Turning the Tide: Tigers Secured Comeback Win Amid Serious Injury to Fresh Recruit

The Tigers have exhibited encouraging signs in their new chapter, securing their second consecutive victory against the Dolphins.

After trailing 18-6 in the first half, the Tigers executed a determined comeback to clinch a 30-18 win.

“There’s something brewing here,” commented Dan Ginnane on Fox League.

However, there was a concern regarding an injury, as Jeral Skelton left the field with a knee injury during the second half following a standard tackle attempt on Jamayne Isaako.

The new signing did not return to play.

Initially, the Dolphins made a strong start with Jack Bostock scoring in the corner upon his return, but Tigers winger Sunia Turuva quickly retaliated.

Herbie Farnworth and Kodi Nikorima then widened the lead, placing the home side in a favourable position. Just before half time, young hooker Tallyn Da Silva powered his way over for the Tigers, keeping his team in the game at 18-12.

After a messy first 20 minutes of the second half, Turuva broke through for his second try in the 63rd minute.

The Tigers then surged ahead with Alex Seyfarth running over Nikorima to score following a concise pass from Koroisau out of dummy half.

Koroisau then sealed the win, darting from hooker 15 metres out and eluding Tom Gilbert.

“That’s captaincy at its finest,” Kevin Walters remarked on Fox League.

The Tigers now await a decision regarding Turuva, who has been put on report for a crusher tackle.

Looking ahead, the Dolphins are set to face the Broncos next Friday night at Suncorp Stadium, while the Tigers will finish off round four against the Warriors on Sunday.
