The Wests Tigers grabbed a four-way share of the lead in Australia's National Rugby League (NRL) with a pulsating 21-18 win over the Parramatta Eels in Sydney on Monday.

The Tigers were inspired by their 19-year-old scrum-half prodigy Luke Brooks, who scored a runaway intercept try and landed a crucial late drop goal before more than 50,000 fans at Sydney's Olympic Stadium.
