Eels vs Tigers

The Eels celebrated their first win at Leichhardt Oval in 21 years to move to within striking range of the top four after coming from behind to down Wests ...

I think we have spent 80 or 90 weeks in a row in the top eight so we must be reasonably consistent to do that, we have got to try our best every week and teams are showing us plenty of respect at the moment because they are coming after us. I thought we were tough, we won the arm wrestle for a fair bit of the match, I said to the guys this week at training was the best in my five weeks and I think it showed in the performance. When you get a man down in the NRL it is hard to defend. We have won 10 games and we are still not at our best, so we have put ourselves in a position that if we can find our best each week that is what we are chasing. It is just that attention to detail," - Tigers interim coach Brett Kimmorley. "I thought we did a lot of good stuff, we asked a lot of questions and we scored more points today than we have for a number of weeks.

“And they come up with a play two kick that doesn’t come off. He was nice and direct in taking on the line early.” If it comes off beautiful, but a big risky play.” “Play two and they have got a man in the bin and are in full control of the game. His career best is 31 in 2019. Campbell-Gillard again led the Eels from the front with 91 run metres, a tackle bust, an offload, 31 tackles and a try in a strong performance in the absence of Junior Paulo and Ryan Matterson in the middle. “I go back to the Luke Brooks kick on play two and he was unable to execute,” Parker said. Brooks was guilty of four errors including a horror decision to kick on tackle two, which turned the momentum of the match in the Eels favour. “They are down a man and are looking to come up with a kick on play two,” Parker said. A poor kick form Brooks on tackle two gave the Eels the field position to score through Maika Sivo in the corner. Sivo then turned provider to kick in field for Reed Mahoney to score and give the Eels an unlikely lead on the stroke of halftime. The Eels have beaten the Tigers 28-20 on the back of a Mitchell Moses masterclass in a seesawing clash at Leichhardt Oval with Luke Brooks guilty of some poor errors.

Two contentious decisions have seen the Parramatta Eels robbed of two early tries against the Tigers.

The second decision was just minutes later, when Penisini crossed but was called back for a forward pass. The decision was overturned, much to the surprise of Lane. The Eels looked to have scored with their first use of the ball when Shaun Lane took a great catch and crossed in just the second minute.

But his decision to kick on the second tackle inside Parramatta's 20 backfired in a big way. Brooks saved a certain try by tackling Reed Mahoney close to the line midway through the second half. The Tigers' tough draw will not help their battle to avoid the wooden spoon.
