The Wests Tigers faced a tough challenge in their Pre-season encounter against the St George Illawarra Dragons, and unfortunately, they fell short with a 34-18 defeat.
The match report from weststigers.com.au highlights the Dragons' dominance right from the start, as they quickly regained possession after an unfortunate kick-off that went out on the full.
The Tigers' defense struggled to contain the opposition as Moses Suli seized the opportunity and scored their second try, followed by a remarkable run from Mikaele Ravalawa that further extended the Dragons' lead.
Ben Hunt displayed his intelligence with a well-executed grubber kick, completing his first-half double.
Despite being down by four tries, the Tigers' Jahream Bula showcased his determination by single-handedly igniting his team's spirit with a sensational solo effort.
Bula, the 2023 Kelly-Barnes Medal winner, received the ball from Lachlan Galvin and mesmerized Tyrell Sloan with his impressive footwork.
