Multiple outlets report that Wests Tigers centre Patrick Herbert is stopped just short of the try line during a match against the Parramatta Eels. In the described incident, Herbert carries the ball and is tackled centimetres short of scoring, preventing a try at the moment of contact. The accounts are consistent across publications, with Brisbane Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age all using the same framing: Herbert is denied by a tackle that leaves him short by a very small margin rather than being fully stopped earlier in the run. The reports focus on the closeness of the finish, suggesting the play is decided by a narrow measurement rather than a more substantial gap. No additional details are provided in the supplied summaries about the game’s final result, the time of the incident, or whether the tackle was reviewed or followed by any scoring in the next play. Overall, the central point of agreement is the same: Herbert’s try attempt is halted by a tackle that lands just centimetres before the try line against the Eels.
