2016 NRL Match Thread Round 14

Do you think me watching has helped the Panthers?

We'll see whether Vossy gives you a mention in the after-game show, with guest, Luke Lewis.

[Graham]

Moylan drop goal sealed it?

[Graham]

Panthers come back from 20 point deficit.

Manly 5 th loss in a row.

Has it been a good game?

As the man says it has been a stirring comeback.

Sea Eagles 24 - 31 Panthers.

No after match coverage as they've gone straight to the news.

[Farmduck]

I can't believe how good those betting shop handicappers are. Penrith win by 7 and the TAB had the margin at 6.5pts.

I hope they use that good photo of me taken in 1973

[Graham]

I saw that Brett Stewart played in a recent game (last week?) and his Supercoach score was exactly 0 ZERO! Made about three runs and made errors that scrubbed out those gew meagre points.

I think one of my players did that earlier in the season. He made 2 errors then got concussed in the first 10 minutes and didn't come back.

       V     

 

 

St George Illawarra Dragons v Canterbury Bulldogs

ANZ Stadium, 4pm (AEST) Monday

 

Dragons: 1 Jason Nightingale 2 Kalifa Faifai Loa 3 Euan Aitken 4 Timoteo Lafai 5 Kurt Mann 6 Gareth Widdop 7 Benji Marshall 8 Leeson Ah Mau 9 Mitch Rein 10 Russell Packer 11 Tyson Frizell 12 Joel Thompson 13 Michael Cooper.

Interchange: 14 Sam Kasiano 15 Adam Elliott 16 Tim Browne 17 Craig Garvey

[Farmduck]

Jack de Belin returns from injury and replaces Dunamis Lui on the bench.

 

T Rex returns to first grade, replacing Adam Elliott on the Doggies bench.

[Farmduck]

St George players run out with kids in Canterbury jumpers. Maybe they're holding them hostage.

[Farmduck]

10min: Kurt Mann scores for St George. Steve "Blocker" Roach in commentary today, has been away from commentary so long he's still calling them "Saints." Steve got his nickname because his teammates reckoned he had the IQ of a blocker wood.

 

Widdop converts. 6-0

[Farmduck]

14min: Perrett in for Dogs. Kick from sideline to come.

 

Holland misses goal. Dragons lead 6-4

[Farmduck]

28min: Lichaa try. Bunker said: insufficient evidence to overrule onfield ref. I wouldn't have given it.

 

Holland converts. Dogs 10-6

[Farmduck]

29min: Mbye scores on second play from the restart after a long run by Rona.

 

Holland converts from wide out.  16-6

[Farmduck]

36min: try to legendary Welsh international Tyson Frizell. Widdop converts. Saints 12-16

[Farmduck]

HT: Doggies 16-12

 

Benji has upped his involvement today but maybe he shouldn't have. I reckon he knocked $50K off his price in that first half with 2 classic pieces of uber flash idiocy handing possession to the K9s.

[Graham]

Morning

Footy show snippets on at moment.

[Farmduck]

good game thus far. Dragons actually attacking a lot, by their standards.

[Graham]

Second half coverage is on.

5 past 8 in the morning here.

[Graham]

Kicked off.

[Farmduck]

48min: Kurt Mann gets his 2nd. No bunker. 16-16

[Graham]

Vossy is on commentary.

Dogs handling errors.

Dragons try for Kurt Mann.

Thought they'd check it with bunker but no ref just gave it.

Great put down.

I assume he was onside.

[Graham]

Dogs looking big but tired.

Dragons looking the more lively.

[Graham]

Foot on the line... nearly a Mann hat trick. Not this time.

[Farmduck]

It wouldn't be a Doggies game without a Curtis Rona try.
