LOSS 10-54
The Wests Tigers have exacted revenge on the Rabbitohs for their one-point victory at the Sydney Cricket Ground in round 10, running out 54 points to 20 victors at ANZ Stadium tonight (Saturday) in front of 14,856 Members and supporters. Despite fullback Luke Capewell score three tries, the Rabbitohs could not stop the Tigers from scoring ten tries of their own to rack up a half century. The Tigers scored first through giant winger Taniela Tuiaki in the third minute of play, his first of three tries. The Rabbitohs struck back nine minutes later when Luke Capewell scored a weel-structures try on the right hand side. The set play came from a repeat set of six in Tigers’ territory, which saw Capewell score out wide on the right. Halfback Chris Sandow converted from out wide to level the scores at six-all. Tuiaki scored his second in the 20th minute, followed by Corey Payne in the 26th minute of play, and Tuiaki again in the 30th. Capewell fired back, scoring his second try in the 37th minute after some quality work from Colin Best. Best ran to the left corner and held up a couple of defenders, before offloading to Capewell who dived over. The Tigers scored again in 39th minute of the first half to take the score to 26-10 at the break. The Tigers came out firing in the second half scoring tries to Blake Ayshford and Beau Ryan in the first 11 minutes of the half to extend the away team’s lead to 26 points. The Rabbitohs then mounted an offensive, giving Rabbitohs Members and supporters a faint hope of one of the red and green’s famous comebacks. Winger Nathan Merritt straightened the attack in the 57th minute, charging on to a Sandow short-ball to race 20 metres and score. Sandow converted to take the score to 36-16. Five minutes later, Capewell crossed for his third try after some great defence from Craig Wing. Wing followed through a kick and chased down Benji Marshall, knocking the ball from his grasp. Capewell regathered the loose ball to score. The Tigers then scored tries through John Skandalis, Shannon Gallant and a second to Ayshford to finish the scoring at 54-20. The Rabbitohs were outgunned throughout the match, making poor decision and handing the Tigers too much ball. Rabbitohs Head Coach Jason Taylor was very direct in his post-match comments. “It was a very disappointing performance,” Taylor said. “In patches, our performance was not up to NRL standard. We kept coming up with the poor decision and the error. The margin was the result of the style of free-flowing football played during the game. They scored too many soft tries, and we scored a couple of soft ones ourselves. “We have to be smarter with the ball in our hands. We still held out hope towards the end of the game because we know we can mount a comeback, but in saying that the performance was just not good enough in the main. “We’ve got to look at ourselves in the mirror and make sure that we’re doing the job as best as we can in everything we do.” Captain Roy Asotasi was equally as direct. “It was disappointing,” he summarised. “None of the boys are happy with our performance. We have nine games left and we have to do our best at training and in the game for the rest of the year. Nothing less.”

Reserve Grade - NSW Cup Round 15(Split Round)
v Central Coast Storm, North Sydney Oval, Sat Jul 4 2:30pm
LOSS 32-42
Late Changes - Capewell, Falloon, Jamian Lowe, Dalton, Ngaro were out. Apps started centre, Champion five-eighth, Matt Hunt hooker, Trembath prop, Kidwell second row, Ben Lowe lock, Blaker and Jack Ranpling on the bench. Bears coach Wayne Lambkin said the referee determined the result of his team’s 42-32 loss to Central Coast Storm at North Sydney Oval on Sunday. Norths were leading 20-14 early in the second half when the referee sent Samu Wara to the sin bin for allegedly holding a player down in the ruck. “You can see in the DVD that the Central Coast player was holding onto Samu’s jersey and then he got sin binned. It was just a bad decision.” Lambkin said. “They scored three tries while he was off the field and then we were 12 points down. “I don’t understand why they would send a junior referee to a game between the teams in second and third on the ladder.” Lambkin said he was happy with the team’s performance. “It’s disappointing that we scored seven tries and lost because we pride ourselves on our defence,” he said. “But we were playing against 12 guys who train seven days a week and my kids (players) go to work and come home to go and train.” He said the team was working well towards the semi-finals. “When it comes to the end of the season we’ve got a real chance against them - and they’re the best team in the competition, in my opinion,” he said. “They were bigger and stronger on the weekend but we showed them that we can still match it with them.” The Bears have dropped to fourth, position three points behind the Central Coast Storm, who are now on top of the table.
