West Tigers stun Melbourne

07:26 am on 22 April 2009

West Tigers pulled off a stunning 16-6 upset over Melbourne in Monday night's National Rugby League match at Leichardt Oval.

Inspired by a pre-game pep talk from one of the game's immortals Arthur Beetson, West Tigers produced a great defensive display to hold out the Storm who had a significant wind behind them in the second half.

West Tigers sealed the match with a 70-metre try in the final minute after being brilliantly set up by Kiwi Benji Marshall.

Both teams are mid-table alongside the Warriors and South Sydney with three wins from six games.
