NRL: Aidan Sezer seemed lucky to avoid the sin bin after being placed on report for a hip drop against the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs have once again shown they are a new team this season, beating the Tigers 22-14 in a comeback win at Accor Stadium that saw tensions spill over.

Hooker Reed Mahoney was also lucky to avoid sanction, but the events left Benji Marshall’s side with only 11 players on the field to close out the contest.Earlier, the Tigers crossed for the first try of the evening, streaking away 80 metres down the right hand of the field before Brent Naden found winger Charlie Staines.

Going into the break the Tigers led 14-6 and held majority of the momentum until the Dogs went on a second-half rampage. The gun five-eighth found centre Bronson Xerri who scored virtually untouched after a controversial moment saw halfback Aidan Sezer avoid a sin bin. Everyone at Accor Stadium and those watching on TV had two hands raised assuming the Wests Tigers halfback would be marched for 10 minutes, but he was inexplicably allowed to stay on the field for a tackle that will be heavily scrutinised by the match review committee.

It’s too soon to say the empire has struck back, but they look so much better than what we’ve seen in recent years, with their attack humming in the second half after a sluggish first 40 minutes.
