After spending last season as interchange hooker, Waves Tigers' Sam Tobin is relishing the starting role in 2022 and it showed in a 22-10 win in the Battle of the Big Cats on Saturday.
Tobin (pictured above) scored two tries in a player of the round performance as Waves Tigers roared past Wests Panthers in the Round 6 contest at Salter Oval.
The affable 22-year-old country boy - who was raised on a farming property at Wallaville, 40km outside of Bundaberg - has played all of his career for the Tigers since starting in the under 10s 12 years ago.
In 2019, he had the double-disappointment of captaining Waves in their heartbreaking Under 18 grand final loss to Hervey Bay Seagulls, before playing in their 32-28 defeat at the hands of Past Brothers in the A grade decider later in the afternoon.
Then, after season 2020 was cancelled due to Covid-19, Tobin made a great start to 2021, including scoring two tries against the Panthers in Round 3 before his season was abruptly ended by a nasty ankle injury, and from there, Mitchell Trims took over at No. 9 and cemented himself in the position.
Last year, during which Tobin was forced to play second fiddle to Trims, the Tigers claimed the minor premiership, before bowing out with devastating losses to Brothers 20-18 in the major semi-final, and ultimate champions Seagulls 32-28 in the preliminary final.
But with Trims moving to Brothers this year, Tobin assumed the No. 9 jersey and he has shone in attack and defence week-in, week-out.
He was rewarded with selection in a youthful Bundaberg team for the 47th Battalion Memorial Carnival and he again handled himself with aplomb in the Bears’ big victory over Central Highlands and honourable two-point loss to Sunshine Coast Falcons.
Victory on Saturday was sweet after they were beaten by the Panthers 18-14 in the season opener on March 25. Their only other loss had been to Brothers last Saturday week when they were without seven of their stars – many of whom were attending Magic Round – but they led 6-0 at the break before going down 34-12.
Tobin set the standard on Saturday, scoring the first try and also being integrally involved in their second as they established a 12-4 lead by oranges.
The two sides continued to stage a titanic battle in the second stanza but the sin-binning of Tigers' Sailusi Manufekai in the 57th minute paved the way for Panthers captain and hooker Tyson Douglas to slice through the defence a minute later for a try, which was converted by Chris Robinson to get them to within two points.
But the Tigers regained control with Tobin hitting back in the 72nd minute with a signature try, before Lachlan Dullaway again added the extras to re-establish an eight-point buffer.
However, electrifying Fijian winger Ponipate Wailevu delivered the knock-out blow, receiving the ball on their own line from the ensuing kick restart, breaking the first line of defence before racing away on a 100m sprint to the line, eluding the cover defence and chasers, and cheekily first-pumping in the air before diving over.
The win moved Waves back into second place on the ladder with eight points, behind the unbeaten Brothers (11), who picked up the two points courtesy of a forfeit by the Seagulls, whose horror season slumped to a new low.
The Magpies stay in third position on seven points despite their 42-30 defeat by back-to-back wooden spooners Wallaroos in Maryborough, with Roos moving to six points and fourth place with their third straight win after having started the new year with a hat-trick of losses.
The Panthers have four points to their credit, while it remains to be seen if the fallen champions Hervey Bay can recover.
While Tobin - whose younger sister Ruby is the leading points scorer for the untouchable Gin Gin Hawkettes who have not lost a game in the Northern Districts Women’s League Tag since Round 1 of 2021 - was the BRL player of the round, the Tigers had many other heroes, including their club award recipients, teenage rising superstar Tumeli Naco, who filled Cody Maughan’s huge shoes at fullback, Wailevu, South African international front rower Josh Hill, and quiet achiever goal-kicking centre Lachlan Dullaway.
Coach Antonio Kaufusi said they had made it hard for themselves especially in the first half, but he said he was proud of the way they stuck to their guns and “kept turning up for each other”.
Kaufusi and inspirational captain and front rower Reece Maughan are the only survivors from their last premiership of 2018 when they defeated Wallaroos 23-20 for the crown, but Tobin made his A grade debut that year before also missing the business end of the season after requiring shoulder surgery.
Tobin believes they can go all the way again.
“It was good to get one back over them (Wests) after losing to them in the first round – they are a good team – but the team to beat has got to be Brothers ... they are on top of the table and they deserve to be there, but we can beat anyone,” he said.
