Pathways Hub - Week 1

Westpac Tarsha Gale Cup (Under 19s) - Wests Tigers 

The Wests Tigers Tarsha Gale Cup side has kicked off their season with a nail-biting 12-10 victory over the Sydney Roosters Indigenous Academy.

After Wests Tigers led 12-0 at the break, the visitors stormed home late, however the Wests Tigers scramble defence held them out on multiple occasions to close out the match.

An outstanding showing from co-captain and Tarsha Gale Cup debutant, Lucyannah Luamanu-Leiataua, was a highlight of the Wests Tigers performance and the second-rower split the Roosters defence early to grab the first points of the game.

Front-rower, Ella Walker, then charged over to extend the home side’s lead, before the Roosters mounted a second-half fightback.

The Roosters displayed some impressive ball movement and offloading throughout the contest and tries to Tyra Ekepati and Mahlie Cashin ensured the match would go right down to the wire.

Wests Tigers’ impressive defence though ultimately ensured they came away from the opening day of the season with two competition points.
