NRL Highlights: Tigers v Dragons - Round 6

Zack Lomax had to kick things off at Campbelltown on Sunday afternoon. Footing Stefano coming off the back fence to the opening hitter and toy Kamano and put on his back. Strong defence, first up from the Dragons. After that reshuffle, they’re headed his way. He uses a decoy here to get Sloan involved on the outside catch and pass and the opening try inside 2 minutes from Zack Lomax. What about this start from the Dragons? The Azuzu Mux replay. It’s like a training gallop. We can see Justin Olan there. He’s in a really strange position defensively. The space. Have a look at Olan, very tight and backwards. Imagine defending Tyrell Sloan. He’s not a player you want to get on your heels. He’s an outside defender. You got to be up his face. Anyway, We got our wires crossed. Tigers are in the red Sign. Here goes Buller. Almost for Jereen Jordan Buller. Middle name after the legendary basketball figure. And he was close to playing basketball as well. Oh, brilliant. The deception of API, Corisal and then API. There’s a toy. Kamanu, nice and close and the eyes go out the back. The double pump. That’s great play by the little #9. Big man too close to the line. Hitting space. He must have been scoring. Sullivan caught high the pier and that’s why the penalty is blown. His heart checks on Sullivan. The Tigers have got four, The Dragons have only got 3, and that created the space for blood. Sullivan It’s just desperation from Terrell Sloane to get out of the the scrum. Trying to make the lead 2 here makes the necessary adjustment 6/4 to the West’s Tigers. The former Bronco and Rabbito Macquarie uses a decoy in this. Shane Flanagan rotates his forwards very late off. Low there. Eisenhoof Another one. Great pick up from Hearts. Oh brilliant by Ben Hearts. Take your pick out there on the right hand side it’s Jack Bird who said thanks very much. Throws it on the ground. Players all over the place. Space and Ben Hunt and he finds the right man And Jack Bird. Oh it’s the key. When the off load comes it comes to a playmaker. Best decision making. Creative player. Big hit by Debellen on Staines. Now it’s Olin’s turn to take on the big man. Push the offload. Buller flicks it out to Sullivan. It’s play on for the Tigers. Oh what a step from tupo. See you later Jack Bird amidst from Tupo team lifting moments And now on the outside 3 running with the power who’s just come on to play on the edge out there and they got to play. Now play early. Give it to your center and they kick Cesar for Staines. Rubber lower gets the bounce he wanted. What a moment that is. Bouncing the ball, papering the visitors. And now Rabaloa turns it into a nice return as well. Injuries. Surveillance. Who put players. Sorry injuries. Jack Bird tackle One there. Michaeli making it count there. Safe path hunt. Extra hang time again. Fuller. He went underneath that. Lomax got there again. And Zack Lomax. Oh does the unselfish thing. He is so good under the highballs at Lomax. Creating a try for Flanagan. Travels a long distance. He gets there and then competes up in the air. He comes down with it a lot, but the first instinct is to compete. Billy. What? What could Boar have done different here? Well, he jumps off 2 feet to start with. He was caught under the ball. He had to go back. If you can come into the football and be more aggressive instead of just standing there, and that was granted the release from his contract by the Dragons at seasons end. He’s the target again here, Flanagan going out to the Lomax side. Up he goes. Oh what a take again and the pass on on the stretch couldn’t reel it in. But he’s mercurial. That was brilliant. That was brilliant. He caught it on the fingertips and then threw it over the back of his head. Let’s watch this. Oh, catches it behind his head and then just rips it over his right shoulder and 2015 meters out and a whole lot of depth if they want to go to that right hand side. Sullivan kicks and played at by the Dragons and alive. Now Sullivan finds his winger at Charlie Staines as his first four pointer of the season. I think it’s going upstairs as a no try. There’s no knock on there and it comes at the back, comes backwards. I think it’s a clear knock on by Papali trying to pick it up here. Yeah, he rolls the ball forward. Azayah. Papali touches the ball 1st and it travels forward. We have a knock on turning forward. Back under by the halves. Flanagan. Oh, big hits. It went a little high, went a little wrong from clever on the 5/8 Paul Flanagan getting high. I think it’s just all chest on chest, isn’t it? A little arm at the end. Well, the arm at the end, but the contact isn’t. The shoulder’s not on the head. Chewing up seconds on the clock as well. Lomax drives it through Molo and looming off his shoulder was Flanagan who gets it eventually. Really late off load, surely another off load keeping it alive here. The Dragons and now the space opens up are cruising over. Jayden Sewer and the Dragons in a dominant position now and Frankie Molo late off load. Isuzu MUX replay and gets the ball out to the left hand side of the field and then when Jayden Sewer gets the ball, left foot, left foot. There’s way too much space in the middle of the field for the Tigers. When a player comes back through the middle of the field like this and there’s that much space and there’s some Tigers there that stopped working and stopped moving their feet, Good footwork at the end there. Wait, wait. Slow to get up again. Happy he’s putting everything into it. No joy. Big hole opens up and the combat might just be on Isuzu. Emu X Replay just gets up, goes hard at Aizen Huth who turns in and he’s defending normally where a halfback was. Ben hunts in the centres, just goes through with that hand load on him. Harlem Globetrotters at times here on this set from the Tigers. Caesars kick onto the chest of Lomax for the deflating end of that set and Lomax is away, potentially. Clemmer had to make the tackle offside. Is the call or is it on to lookouts? It’s threatening to explode. Like don’t get on these two teams. Stefano is a Watcher. Well, Jayden Sewer came flying in. Here’s a head eye tackle. Oh, von Clemmer. He might be in the bin for this one. And then a little jab, Yeah. And then watch Stefano. Did they beat him last year? They’re in the rain. That was their first win of the season. They are indeed correct. Jelly siren sounds full time here. It’s the Dragons 24, the Tigers 12.
