Then they shift it wide to the right and Ali Leiataua slips over for his team’s third try.That’s a couple of tries while Bunty Afoa has been sidelined for his late tackle, though in fairness the Warriors were already looking pretty dominant before that sin binning.The only thing going wrong for the visitors is their goal-kicking, with Adam Pompey missing two of his three shots at goal.Warriors 14, Tigers 0 after 19 minutes8.18pmTRY: Warriors on fire as Khan-Pereira scoresBy With Afoa already in the bin the Tigers immediately give away another penalty via a dangerous tackle from Samuela Fainu, and the Warriors get into attacking territory again.Nice work out of dummy-half from Wade Egan deceives a couple of defenders near the ruck and the Warriors make use of the extra numbers out wide, the ball going through the hands for Alofiana Khan-Pereira to score in the left corner.Warriors 10, Tigers 0 after 15 minutes8.16pmAfoa sin-binned as Warriors continue to control the contestBy Another line break for the Warriors now, this time on the left wing, and through second-rower Leka Halasima of all people, has the Tigers pinned to their line again. But again the visitors can’t hold onto the ball, an error from prop Tanner Stowers-Smith getting the Tigers off the hook.But then there’s a brain snap down the other end, as Tigers prop Bunty Afoa hits Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad very, very late with a tackle after Nicoll-Klokstad had thrown a pass. It’s a penalty to the Warriors and Afoa is sent to the sin bin.Warriors 6, Tigers 0 after 13 minutes8.10pmAnother Warriors break puts Tigers on the back footBy The Warriors are dominating early with Ali Leiataua making a clean break down the right sideline, before Te Maire Martin grubbers ahead on the last tackle to force a goal-line dropout.The Tigers go short but the Warriors get it back and threaten down the left, before Martin spills the ball and lets the pressure off.The hosts need to get their breath back here.Warriors 6, Tigers 0 after eight minutes8.05pmTRY: Fisher-Harris crashes through for game’s first pointsBy The Warriors are on the attack early in this game, their first set ending with a Te Maire Martin bomb that is brought down by Ali Leiataua, who gets an offload away as they try to keep it alive on the last.It doesn’t result in points this time but an Adam Doueihi error for the Tigers gives the Warriors possession again, and this time they cash in – a few quick play-the-balls getting their big men on a roll before James Fisher-Harris crashes over to the right of the goal posts.Adam Pompey converts, and it’s a dream start for the visitors.Warriors 6, Tigers 0 after five minutesJames Fisher-Harris scores for the Warriors.Getty Images8.02pmKick-off timeBy The teams take the field at Campbelltown Sports Stadium, the Warriors welcomed with a chorus of boos but also some cheers from a good section of the crowd decked out in blue, then man-of-the-moment Jarome Luai leads the Tigers out.The Warriors will kick this one off. Their recent record at this ground has not been good, but they are expected to get the chocolates tonight and bolster their hopes of a top-four finish.They get things started and Bunty Afoa charges back with the first hit-up of the game, before Terrell May is rocked by the Warriors defence after the second. It’s a good defensive set for the visitors, with Adam Doueihi forced to make a last-tackle clearing kick about 35 metres from his own tryline.Tigers 0, Warriors 0 after one minute7.49pmWatch: The last time these teams playedBy The Tigers stunned the Warriors in round 4, in Auckland. Can they earn another surprise win tonight?7.45pmThe NSW tactical masterclass few saw comingBy Dan WalshCameron Smith, as usual, was seeing around Origin corners.“This is the best NSW has looked all series,” Smith, sitting on high as he does at Suncorp Stadium, mused after 13 minutes of what proved one of the great Origin upsets.“The ball movement, and the speed at which they’re playing, they’re playing with a lot more freedom.”At this point, the Blues hadn’t scored a point. But already, they had fixed up the stagnant, sterile attack that had pervaded all series.7.40pmTigers v Warriors team listsBy Wests Tigers1. Jahream Bula 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Heamasi Makasini 4.
