KICK-OFF! Here we go.
Here come the Tigers looking to put this contest to bed quickly as they skip onto Bankwest stadium. The Bulldogs stride out, down for the fight but can they produce enough points?
Mbye with the final kick of the half. He takes his time to line it up, puts it over. HALFTIME.

Tigers once again, once they start to get some momentum cough it up. Grant tried to surge through but is hit hard and loses it.

Both sides have looked bright here, Bulldogs have poked their nose through but a lack of support has hindered them while the Tigers are munching metres but not put much on yet.
PENALTY TIGERS! Brave take from Doueihi who is rattled by the tackle but he was tackled in the air.
PENALTY BULLDOGS! Offside.
Been a sloppy start from the Tigers. A lot of enthusiasm but Aloiai tries to throw an offload and just fumbled it.
Big blow for the Dogs! Will Hopoate is slumped on the touchline, clutching at an ankle. He is hobbling off and looks like his night is done.
Good first set from the Tigers, they're making metres but Luciano Leilua spills it on last. Dogs scrum.
KICK-OFF!
Here come the Bulldogs in their traditional blue and white vee jersey while the Tigers are in their black jersey lined up on halfway ready to get this show on the road.
