What a win! Unbelievable stuff

The effort levels off the scale - Vanes, Whitcombe, Heyes, Hurd, FTT, Wells, Martin, Carter take a bow.

And everyone else for that matter

There needs to be a look at how that second ball ended up on the pitch just as we had control at a point that would have killed the game off. Seemed to be a State ball boy.
I used to sit near a stalker and we want him back "kick for the corner!!!!"

I've been watching Tigers for 20 years and have never seen a second ball on the pitch during play. Ever. What was going on there?? Doesn't sound good from the radio coverage.

I’d love to know who stamped on Hanro (if as he claimed it was a stamp) too at that scrum - he was not happy

Regardless of that win, that second ball on the pitch needs investigating. In my opinion, that looked like no accident.
