Friday’s double-header kicks off with two sides looking to keep pace with the top eight, but it’s the Cowboys who’ll be more confident at their Townsville fortress.
The 12-man Cowboys hold out a Tigers’ raid before the siren. That was a half of two halves. The Cowboys looked like they were going to run away with this after three tries in the opening 20 minutes. But the Tigers have fought back with two tries of their own and what feels like a big momentum shift. It sets up a cracking second half.Val Holmes attempts to tackle a rampaging Isaiah Papali’i close to the Cowboys’ line, he falls off and onto the back of the Tiger’s leg.
Jahream Bula oulteaps Scott Drinkwater, he juggles the ball before diving over. What a swing in momentum.The Tigers find a way to keep the Cowboys out after that opening 20-minute blitz. They finally get their attack going by spinning the ball out to Solomon Alaimalo on the left wing. He brushes off a pretty poor tackle attempt from Scott Drinkwater and strolls over.Too easy for the Cowboys.
