00:00Here we go, the season begins for the Wests Tigers in the Newcastle Knights.
00:06Enjoy it live here on Fox League.
00:08And it's Jacob Saifiti who carries it up here.
00:11Castle's defence was very good last year.
00:14May onto Twale.
00:16Twale with the offload.
00:17Luai, there's a chance here.
00:19It comes out for Dewey.
00:20Now it's onto Skelton!
00:22And Skelton scores!
00:24Tigers are off and running!
00:26What a start for the home side!
00:29Oh boy! Tigers in!
00:31The pass selection was excellent.
00:33Got it on the outside.
00:34And Skelton scores the first try.
00:37You're not going to stop him that close to the line.
00:39As it comes back to the middle.
00:41Thompson to Frizzell.
00:42Now out to Cogger.
00:43Here's Pierce-Paul.
00:45And trapped in the tackle.
00:47Pierce-Paul does well.
00:49Ponger, he's away!
00:50Ponger's in the clear!
00:51Luai knocks the pass down and saves the try!
00:56Sharp, he can run.
00:58He's away.
00:59He's down the middle.
01:00Fletcher-Sharp slaloming away from the defence.
01:03Now Mason tries to hang on.
01:05That's a sensational run from Fletcher-Sharp.
01:10Terrell May.
01:12And the offload.
01:13He's got skill too, Terrell May.
01:15Twale loves to get rid of it.
01:17And now on hands and knees.
01:19And then the flick pass as well, if you don't mind, from Mason.
01:22Galvin looking for a chance to go through.
01:25The pass to De Silva.
01:26It's razzle-dazzle.
01:27And the Knights hang on with Ponger.
01:29Last tackle.
01:31Galvin to the line.
01:32Galvin needs to get rid of it.
01:34He does.
01:35Knocked down by Cogger.
01:36And it is a knock-on.
01:38It is a knock-on.
01:39And they go up here in Campbelltown.
01:41They've stacked the left previously.
01:45And it's just a simple hit-up for Fatape.
01:48And it's a penalty here for the Wests Tigers.
01:50Newcastle offside.
01:53Looks to Goodes.
01:54Tigers inch out to an eight points to nil lead.
01:58Now Braley.
02:00Into the line.
02:01Cogger.
02:02Out in front of Sharp.
02:03Cut out ball best.
02:05Two on two.
02:06Best likes his chances.
02:07And Best gets there.
02:09But it's going up as no try.
02:11Reloads.
02:13The arms hit the ground.
02:14That's a double.
02:15Gavin Best's ball-carrying arm hits the ground short of the goal line.
02:18He then promotes the ball, which is a double.
02:22We have a decision.
02:24Crossland up in the line.
02:26Cogger getting it on.
02:27This is nice.
02:28Lucas in and away.
02:30Lucas putting the foot down.
02:32Gets past Lewi.
02:33Still going.
02:34What a run.
02:35Galvin saves it around the ankles.
02:37But the Knights.
02:38Surely.
02:39Yes.
02:40Sharp is in.
02:41Finally the Knights are over.
02:43And this try-scoring machine puts it under the bar.
02:47And the Knights are back.
02:50To the Harvey Norman replay.
02:52Straight through Dylan Lucas.
02:54But look at the play of the ball.
02:56Does all the hard work.
02:58Doesn't rest on his laurels after he's been tackled.
03:00Look at the play of the ball here.
03:02They can't get back for Tigers.
03:04And the Newcastle Knights are in.
03:07The Fox Sports Lab, just to remind us.
03:09There has not been a set restart in this game.
03:11This is a winding run.
03:12This is a chance.
03:13This is a big chance here as Schiller gets into half way.
03:16And puts Newcastle back on the front foot.
03:18Gagai quickly on him.
03:20He got wiped out there.
03:22As Cogger goes downfield.
03:24Gagai's got it.
03:25He's got it.
03:26He's got it.
03:27He's got it.
03:28He's got it.
03:29He's got it.
03:30He's got it.
03:31He's got it.
03:32He's got it.
03:33He's got it.
03:34He's got it.
03:35He's got it.
03:36He's got it.
03:37He's got it.
03:38Gagai's still down but Newcastle rolling.
03:40Ponga.
03:41Over the 20.
03:42He's sharp.
03:43Here's a chance.
03:44No.
03:45What a tackle for Tupac.
03:47Somehow they hold on.
03:48But for how much longer?
03:50Ponga.
03:51They've got numbers.
03:53Best.
03:54Surely.
03:55Best.
03:56Unbelievable.
03:57He comes away to Maju.
03:58Maju gets there.
03:59Maju gets there.
04:00gets there. Shortside, Ponga, Pearce-Paul, flies, Pearce-Paul, can't get there. Tigers
04:09hold on and that will come out for the West Tigers. The final play. Galvin, the
04:19little grubber, Luai coming through, Pearce-Paul though is there and Newcastle
04:24that should do it for them. But it's Newcastle getting the two points
04:29ten points to wait the final score.
