## Resource

The Wests Tigers are in freefall, getting shut out 0-0 against the Bulldogs in a game that exposed their scoring drought and mounting chaos. Jarome Luai’s departure, met with boos, has only deepened the team’s crisis as they’ve lost five straight and sit near the bottom. With key players injured, coach Benji Marshall must decide whether to gamble on youth — knowing Luai’s gone next season. Two Tigers were sin-binned, and Alex Twal narrowly avoided a second, while Bulldogs’ Sean O’Sullivan shone, keeping his team alive in the finals race. The Tigers’ next clash with Canberra could be their last chance to turn things around — or confirm their slide. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
