2016 NRL Match Thread Round 12

[Farmduck]

Grass might look a bit rough tonight. Last night was the coldest NSW night for 23 years. It got down to -2.1° at Richmond, about 20km from here.

 

It was so cold I went to bed before halftime in the Featherweights game. They were behind 19-0 at the time so I guess I missed the big heroic second-half comeback.

[Graham]

Raiders played well for about 20 minutes of the game which weirdly proved enough.

[Graham]

Vossy is at the mike for this one.

[Graham]

Says Michael Gordon may be on move to Roosters this week.

[Graham]

Pitch looks good considering your comment about previous freezing conditions. It passes my test.

[Graham]

Beau Scott easy try after a great Semi run. Cross field hands were good there.

For Scott it was man versus boys at the end.

[Graham]

Takarangi struggling with an ankle injury.

[Graham]

6 - 0 Eels.

[Graham]

Semi counting his famiky jewels after stopping Uate in his tracks.

[Graham]

Semi over but was it a try. Very close.......

Bunker boy he say Y E S

[Graham]

Couple of millimetre decisions in that one... but right decision for me.

10 - 0 Eels

[Graham]

Eels making a lot of ground in their flashy X Blades kit.

[Graham]

Vossy says bitterly cold in Newcastle. Coldest in 17 years in Sydney.

Lovely warm Bank Holiday here mmmmmm

[Graham]

Dead ball obviously.

Corey Norman weaving some magic there... if you can weave such stuff.

[Graham]

Foran got poorly shoulder.

[Graham]

Knights try centre Mata'utia

[Graham]

10-4 Eels

Crowd must be soft as they are wearing jackets, scarves and gloves.

[Farmduck]

These were taken in the Hunter Valley this morning

 

 

 

[Graham]

Now a Pauli in for a try.

Eels being punished for some poor defence agains a pacy Knights attack.

[Graham]

Am in a deck chair here with an ice cool drink.

[Graham]

10 - 8 Eels half an hour gone.

[Graham]

Missed a Knights touch there.

[Graham]

Yes Vossy I am expecting the unexpected

[Graham]

Knights had a lot of ball in last quarter of an hour.

[Graham]

Foran in pain. It's his shoulder.

That's probably it for him here.
