Great to see Cam Henderson back after a lengthy lay off. December 10th 2023 was his last game for Tigers

Five tries for Tigers in the first half. All converted. A functioning attack as well with offloads and everything. We looked like Saints for the last try, incredible improvement on last season.

Perese went off early with Woodward on at 13. Sharks have obviously talked about it at halftime because the Sharks 12 sought him out on a carry there and got put firmly into reverse.

Reffell has also been a menace all game. Ilione has joined him in the backrow and has picked up his first turnover penalty as well.
