Especially that bloke who does shoeies in front of the coaches box - snuck on camera just before fulltime. Good luck to whoever sorts that out. Still to be determined - how many bonus points each team finished with.

"It's been exciting tonight - good signs for the Warriors. "I think it's a huge thing for us … Brandon Wakeham nails the conversion and the Tigers are on the board. "He's really good … We'll be back tomorrow night, when the Knights take on the Sharks, and the Rabbitohs play the Sea Eagles. Thanks for joining us for the first night of the NRL Pre-Season Challenge.
Warriors run in nine tries as they dish out a hiding to Wests Tigers in Pre-season Challenge match.
New recruits Te Maire Martin and Luke Metcalf combined well in the halves to help the Warriors to a 14-0 lead before Marcelo Montoya crossed for his third try ...
Wests Tigers are back in action next Sunday against the Raiders at Belmore Sports Ground as part of a double-header in Sydney. We lost momentum in the first half, there was a period we came back into it but fell away at the end... I had Webby (Andrew Webster) in under 20s at Tigers and he's still the same, a really good guy. He's really family-orientated and has got a good balance with his assistant crew. We're a long way off where we want to be but it's in a step in the right direction. Luke Metcalf steered the ship around and I thought he did really well.
A young Wests Tigers team has suffered 48-12 loss to the New Zealand Warriors in the first week of the NRL Pre-Season Challenge.

Wing Marcelo Montoya grabbed a hat trick, with centre Viliami Vailea getting a brace, while new recruits Luke Metcalf and Jackson Ford were also among the ...
That gave the Warriors impetus and they went further ahead minutes later through Ford. Highly rated Tigers’ back rower Fonua Poole was held up over the line just before the break, as the home side hung tough with a series of defensive sets in their own 22. The Tigers had some moments – forcing a line drop out and going close to another – but the Warriors had more momentum, with Vailea a constant menace, making yards at will. Following a Vailea incursion on the right, the Warriors spread the ball to the other flank, with Montoya finishing well after a series of second man plays. It was an experimental Warriors team – with the focus on the second trial with Melbourne on February 26 – but a chance for others to push their case. The Warriors have made a positive start to their 2023 campaign, with a comprehensive 48-12 victory over the West Tigers in their first pre-season trial on Thursday night.

"We played a pretty young team so we can't expect much from that. Martin dished two try assists and three line assists with Metcalf breaking the line three times to go with his solo-effort try.
