HUGE win last night for my Tigers. They defeated the North Queensland Cowboys 54-10 to move up to 7th place in the standings. The effect that the return of key playmakers Benji Marshall and Brett Hodgson had on the rest of the team was clear to see as the Tigers played with more enthusiasm and passion than they have for a number of weeks.
Having been filing in at halfback for Marshall in recent weeks, Robbie Farah was able to return to his usual and favoured position of hooker (pretty much the team quarterback and organiser on offense). He produced a man of the match performance, scoring one of the Tigers' ten tries and being directly involved in the lead-up to five others.
The Tigers are now 10-9 and with their remaining five games all against teams outside of the top eight, they have a great chance of pushing for a top four finish.
