This past weekend was an absolutely fantastic one in Australia's National Rgby League, with six of the eight games being decided by six points or less. Amongst them were my Wests Tigers, who scored a heartstopping 29-28 win over the Cronulla Sharks. Trailing 18-4 at halftime, the Tigers scored four tries in the first twenty minutes of the second half to be leading 28-18 before the Sharks put on a rally of their own to tie the scores at 28 eight minutes from fulltime. With just under a minute remaining, Tigers playmaker Robbie Farah potted a wobbly field goal from twenty metres out to secure the win.
My friend Jason is a Sharks fan and he visited us and we all watched the game together. The Sharks have had a terribly difficult season, losing NINE games by four points or less.
Last night the Rabbitohs scored an upset 24-18 victory over the Sea Eagles to move into the top eight. Next Sunday afternoon the Tigers and Rabbits will clash in a vital matchup. With six teams fighting for the last two playoff spots, it figures to be an exciting final two weeks of the regular season.
