A clash of the No.9s now as Wayde Egan makes a carry and ducks his head down and is collected by Api Korosiau, who is penalised as the Warriors enter Tiger territory again. Benji Marshall said before kick-off his priority was winning the territorial battle, but that isnโt happening so far.
Tanah Boydโs last-tackle kick is collected easily by Faaletino Tavana in the in-goal, and suddenly thereโs drama โ he starts to run out of the in-goal, Adam Pompey makes he seems to think is a regulation tackle, and heโs sin-binned! The referee has obviously ruled Pompey was intentionally preventing Tavana from making a quick 20-metre tap and heโs been punished for a professional foul. Big call.
Warriors 10, Tigers 0 after 20 minutes
