Affiliate wrap: Fantastic Francis helps Tweed raise bat against defending premiers
A quick-fire second half double to Titans flyer Tony Francis helped Tweed to a dominant 50-12 thrashing of the Brisbane Tigers at Piggabeen Sports Complex on Saturday night.
Joining fellow winger Brayden McGrady in amassing an incredible seven-try haul between the duo, Francis' four-pointers in the 40th and 60th minutes was part of a big night out for the pending NRL debutant; also making 222 running metres, three line breaks, five tackle busts and three offloads in the solid showing.
