South Sydney end Wests Tigers' NRL season

Wests Tigers' NRL season is over but only after putting up an almighty fight on both the field and scoreboard in a 劇の 26-24 loss to South Sydney.

On a 大混乱/混沌とした Thursday night at Bankwest Stadium, Luke Brooks and Dane Gagai both spent time in the sin-貯蔵所 for throwing punches that landed on each other's 長,率いるs.

The pair could both 直面する 禁止(する)s for striking, as the Tigers were at one 行う/開催する/段階 減ずるd to 11 men with Alex Twal also off for a professional foul.

But it still only 証明するd a minor hiccup in their 復帰 from 20-0 負かす/撃墜する.

A week after 得点する/非難する/20ing 16 points in the final 11 minutes to (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域 Manly, the Tigers looked like they were going to do it again.

Unwanted 星/主役にする Benji Marshall showed 調印するs of his 魔法 best with a 手渡す in three tries, after 要求するing strapping on his 権利 ankle.

But the 35-year-old was left to rue a grubber-kick that went dead from 20 metres out on the second 取り組む with three minutes to play.

"He tried really hard," coach Michael Maguire said.

"He was in a bit of 苦痛 but he stayed out there and put that to the 味方する.

"He worked really hard for his チーム仲間s. Along with Brooksy, they really had a fair 割れ目 tonight."

After the Rabbitohs 得点する/非難する/20d three tries to lead 20-0 inside 27 minutes, the Tigers' 近づく-thing began when Luke 獲得する 攻撃する,衝突する a gap from の近くに distance.

It was suddenly 20-12 at the break when Marshall floated a 削減(する)-out ball for Tommy Talau on the left 辛勝する/優位.

The 復帰 looked over when Cody Walker helped Campbell Graham take advantage of the 11-man 防御の line to make it 26-12.

But again, the Tigers 辞退するd to 降伏する.

Brooks 得点する/非難する/20d next in bizarre circumstances, when Marshall scooped up a loose ball and flicked it 支援する to a grubbering David Nofoaluma.

Brooks chased 負かす/撃墜する the ball and 膝d it over the line before 落ちるing on it.

Marshall then put a two-man 削減(する) out ball on Asu Kepaoa's chest to 減ずる the 利ざや to two with 13 minutes to play.

But that was where it stopped, with Marshall's poor grubber ending their last real attacking 適切な時期 and leaving them four points outside of the 最高の,を越す eight.

It means if Cronulla (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域 the 軍人s on Sunday, the NRL's 最高の,を越す eight will be 始める,決める in 石/投石する.

一方/合間, Souths are now fifth and still 所有する one of the most dangerous attacks in the NRL.

They have won six of their past seven games, 得点する/非難する/20ing the most points in the NRL during that run at an 普通の/平均(する) of 32 per match.

Walker had a 手渡す in all four tries with his quick 手渡すs, with Corey Allan also on 解雇する/砲火/射撃 早期に.

Walker put Gagai over for the night's first, and then 支援するd it up as he and Cook 破産した/(警察が)手入れする the line open to 許す Allan to go over.

They looked ready to put on a cricket 得点する/非難する/20 when Walker and Allan sent Alex Johnston away on the 左翼 in the next 始める,決める, before Graham finished it off.

"We just showed for 29 minutes what we can do," coach Wayne Bennett said.

"We let ourselves 負かす/撃墜する with mistakes and 減少(する) balls here and errors there and all of a sudden we looked like we could be beaten."
