Report: Jersey Flegg Round 4 vs Warriors

After trailing 20-4 at the break, the home side came up with a quality second half to snatch a competition point.

A shift to the right produced early points for the Magpies, with the move resulting in Will Craig scoring in the corner after five minutes.

An error from a kick allowed the Warriors to grab their first try in the 16th minute, and they scored their second through Alvin Chong Nee in similar circumstances to make it 12-4 after 28 minutes.

Harry Tauafiafi-Iutoi went on to bag a four-pointer in the left-hand corner for the visitors to extend their lead and some heads-up play from Jett Cleary put Rapheal Sio over for a fourth Warriors try.

With the score reading 20-4 at half-time, Wests Tigers had to score first in the second period, and they did so when Iverson Matai’s grubber kick deflected off the goalpost padding into the hands of Jeremiah Leatigaga.

Craig grabbed his second of the afternoon when he capitalised on the back of a neatly-worked scrum play to bring Wests Tigers within six points, and they went on to level proceedings with nine minutes to go.

Lachlan Broederlow proved too hard to handle close to the line to make it 20-20 in the 72nd minute.

Both sides went close to scoring with the match on the line; however weren’t able to grab that last-minute winner.

Wests Tigers 20 (Craig 2, Leatigaga, Broederlow tries; Conti 2/4 goals) drew with Warriors 20 (Falemoe-Afamasaga, Chong Nee, Tauafiafi-Iutoi, Sio tries; Cleary 2/4 goals) at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.
