Wallop: Noosa Tigers put in a huge winning performance against Surfers Paradise.
The Noosa Tigers’ premiership credentials have received a giant shot in the arm with a 103 point walloping of Surfers Paradise at Weyba Road yesterday.
The Tigers’ James Brain and Tim Storrer both nearly single-handedly outpointed the Demons kicking seven and six goals respectively in the 21.20 (146) to 6.7 (43) drubbing.
The home side had the game firmly in hand at quarter time after opening up a 6.8 (44) to 0.2 (2) lead and never allowed their opposition into the game.
Tigers coach Wayne Fletcher called the big win exactly what his side needed as they cemented their spot in the top four.
“They had quite a few young blokes in their team, they played with a lot of enthusiasm, they were more than competitive,” he said. Our experience and our stronger bodies certainly won out. I was really pleased with the way we finished off in the last quarter.”
It wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Tigers with the side missing several shots on goal which were very much in range, however they didn’t need to be anywhere near their best as they sailed to victory.
