Forget to mention how my Tigers did on the weekend. They got their butts kicked, pure and simple. Lost to the Parramatta Eels 38-8, ending their six match winning streak. The Eels are a team the Tigers have had a lot of trouble against in recent years and this was their sixth straight win against us. We trailed 16-2 at halftime and it only got worse in the second half. They were too enthusiastic and aggressive for us, really just blew us off the park with some fantastic attacking play and concrete wall defense.
Tigers captain Brett Hodgson suffered multiple fractures of the left cheekbone plus eye socket after a sickening head clash with twenty minutes to play but stayed on the field until the end, even setting up the Tigers lone try. He'll need surgery and will be out for eight weeks. Below is a picture of him following the head clash:
