Tuesday night, Sheffield Steeldogs charged into town and left with a hard fought, and at times, niggly victory. Things flared up quite early with Sheffields Andre Payette throwing his considerable weight around, dishing out late checks, dragging his stick through players when the whistle had gone, pushing people around, etc, etc.
Then things came to a head when Tigers captain - Tom Watkins unleashed on Dogs Kriss Grundmanis , and the pair went toe-to-toe for a good couple of minutes.
To be fair we never looked like we were going to win and whilst people have made comment about the dogs dirty tactics, Tigers did have a fair number of power plays thanks to said tactics, but could not capitalise on them,the dogs didn't get punished on the score sheet so just carried on, and whilst people have also made comment about Payette's playing style, would these same people make so much noise of he wore a tigers jersey, after all he was doing his job and we couldn't provide an answer to him.
