Lightning has struck twice for the Wests Tigers, stunning the South Sydney Rabbitohs thanks to a final minute field goal from Luke Brooks.

The Rabbitohs finished with 15 players after losing Hame Sele to a concussion and Jacob Host to a dislocated shoulder. Souths challenged given there was only two minutes left, but the call was proven right - and a strange game, as those between the Rabbitohs and Tigers often are, came to an end shortly after. It came after a bizarre incident on the previous set, where Damien Cook had charged the ball down and regathered, only for a brilliant refereeing call to intervene, saying that the chargedown had grazed another Rabbitoh, who was accidentally offside.

David Nofoaluma got the scoring underway for the evening, latching onto a cut-out pass from Daine Laurie and barging past two defenders to score his fourth try ...

Shortly after Milne’s return, Wests Tigers began to target the right edge of South Sydney and were quickly rewarded. A late break to South Sydney saw Alex Twal sent to the sin bin for a professional foul, but the home side held on to enter halftime with a two-point advantage. However, South Sydney were able to overcome the man advantage and Cody Walker equalised the scores before Alex Johnston put his side in front with a try in the left corner.

They also bagged their first try of the second half with the Tigers down to 12, with Alex Twal off the field for a professional foul just before the break. Bizarrely, Souths scored both their first-half tries while down to 12 men, with Milne sin-binned for a late high hit in the lead up to the Tigers' opening points. Laurie was involved in everything before his injury, putting David Nofoaluma over for the Tigers' first with a quick catch-and-pass from Hastings. The win came at some cost, though, with Tigers fullback Daine Laurie suffering a medial injury in his knee and expected to miss a fortnight. It came at the end of an enthralling clash which featured Brooks putting the Tigers six up with a 70-metre runaway try late on before the Rabbitohs hit back to level the scores.

Luke Brooks was the hero as the Wests Tigers defeated South Sydney 23-22 in a thriller on Saturday night.

How good for the Tigers! Stoked for them. And at the death! The Wests Tigers have pulled off a thrilling one-point win for the second week in a row thanks to the efforts of one of their star players.
