it's left to the number seven to make the tackle those West players should have a bit of a look at themselves on replay after that kis taken down by Tyron Smith pH almost called him typhoon earlier we might leave him with that one you know they're Keen to keep him on board Dian LGE and Kelly has got players both sides of him knocked on by Joel Kane six more Advantage Nathan Heim Mar he's lost the ball well that is absolutely marvelous from Matt SE he's a much smaller man than Nathan Hein Marshall a little bit of luck for param and hmsh 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 it's a nice get square for the little set two they had earlier in the game too Patty Sears would have looked up and seen he Mar careering towards him and said well this one's for you he's got the ball back for his team the Tigers got a brace up now no mistake football coming out of their own r Red Zone penalty 73 against them big crowd in here Dennis Fitzgerald the CEO and the paramedic club would be absolutely thrilled Big Shot there from n sorry R you're right 2,162 Darren center it's a sensational crowd isn't it I can see you smiling and there's plenty smiling with you young Andrew got it right in I'm sure Sears kicks down over the head of Hudson out his own line he hasn't been their best today he's been one or two yeah in the BL at the other end Matt SE has just had an inspired couple of minutes a try saer on Nathan Hein Marsh that time he got the football on the last tackle centered put some pressure on him and he got a tremendous tour pday kick picked up 60 M so he's Rising with the asion busted iron all this season now they've been playing for 101 minutes and the scoreboard would show 2626 Lon veteran a shall not weary them the birth certificate M now he going to go over or is it or is it oh that's work to be done for the Tigers Pera will get the ball back it looked 100 one in running for David Pen's kick they're beautifully waited by David Penner this isn't the first time that param been able to force this type of line drop out on the Tigers and Joel Kane had no chance there a big Chase from the eels 17 minutes to go on the clock we came here today expecting a tough tussle it's 12 ball I don't think that surprises anyone the team that is best prepared mentally for this last 15minute stands is going to come away with the win and now on the flow of the game it hasn't looked like we'll get to this stage regardless of what got us here now it's who's best prepared for the next 17 minutes Craig field his drop kick 46 M Gary Lon rolls it up to them again gets it to 31 1212 [Applause] are we at field goal time yet I hope not RI I don't think either team should be looking for that at this stage Jason Kay they're 15 out they're in a beautiful position Casto uses pimmer right side the way to go they've got numbers they've gone the wrong way Kelly FL ball across the vi Ley a flick pass and then shivoki back for Kelly and Kelly is hit right side is still a chance through the hands now they go there Penner goes to the air but the 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 a near Miss I think we're going to see a few of those before the end oh no oh yes oh no what what a [Music] mistake what a mistake for the [Music] Tigers that there might well be the rock upon which they per from Young Villa [Applause] Santi inside the 30 m p with the advantages Kell drifting now straighten lovely Tackle by C it wasn't completed so Geor jalz completes it and now shovi Jim dimi straight into the attack from Brian Smith as they get inside the 24 plays left custo taken by vand he doesn't want any points scored on this set of Six Villa Sandy he made the mistake now Hudson for wagon Hudson again away for Nathan kalis gets it back for Hudson Hudson stays alive runs to the right dummies to Wagon gets it away in the tackle now Heim Marsh Ian backing over the line TIG is pulling him back now the last dimi grab a kick they'll get another line drop out Terry Hill has forced it in goal this is semifinal stuff it's great stuff isn't it it's a war of nerves then Heim Mar backing his way to the line har again deciding to kick the football when they had a chance to run it they are getting some numbers out wide but at the moment prepared to just keep the pressure on Terry Hill taking no chances tiger looking for a [Applause] breather pulling up to a great 15 minutes normally with about 14 to go on a Sunday afternoon you're looking to beat the traffic there's little stream of people leaving but not today not today and woman and child they're all here waiting fighting it out with their respective team played by VII and dimic sends Jason kalis inside the 20 M line they must be thinking about the drop goal Hudson away from Tyron Smith and then pulled down eventually by Galia in 16 dick for kalis and he had his brother on his outside got to run it to the right right that is where they are the taret dick has done that but they've gone for the drop goal Casto it's wide it is offline as Casto grab fre Six Gun he was the first for the shootout I was just about to say he was the first one to Blink and Jim dimick as Peter Sterling said came on to the field but they used him exclusively as dummy half I think if param are going to be more dangerous in attack he's got to get himself at first or second receiver parameter have missed their chance did they go to early is that an indication to the Tigers only time will tell Jerry Hill plays it on the halfway Steve Crouch gets it into enemy territory by a meter Galia scandalis fifth tackle 40 m line parameters in now field gets it down in behind Clinton chowski will it stop will it stop ah Clinton Tak it Clinton's taking it no he's pointing to the 20 no now he's retracing Clark's gone back under the upright it's a line drop out it's a big change of mind he waited for the touch judge he was heading for the 20 Steven Clark I'm talking about yeah well thank God the touch jge was on his game Clinton shoski was on was had two minds there was trying to do the old Lego with the dead ball line and touch it and then was saying maybe it'll go dead on its own I won't have to he got caught in between the two and thank God for the linesman he helped his referee out we ended up with the right result Here Come the Tigers banti chipovsky isn't it any of the above any of the above don't go any further down there you're bound to make a [Applause] mistake louder Villa Santi and louder where is the Grand Prix tonight [Applause] GE Jas might even get a steer as well Center welcome to BR heack Wonder KRA f is setting for the FI 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 she is the Graber kicks it came off a parameter player there's a chance here oh it's another line Dropout it'll be another line Dropout shivoki saves the day I'll say it don't you come at it it's a sign of a great game when the commentary Team all stand to their feet looking to see the result in the corner a Ricochet ball off legs and knees Clinton gets back very quickly to get that one and knock it dead Here Come the Tigers again what about the possible match Sav from Bret Hodson on C fi one on one 2 m out his fielded G not as big a drop kick this one it ends for Villa Santi 28 M out from the line will they be the next to shoot they're bound to shoot on this set Terry Hill on two Craig field the signature of All Eyes using a play that takes them further down the center there's a runner he's over Tyron Smith Tyron tyon Tyrant tyone has scored the Tigers have hit the lead 16 to 12 and showing all of the spirit that comes together from both western suburbs and Bain 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 I said earlier this is his best position Michael Gillette and it's a poor read by the hles if you go back match after match after match at some time of the game Gillette will call field around him and go himself that's a very poor read by the eels Michael Gillette he's pet play you've got to know these things about individuals he gets Tyron Smith away Wayne Pierce couldn't have been more right he was the one that's finally broken the back for param and Michael Gillette finally getting a chance at second receiver has broken the game open for the Tigers what a second half for him two tries and lays on another Andre Vos tell us Wayne Pierce said he was the man that could get them home not necessarily scoring the try but that's exactly what he's done You' think that this Qui kick would see the Tigers at least not get beaten in this game the very worst you would imagine a draw Joe Kane his easiest kick of the day it is there 18- 12 the Tigers lead the yields and they survive for [Music] now a cliffhanger shallow restart by param it's gone 10 m and then beautifully taken by Kevin mcginness everybody went sailing through the air and little Kevin was waiting jales tries to generate something down the left side yeah wonder if the work here by the little Center to what that ball out of the air R I know it's easy in retrospect but I I wasn't happy when Casto went for the field goal 12 out if you're six in front or 12 in front yes but not to just put yourself one in front I think they should have shown more patience of course now if the Tigers can get the one point of they win the game and you would imagine that field would be setting for exactly that well five tackles are gone you'd think he's too far out wouldn't you no he's going for it he's got it away it's got the height and the length and the refere Steven Clark says wide must have been close so 20 M restart for parameter lion 12 n at half time it's been converted to 18- 12 the other way 18 points to nothing scored by the Tigers in the second half what a fight back under pressure Kay [Music] they came here knowing that today was the day it was D day and then down by 12 at the break how do you think they felt well Raymond I I go back to what I said earlier I think paramat played the West Tigers back into this Clash they were gone here's Hudson 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 pen kicks it down the ground and Joel Kane is there not tackled loses the ball he's got a 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 the referee has said that Joel Kane has come up with the infringement great work from hodon flicks it out little bit of luck out here with David pen a doubling round puts the kick through and just have a look when Joe Kane picks it up I'm sure that it's forced out by shovsky yes it well may have been PR but did he knock it backwards and so doing param grabbed the opportunity with Penna the Tigers desperate in defense wagon Away by villanti and Smith and they hang on as long as they can Kelly wide the lion and it's gone loose it's still loose Hera will get possession and that has not been nullified The Tackle count from Casto for Nathan chaos and he will be held 10 out right in front for tackle so it's Casto angling Wesley back in the ball going backwards for Casto again and he's restarted The Tackle count again now lion puts a kick in Carlo drops on it l drop out for the Tigers well we're assuming here that Jamie lion didn't see the restart by the referee in first grade you've got to see that there's the rake out by shivoki if he did knock it down I fancy that he knocked it backwards anyway from a paramet point of view so I think they got that ruling right they got no dramas with that this is where the boy Jamie L made his mistake yeah I admire his initiative though as Peter Sterling said he should have known The Tackle C was restarted he could have been more patient but he he took what he saw he'll finish on the right side of the Ledger more in his career doing that and being negative here come the paramounts struggled with their attack can they conjure up a try in the dying moment through the hand for Hodson taken down by Gillette four minutes of the game to go dimick for kalis and kalis is taken by O'Neal got a ball away that's a miraculous pass from him now casto's put away 21 M out from the line dimmick in the center of the ground Galia and Center they make the tackle on Demi Center hangs on as long as he can then it's David Penner and Tyron Smith comes up gets it away Wesley on dimick is with it now dimi's inside the 20 M line angling across picking up Daniel wagon wagon goes straight and hard gets an offload to lion Lian gets it away parameter's got the ball they've got the ball down no no they haven't he's held 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 eel who's got it W's very confident Center says no you're kidding the referee says Darren Cent with you but we'll give param another shot so the scrum is being just looking at this Jubilation on one side and then the Tigers embracing one another eventually Steven Clark said I'm going with the Tigers you make no mistake about it one point could mean all the difference at the end of 26 [Applause] rounds param they are desperately trying to get across and force the draw western suburbs well two points is like four points this afternoon so held up in goal they get the advantages the attacking team can't believe it I just saw a scrum collect let's get your head in there get your head in there now now well the hook is down in the scrum it doesn't matter these days Hudson across for Kelly and Kelly can't get a pass away important Tackle by Sears Hudson again dimick on now it's out with Nathan heinar five out from the line second play is down Casto short ball for dii dii dick demies dick dick short of the line no it's a penalty a penalty to param Steven Clark calling timeout Dar Senter better be careful here he doesn't want his team to finish one short on very very thin you're on very thin [Applause] [Music] ice out where you go when you're ready so di stay you got to stay where you are go back as far as your line come back and get 10 m away from them Penna custo custo tries himself Tyron Smith wraps him up great Tackle by Tyron Smith six points the margin in favor of the Tigers as Wesley tries to bombard his way through the Defenders Casto along out for pin up Penner for wagon under two minutes to go wagon put away ni M out from the line param last throw of the dice casto's kick taken over the dead ball by caror with one and a half to go a line drop out to come param just appeared devoid of ideas he must have got a call from his Winger over there Peta Sterling has said at a number of occasions the Tigers left-and defense looks to be their bearest all through this game yet param really haven't gone there long enough or often enough probably going to be their last chance of the game bring it to the post go back to the right bring it to the post go back again give yourselves a couple of shots on mcginness on the right hand side of the fieldick Craig field his drop kick taken down by Wesley 45 out runs it to 25 out times tackled in the opposition 20 Nathan High Mark Casto we're on the third play dick dick it's been touched by the Tigers wagon has got it and six more tackles for the blue and goals how much more can the Tigers hold out Hudson across for dick dick gets it away for Wesley Wesley gets the ball to ground picked up by Kelly Kelly back to the 20 taken down gets it away lion lion kers Taylor away then custo now hinar hinar is held on the 10 custo 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 viol try 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 the 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 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 it'll be a green light and what a fitting finish to this wonderful game at param stadium this afternoon Brett Watson will have a chance to tie the scores up from 2 m in on the left hand side of the field and we had a draw in the first round May well be that scores are locked up in the second well suddenly shovsky has 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 the kick to come chovsky has the ball now Hudson is back near halfway we see the replay again CAU down the short side byi his battle with Hill all day has been a beauty the young fell comes out on Top This Time grounds the ball down the short side bilei and Hill young bull old bull young bull comes out on top but the amazing scene here is that a man that's kicked what four or five out of six Hodson has not been thrown the ball for the crucial kick Clinton shikovski is going to take the conversion that could make the difference in Paramount reels of season I think maybe the reason may will be if there's not an injury to Hudson that chowski is a stronger kicker it is on the good side for him if he is going to miss sometimes he does hook them to the left pretty badly and the report from the sideline is that Brian SM was basically asked Clinton shovsky whether he wanted to take the kick and good luck to him he said yes I'll take on the responsibility 20 out on the sideline for a draw it's on its way it's coming it's coming it's coming no it's short it is short chotski took on the responsibility the Tiger have won it they came here hoping to survive and that they have done
