The onslaught continued in the third quarter when Kongorong added another six goals and led by 61 points with one quarter to play.
The Hawks then kicked four goals to the Tigers’ one in the final quarter as the away side claimed an emphatic 85-point win.
Jarrod Ryan put in a strong performance with four majors for the game.
