Round
5 Photo Action - Wests Tigers V Melbourne Storm
(Sterlo mode) "We can see here that Matt Geyer (left) and
Matt Orford (right) appear to be in two minds as the Wests Tigers
attack comes their way.........
....... but as play continues, it is clear that all hands are
on deck trying to wrap the ball carrier up..........
........ and it's try time for Wests Tigers hooker Ciriaco
Mescia, his
first for 2001. This pose featured on the next Footy Show.
The Melbourne jumpers feature the player's name which to me is
very welcomed. It might also remind TV commentators that players do
have real names and not just nicknames.
During the half time break, did the Video Referee tell referee
Steve Clark to do the kick off? It looks like it in this
shot........
.... however, it is actually the Tigers who have to kick off.
Steve Clark blows time on and Tiger John Simon is about to send the
ball deep into Storm territory.
Tigers winger John
Hopoate is surrounded by Melbourne Storm players but still looked
like getting the ball away.
Storm players walk off for half time and can not seem to
believe the scoreline.
Memo to Melbourne - there are no places to hide on Leichhardt
Oval.......
Memo received!
Shortly after this photo, there was a fight between Tigers
player Matt Seers (1) and Stormer Aaron Moule (3).
John Carlaw (2) waits to receive the ball after a tackle.
