2007 Round 25 vs Wests Tigers:

A fan makes a good point with her banner. John Morris crosses for the Tigers opening try. Luke Walsh is pushed backwards by tough Wests defence. Brett Hodgson makes a run, but Steve Simpson and Brad Tighe have it covered. Benji Marshall crosses for a four pointer. Wests defence is desperate to grab ahold of Luke Walsh. James McManus is tackled. Chris Bailey puts the foot down. Danny Buderus loses the ball in a Paul Whatuira tackle. Zeb Taia tries to push off a Tiger. Michael Young runs it forward. Benji Marshall attempts a field goal, but it doesn't cut the field goal mustard. Danny Buderus makes another great run, late in the match. Chris Heighington is tackled by Cory Paterson and supervised by Michael Young. Danny Buderus having a great game to finish 2007. Cooper Vuna races away to tie things up ... ... and the Knights go off ... ... a victory is in sights! Kurt Gidley kicks for goal after fulltime ... ... and to Steve Simpson's delight, slots the penalty to win the match!!! Man of the moment Cooper Vuna soaks up the win. Tim Sheens is not enjoying it on the sideline. Brian Smith has a good ol' clap ... ... and gives the thumbs up! Robbie Farah is disappointed at missing the finals. Brett Hodgson is distraught at the loss. Wests ... ... cut a disconsolate bunch ... ... if that makes sense ... ... (probably not).
