19th Minute Hunt steps and takes 25m and then offloads. Tigers defence is lazy and almost non-existent now. Who said RL3 was unrealistic? James joins in and runs 5m before passing back to Hunt who is tackled.
19th minute James runs straight and hard for another 15m and the Bears are on the Tigers 40 on tackle 4. Seems my interchanges failed as Fung has gone off instead of Perry who passes to Cambridge who is tackled. Perry kicks deep and the Tigers start their set on the 10m line.
Fulltime. The Tigers play out a set before Marshall makes a huge kick downfield which is cleaned up by James and the siren sounds. Great first up win by the boys. Central Coast Bears 42 - Wests Tigers 16

Gemmell was definitely our Motm. Scored a gun try, made at least 3 or 4 try savers early on when the team was down on confidence too. Cambridge sparked us with his two tries and defended solidly. Jacobs' goal kicking was fantastic and his attack and defence were very solid Myself along with O'Neill and Downpipes got through a mountain of defence as well and chimed in with a couple of try assists in the 2nd half.
There's no easy way to get them but I will attempt to manually compile them before the next game. I'm done for the day though. Need a beer badly.
Yeah I was almost certainly going to shift you there but Perry lifted his game in the 2nd half and played better.
