NRL Highlights: Bulldogs v Tigers - Round 9
We are underway the first of three games on Super Saturday. Burton with the kick off it goes down for Lachlan Galvin and David Clemmer brings it out here to play it just beyond the Tigers 10. That back injury he suffered and he was slammed to the turf at Campbelltown last week. As Galvin goes to Caesar, here’s a chance Buller over the top to Naden. He’s got Staines on his outside, he runs to Taff, draws and passes and the Tigers go the length of the field. Galvin Beautiful play linking up with his halves partner Caesar Buller does a superb job to attract some Bulldogs defenders and get the ball over the top to Naden at full speed and he had the Forbes Ferrari just looming on his outside just about finds a way through. Quick play the ball into space. Kurt Mann and again he Aiden. Susa just jams out of the line and he sums it up beautifully. Marnie putting pressure there on Marnie and also King from Simkin. Short pull here. They’ll crash their way in. Yes they will. Nice work there from Simkin back into the side this afternoon with now happy chorus out. That was the schoolboy star Jake Simkin played in that Queensland star started side that was littered with players like Sam Walker, Xavier Coates, Tessie, New Hammerso, Tabui Fido and he fights back to his feet from Marnie Goes to Hutchison Burton kick out on the outside of Maiden. A big fan there on Caesar as well. They’ll stop him a metre short with the head of steam up. Here was something to stop. They managed, but only just. Burden goes to Marni. Here is Hutchison who grabbers through the line, turning it around. Curran. It’s Curran who leads the chase. Nice work. Watch the ball here from Marni. Bullet like into the hands summed up perfectly by Hutchison at full speed. Desperation gets there, Forces the ball down. Now it’s Marty who finds Burton grabbers in behind Sherry. Was he taken there on suspicion they take his line away from him? This might be more than just a penalty. Just dabs it in behind Susie. You can see there. Naden just clearly changing his line. Burton with the strike bends it back. We are locked up here at up Course Stadium and also fainu hutches. It comes to current and Caesar awkward looking tackle there. He ended up hangover, the back Bateman and also Caesar that is a Symbian every day of the week from what we’ve seen. Massive pressure on the Tigers without epic Corasal already on report and he stays on the field. But that is stunning absolutely. And Burton steps up now. Puts the Dogs back in front. Second-half beyond, of course. Full time Pregame build up for the Titans and the Storm. Yeah, And now Burton into the backfield, open them up, Brighton pushing through the middle. Here’s Bronson Sherry, though. On the outside. Sherry runs away and this time it’s Burton. Just a mismatch there with speed with Papa Lee. He did well, looks in, plays out, holds ball beautifully, and the Dogs found their second try in the second-half and it’s been all Matt Burton position, defensive line coming up and really limiting what you can do on the next play, as Galvin looks inside, comes outside, Naden goes to stains, he chips in field. Here’s Jeremy Buller loping into the action coming across, though Karez is there, beats the tackle of Staines, spins away from Seyfarth, runs towards Simpkin. What a piece of play by Jacob Karez. And we’ve got a tiger who goes to the bin. Villiyami kick out, wants to mix it up with Alex Seyfarth and guess who arrives on the scene? He can help himself. Marty’s involved, as always, when there’s a minor flare up. So David Clemmer sent to the sin bin for descent and we’ll have a look at what happened here between Seyfarth and Karaz. You’re leading with the head, Yeah, it’s on report and you’re in the bin. We’re not discussing anything at the beginning of it. They lead pretty comfortably. And now here is Bateman comes through the hands, Galvin will kick coming across Reid, Marty ends up with it. And the celebrations begin here for the Bulldogs at, of course, Stadium, 22 points to 14.
