Elimination game No. 2 is about to unfold here. It’s gonna be a big one.
And we run away from the board of uh Mark.
Oh, it’s gone on a full.
What a shocking start here.
Er, that’s a very bad kick there.
Very bad kick by the many moroks.
Yes, David now will be asked to play the ball
taking the short side again.
Oh, look at that.
It looks so easy from up here,
but the Tigers have gone in for the first try.
Kick to come. Yeah,
Terry, I’ve been saying that the lay’s next tag is
they’ve got a very youthful side
selves in that position where they had to defend their line uh,
for repeated sets of six right from the kick off.
They’ve kicked it out on the touch out,
out on the full kicked it into touch
and then they come down here in their first set of six
with ball in hand.
They ah, knocked it on and then it’s just that ah,
building pressure from this young outfit
from the Lae Snax Tigers
across the flooding waters to get across to Netta
to catch their flight to Mosby.
Yeah, that’s a good story for them.
And if they can win this match,
they have converted the,
the conversion of the try leading by six points to nil.
His player the play continues in a mid time. Muruks
putting some pressure on the Tigers defence.
15 away from the line. Nice dart.
Out of dammihaf sent it away and the gig my junior goes over اے
where what? He’s in?
Well, it’s not so unfortunately,
they’re gonna get a two points or go for a
find a line 20 metres out.
Okay, good.
It looks like what, what was there?
Uh, 10 meters out.
It looks like they gonna
take the two here.
Yeah, in a elimination final,
when you have two points on offer and you got a good kicker,
don’t forget it.
Yeah, penalty successful.
Great strike there by the No. 9 Mudwill Alfred
some,
some good touches of the football.
Here’s half a break, goes right through support on the inside
that went forward, I thought,
but play on is the call. Poser looking for support play
and then he finds one in the shape of Emmanuel Balio.
Balio sends the ball away,
but good scramble by the Tigers defence. Yeah,
6, 6 to go
moral 5 away now from the line,
Tony from Danny half and goes over,
bangs it down
and the crowd erupts here at the Santos National Football Stadium. Yeah,
that’s the try that the men in maroons won.
Yeah, they still have another round to go next week
and after that would be a elimination of the four out of the six teams.
Here’s the conversion attempt and it’s waved away.
Score remains tigers 8 muruks on four.
Just over two minutes left to play in this one.
But again, that’s a great try.
There Mark Tony out of dummy half.
Tigers couldn’t quite scramble hard enough.
They wanna play a bit better and compete a bit better.
Uh, discipline is a big thing and focus on not making mistakes
as a beautiful breaks being made here.
Miles Bossu, this is the start that the South needed.
The Mendi Muruks just like that
coming out of the sheds and scoring a try.
Yeah, miles posi playing fullback for Mendi Muruks.
He has shown it week in, week out.
He’s got the speed. He’s got the balance.
So we got uh, Mark Tony now moves in,
strikes it and uh, straight proven that. Oh no.
Yeah, it’s the win again.
I take it back. Yeah,
it’s the win again. Very good attempt by Mack Tony there,
but it was waved away and the score remains eight points apiece.
They find themselves inside the Moruk’s half.
Yeah, I don’t think he’s had a break yet either.
The big No. 10 for the Tigers,
but a set restart as well.
Good field territory here.
Now let’s see if uh, the Tigers can turn it on. كبسي
it makes no mistake, knocks it over
five out 20 from touch back towards the middle. Mctony
not well directed there, but uh,
andaku is back there to clean up and then uh,
the cross country sends the ball away
a real and then Giggs my step back in field.
A bit of footwork as well,
but the Tigers defence able
To regroup and shut him down.
One minute left, 18 out now from the Tigers line.
Oh, that’s it. That’s the ball game.
Seconds remaining
and the Muruk season gone.
Tigers prevail. They move on now to take on Wigman next week
in the second elimination final.
But what a finish to the contest.
It’s not done yet. There’s a seconds remaining.
They’re gonna play this scrum out,
but the Tigers just need to hang on to the ball here.
As you can see, uh,
no reaction yet from uh, Noel Zeming.
Here’s the fan start leaving the mngranistan.
Here’s 2nd time for the former hunter.
No attempt to take the Tigers to a final 40.
He did well, uh,
last year, but uh,
couldn’t get through to the big one.
But here they are now to start their campaign and it’s full time.
The Tigers have prevailed over their arch rivals from Leigh.
It was a, a brutal affair,
but the Tigers able to capitalize on opportunities they had.
