Moses parts way for FG
MITCHELL Moses has broken the hearts of Wests Tigers fans in his first game against his former NRL club, helping to set up Corey Norman’s match-winning Eels field goal.
Two weeks after kicking a golden-point winner against Canterbury, Moses looked to step up again in the 77th minute but he instead found halves partner Norman to his left, whose 25m, low-trajectory shot just flew over the crossbar to give the Eels their second one- point win in as many matches.
Tigers No.7 Luke Brooks, who still lives with Moses and was put on report late for tripping, missed a chance to send the game to overtime for the healthy crowd of 30,091, but his shot sailed wide.
The Eels’ third straight win consolidates their spot in the top eight, while the Tigers suffered their sixth loss in seven games and remain second-last on the table.
An upset was on the cards at ANZ Stadium when Tuimoala Lolohea kicked two penalty goals in the space of three minutes to take a two-point lead soon after halftime.
