Tom Trbojevic injured as Paramatta come from behind to beat Manly ... (ABC News)

An injury to Tom Trbojevic is cause for concern for Manly and NSW, as Parramatta rally late to beat the Sea Eagles.

Brown added a second in the final minute of the game to ensure the Tigers' third win of the season. Winger Jacob Kiraz scored down the Canterbury left moments after Hastings returned to the field to cut the Tigers' lead to just two points and allow the Dogs to dream of an unlikely comeback. That allowed him to put Harper over, and when Garrick had his second try from a nice Foran grubber, the Sea Eagles were well in control at 20-10. With the Eels down a man after Moses had pulled Trbojevic back on a break, the number one split Parramatta open with some nice footwork from within his own end. Trbojevic had earlier played his best game of the season to help Manly to the lead. The 25-year-old left the field, with Manly weighing up whether to send him straight to hospital with the blow.

Our defence let us down in the first half and let us down a bit in the second half. "We had a lot of possession in the first half, we applied a lot of pressure in the first half and you know you are going to get rewarded with that later in the game. We should be able to defend our line, we shouldn't let in cheap tries. We have just got to tidy up those moments in the game that are hurting us," Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire. "Our discipline needs to change and we just made a few errors that we need to rectify. I always felt in the boys could get back in control we would be able to get the game.

Dogs coach baffled by refs' pivotal sin bin call (Wide World of Sports)

The Bulldogs had all the momentum when Aaron Schoupp was sin binned. It's a call that left his coach stunned.

"We made a few errors there that we need to rectify. Schoupp did offer his side a glimmer of hope, scoring a 73rd minute try just minutes after his return to the field, but it proved to be a case of too little, too late. I don't see what else the player could do.

Dog days aren't over as Wests Tigers ensure losing start to Potter reign (The Roar)

It isn't the fault of the Wests Tigers that a significant portion of those tuning in for this Friday 6pm fixture were interested in…

On the seventh, they scored again: Burton caught the Tigers’ line flat-footed with a long pass to Aaron Schoupp, who released Kiraz for a highly deserved first try in the NRL. He was caught, but the Tigers were forced to hold down and Jackson Hastings found himself in the bin. Off the resulting penalty, Garner again crashed into the Canterbury right edge and was stopped, but recent Tigers acquisition Fa’amanu Brown burrowed in for his first NRL try since 2018. It was 18-0, and only not more because the Tigers had rolled through Hastings, Madden and Hastings again in vain attempts to find someone to kick goals. Within seven minutes of the second half, the deficit had gone from 18 to just six. Our defence let us down in the first half and then a little in the second half. When Burton kicked for him on the third tackle on their own 40m line, there was more than a whiff of desperation about the play. “I thought our players supported really well and and had traffic beside the ball to create space. The first point of call is the dummy half and you’ve allowed him to score the try.” His 19 touches were second only to Matt Burton and more than Kyle Flanagan, the halfback. At their best, the Tigers are a team that can complete and make life hard for an opponent. This, too, was the most points that they have scored in 2022.

“It was unintentional, he let go of the player,” Potter said. He stepped through sleepy Tigers defence with Matt Burton on hand for the big man’s offload and Canterbury’s first points. “We gave away four or five cheap penalties that just invited down the field. “I don’t see what else the player could do. “I was told I’d never play, never run again. Thinking about it, all the pain that I went through, right now it all feels worth it.”
