Round 21 Match Threads -*** Spoilers Guaranteed ***

[Graham]

Yes, it was a high scoring event Irish Saint

 

46-24 - highest score, highest total number of points and equal highest number of tries in a match in the round (12)

[Farmduck]

Titans v Eels is going to script. Neither side looks like defending very effectively and it's 6-4 to the Titans after 12 minutes.

[Graham]

Titans don't look confident. Eels might have the strike power, pace and weight to cause them problems.

[Farmduck]

How do you rate this pitch, in your hierarchy of NRL grounds? It's a pity the Titans don't have the success to match their stadium.

[Graham]

Sadly little atmosphere. Eels up two tries to one. 10-6

[Graham]

The pitch is as good as it should be and is probably better than its team

[Graham]

Eels have best of the first half statistics. If I was to put money on this from here on in I'd back Eels. I hope though that Titans get a grip and get something out of this game, after all I did tip them!

[Graham]

Great try James Roberts. Poor tackling from Eels but they were caught out back peddling after they lost the ball.

24-14 to Titans with 5 minutes to go.

[Graham]

Good job I'm not a betting man!!!

Great pitch by the way. Can't praise it enough! :-)

[Graham]

Eels having to take risks to try and rescue their season, but to no avail.

[Graham]

Full time

Gold Coast Titans 24 - 14 Paramatta Eels

[Farmduck]

Parra might be TS Eliot fans, finishing the season Not with a bang but a whimper.

[Graham]

Ah yes ... I remember him well ...

 

As for Eels he might have been referring to them when he wrote:

 

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time
 

Sort of - Eels, back to square one!
