Match Notes
The official penalty count for this match is 8-4 to Wests Tigers, whereas I have it as 7-4. Both agree that it was 3-all at half time, with my second half penalty count being 4-1, while the official has 5-1. The closest explanation I can come up with is that the official count counts the accidental offside against the Dragons in the 43rd minute as a penalty to the Wests Tigers, whereas it only resulted in a scrum.
Wests Tigers penalties - 8', 20', 37', 48', 50', 55', 62'.
Dragons penalties - 5', 14', 22', 60'.
