Important win for the Tigers tonight, 22-12 over the Dragons. They are inching closer to clinching a playoff berth.
Results so far this weekend:
STORM 24 Titans 16
Sea Eagles 23 RABBITOHS 6
EELS 36 Roosters 22
TIGERS 22 Dragons 12
COWBOYS 52 Warriors 12
Rabbitohs-Sea Eagles was a home game for the Rabbits, but it was not played at their regular home ground. They took it up to the New South Wales Central Coast. The Bunnies were out of sorts and never looked comfortable. Oh, well. They had won six in a row coming in. Big test for them next week against the Sharks.
The Warriors are now gone for the season after that flogging from the Cowboys, their fifth loss in a row. They have been outscored by a combined total of 97-16 the last two weeks, after losing three close ones before then.
The Titans and Dragons are all but dead, as they are now two games behind the 8th-placed Tigers with three weeks remaining. The Knights and Raiders will have to win their games to stay in touch.
