Tigers looked flat today, failed to convert three first half opportunities, led 11-3 5 mins to halftime yet turned around down 17-11 . The game meandered as Easts lost Brandon, Mullins, Sanday, Riley, to go with White and Wilder who didn't start.
Bartley who had played well in Prem Reserve recently was terrible today as was Turner who was responsible for two first half missed opportunities and let his opposite winger in for two. Paraese tried hard Gordon was great Krelle and the Colts 9 were good and Faulkner went well.
i would have like to see Turner at 13 with Faulkner at 15 and Paraese on the wing.
Tigers scrum was dominant when allowed by some strange Refereeing. Sunnybank did enough to win with Tapuai, and McIntyre leading the way.
After Brothers loss and SOUTHS big win the Ladder should read
Easts 58
Brothers 55
UQ 54
Sunnybank 49
SOUTHS 45
With Easts to play Bond
UQ to play Sunnybank and
Brothers to play SOUTHS
