Wests Tigers have produced one of the upsets of the NRL season, with Mitchell Moses leading the joint venture to a memorable 26-14 win over North Queensland at Leichhardt Oval.Minus halfback Luke Brooks on Sunday against a Cowboys side boosted by the return of superstar Johnathan Thurston from a hamstring injury, the Tigers were deserved four-tries-to-two winners.Sauaso Sue crashed over seven minutes from fulltime to seemingly give the Tigers the win before Ethan Lowe hit back for the visitors.James Tedesco then scored one of the individual tries of the season, beating at least six defenders on his way to the line in the final minute to push the Tigers into the top eight for the first time since early in the season.The loss tips premiers the Cowboys out of the top four with four rounds to play until the finals.Thurston was a late inclusion for the round-22 clash and while he tried hard to spark his side, he was well below his usual sparkling form.In comparision, Moses led the Tigers brilliantly in attack and was stoic in defence as the Robbie Farah-less Wests claimed their best win of the season to stay in finals contention.The home side opened the scoring in the sixth minute when Kevin Naiqama pounced on a Moses kick that was deflected off Cowboys fullback Lachlan Coote.A 19th-minute Moses penalty goal put the Tigers further ahead before the Cowboys opened their account as Thurston grubbered behind Wests defensive line for Kane Linnett.David Nofoaluma put the Tigers ahead again in the 31st minute when he forced his way through three Cowboys defenders.Another Moses penalty goal two minutes from the break gave the home side a six-point buffer at halftime.For most of the bruising second half, the only points were from penalty goals through Moses in the 62nd minute and Thurston in the 67th minute.But then the Tigers forced a late dropout and after the visitors went short with the restart, giving the home side great field position, Sue crashed over.Lowe kept the Cowboys in the hunt before Tedesco sealed the win.North Queensland are now 1-9 at Leichhardt.The Cowboys have won three from 10 away from home this year.Thurston is winless from five games at the suburban venue and 0-12 at Sydney venues against the Tigers.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- As the Olympic whirlwind sweeps through Rio and brings with it disapproval of everything from shoddy construction to water pollution, residents are drawing a line in the sand. Nobody better attack their favorite snack.They are called Biscoito Globo, and theyre more than just a snack in Rio. They are a symbol of local pride.The starchy, puffy treats made with coconut oil, milk, water and a pinch of salt and sugar are manufactured locally and sold in paper bags by street vendors along the coast and in stores throughout Rio de Janeiro. Babies munch on them from their strollers as if they were cereal. Beach-goers nosh on them while tanning.When a New York Times story described the crunchy rings as flavorless and air turned into a doughnut-shaped wafer, locals got up in arms, taking to social media to criticize Americas fast-food culture. Brazilians began sharing photos of the puffed rings. A popular one showed bags on the sand, next to a drink or sunglasses.TV reporters sought out Olympic tourists who did Globo rings and were willing to say so on camera. Newspaper columnists jokingly likened the outrage to a diplomatic quarrel.How many generations of locals have grown up loving that snack? For many, including me, its impossible to go to the beach and not have the cookie. Its so crunchy and light, said Ana Beatriz Manier, whos writing a book about the history of the Globo cracker, which dates back to 1955. Shhe plans to include the Olympic kerfuffle.ddddddddddddTo hear someone speaking badly of a product that is part of the childhood of every Rio resident, of that beautiful beach scenery that makes us proud, it causes outrage, she said.On Facebook, Brazilian columnist Mentor Neto tried to explain the secret to the rings. Its not something for beginners, he said, echoing a phrase made popular by The Girl from Ipanema composer Tom Jobim: Brazil is not for beginners.It must be felt on the palate and throat and not the taste buds ... it should be felt in the soul, Neto said.If we were a serious country, we would interrupt the Olympics today. We would cross our arms and return to work only after Obama apologizes, he joked.Cariocas, as Rio residents are known, take the slights of foreigners personally. When U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo irked Brazilians by sending alarmist tweets about the Zika virus, she was greeted with chants of Zika! Zika! every time she touched the ball. Comments about why the coffee cups and mens swimsuits are both so small in Brazil have also annoyed locals.As for the Globo ring? Theres a whole culture around them in Brazil, said Jeanine Pires, a former president of the Brazilian Tourism Board. They are the face of Rio.---Adriana Gomez Licon is on Twitter http://twitter.com/agomezlicon ' ' '
