BLACK SATURDAY FOR TIGERS IT WAS BLACK SATURDAY FOR THE TIGERS WHEN THEY TOOK ON ARCH RIVALS BARRABA, GOING DOWN TO THE BULLDOGS 52 TO 18. TO MAKE THINGS MUCH WORSE WE LOST ONE OF OUR FAVORITE SONS WITH CRAIG McADAM BREAKING HIS ANKLE, THIS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 10 MINUTES AND THE GAME WAS CALLED OFF EARLY AS THE AMBO'S WERE ON THE WAY, AND I MIGHT ADD THEY DID A GREAT JOB. ANOTHER AMBO WAS ALSO CALL FOR RICK McKenzie WHO SUFFERED A HEAD CLASH AND NEEDED SOME ATTENTION. THANK GOD WE HAVE THE WEEKEND OFF NEXT WEEK OUR INJURY COUNT IS OFF THE CHART more -->

RUGBY LEAGUE LOSES A GREAT MAN STEVE MAMAE WAS KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT LAST TUESDAY COMING HOME FROM DUNGOWAN'S FOOTY TRAINING THE FIRST TIME I MET STEVE WAS AFTER HE RAN RIOT AT ONE OF OUR HOME GAMES V THE COWBOYS, I WENT INTO THE RSL CLUB AFTER THE GAME A WAS GREETED BY WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BAND PLAYING, HOWEVER I SOON FOUND OUT IT WAS STEVE DOING KARAOKE, A GREAT SINGER AND A GREAT BLOKE, THE TIGERS PUT THE BUCKET AROUND AT OUR LAST HOME GAME AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR THE REST OF OUR HOME GAMES. WE WILL THEN PRESENT THIS TO THE COWBOYS TO PASS ON TO STEVE'S FAMILY. more -->

TIGERS DOWN BY TWO AGIAN THE TIGERS LOST TO KOOTY ON SATURDAY 38 TO 36, THE GAME SEESAWED FROM THE START WITH THE HOME SIDE LEADING AT HALF TIME. BUT SOME QUESTIONABLE DECISIONS LATE IN THE SECOND HALF SEALED THE TIGERS FATE. ON A BETTER NOTE GOOD TO SEE CRAIG McADAM BACK, HOWEVER THE FORWARDS INJURY LIST KEEPS CLIMBING WITH BAMBO OUT FOR THE SEASON WITH A BROKEN CHEEK BONE AND RICHARD KENNEDY WITH A BROKEN THUMB. ARE YOU OUT THERE BUGS AND JOHNO WE NEED YA. WE HAVE THE TOUGH TASK OF BEATING QUIRINDI AT HOME NEXT WEEK SO WE WILL NEED PLENTY OF SUPPORT FROM OUR FAITHFUL SUPPORTERS. more -->

CREEK TAKE THE TWO BY TWO WERRIS CREEK OPENED THEIR G4 2ND DIVISION SEASON WITH A WIN OVER MANILLA 46 TO 44. THE GAME STARTED ALL TIGERS WHEN THEY SKIPPED TO A 22 TO 4 LEAD MID WAY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF, HOWEVER IN TYPICAL CREEK STYLE THEY RALLIED TO TAKE THE LEAD EARLY IN THE SECOND HALF MAINLY OFF TIGER ERRORS. THE TIGERS NEVER GAVE UP SNATCHING THE LEAD BACK A COUPLE OF TIMES THROUGH THE SECOND HALF BUT THE CREEK MANAGED TO HANG ON FOR A GREAT VICTORY. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK AT BENDY. more -->
