2016 NRL Match Thread Round 14

[Graham]

Scrappy play

Raiders over

Austin collects ball and touches down.

Bunker boy very sllloooooooowwwwww on this one.

Surely it's OK

[Graham]

Bunker sounding decisive on mike, but not in action.

[Graham]

TRY given

24-12 Broncos.

If Raiders score next it could go either way. They have momentum.

[Graham]

Parker back on to steady the ship.

[Graham]

11 minutes left.

[Graham]

7 minutes left.

Broncos look better set now. Tackling hard.

[Graham]

Kurt Baptiste gets his second try of the night after Bunker Boy deliberated.

26-18 Broncos.

2 and a half minutes.

ASny surprises left in this game?

[Graham]

Full Time:

 

Brisbane Broncos 26 - 18 Canberra Raiders

[Graham]

Not the best of games.

 

Broncos not brilliant but pulled themselves together enough to beat a misfiring Raiders side whose defence let them down... that and a rash of errors.

[Irish Saint]

Thank you for the updates. Will watch later. Have SKY Q being installed on Saturday will probably miss recording a couple of games.

 

As for expansion the basic reason that the Foot Show gave is that the teams in NSW and Queensland should get their house in order first before any talk of expansion. I presume they mean the clubs "owned " by NRL.

 

Best bit of the show was James Maloney changing his tip from Panthers to Sea Eagles as he had a received a phone call. I shouldn't laugh but I did. Nice he won the girl in the Dragons shirt $5,000

Friday Game: Wests Tigers vs South Sydney Rabbitohs
 
Robbie Farah will come off the bench despite being named at hooker against South Sydney.
The Rabbitohs, meantime, will drop star playmaker Luke Keary and shuffle the line-up in an effort to find their mojo.

[Allora]

Hope the Tigers can fire and win this one.

[Graham]

I reckon James Tedesco will score a try today

[Graham]

Most of us have tipped a Bunnies win but it could go either way.

Hope it isn't error laden like yesterday's game.

[Irish Saint]

Morning all, Melbourne Storm top to work today

 

Gone for Wests Tigers in this one.

[Allora]

I reckon James Tedesco will score a try today

 

I think he will too

[Graham]

[Graham]

Morning all.

[Graham]

5 minutes to kick off.

TV talk is mainly about Farrah and Jason Taylor's decision and if Farrah is happy and is Jason Taylor right or wrong.

 

As for Souths it's been pointed out they are playing the same way they were when they were a bigger heavier team, but now they are lighter their tactics aren't working.

[Graham]

Tigers in Black Kit here

Addo-Carr being featured. Talk is he's confident ie not shy!

 

Bunnies in the regular kit.

Keary out injured - mild ankle strain.

Short turn round for them

[Graham]

Andrew, unbutton your jacket - you look like a stuffed cushion.

[Graham]

Black kit and sky blue socks.

Tigers are being tipped by the studio pundits - Gus etc

 

Ray Warren doing match commentary.

[Graham]

Talking over, the teams are out there ready for the off.

 

Whistle to chops

 

Yes...

 

We are underway..

 

Tigers or Souths????

 

Well we'll know in 80 minutes of play's time.

 

Tigers beat them in R9 but otherwise don't have a good record against Souths
