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.
