LIVE: Tigers in control despite Bunker denial

The Dragons’ defence is under pressure early here from the Tigers after a solid run from veteran frontrower James Tamou.

They’re able to hold the Tigers off for now, but the signs aren’t good, says Phil Gould on commentary.

“It’s not often your veteran frontrower gets into the clear like that,” Gould says on Nine’s coverage.

“A couple of worrying signs for the Dragons middle defence that a frontrower can just pierce through like that.”

The Tigers have had three linebreaks in three straight sets.
