Indigenous Wests Tigers duo Daine Laurie and James Roberts have shone in their beloved round to inspire their club to a 34-18 win over the St George Illawarra Dragons.
Proud Bundjalung and Yaegl man Laurie again reminded the rugby world of his supreme talent, scoring a try, setting up another, making a line-break and registering 196 metres.
Meanwhile, proud Bundjalung man Roberts marked his comeback from a four-week injury lay-off with a double, crossing for a try in both halves as he turned out for the Tigers on the right wing.
Roberts bagged the opening try of the Bankwest Stadium clash when he got on the end of a sweeping passage of passes in the 16th minute.

The Tigers will have one set to steal the result. On the final play, the Tigers are throwing the ball around with the Warriors defence shot to bits. The Tigers come back to the right as the siren goes. All Nofoaluma needs to do is draw the final defender but his pass is poor and goes into touch and the Warriors hang on for a critical victory.
