2016 NRL Match Thread - Round 20

[Futtocks]

A rough night for the Dogs! All those repeat sets just took their power away. . 

[Graham]

Thanks for the match reports and updates. Being away from things makes me appreciate the thread. There's a flavour and pattern of the game not just the score. Thanks again.

[Vichyssoise]

Broncos will probably win this.

 

For the poor sods like me who will suffer through the C9 broadcast, here's a bingo card...

You may blame a boring friday afternoon for that.

 

[Vichyssoise]

Will Hardaker get some playing time this week?

[Vichyssoise]

6-0 Panthers after 9mn. 98 meter try from Blake after he'd blown a golden opportunity a couple of sets before.

 

And the ref refers it to the bunker although he'd been happy with everything in the leadup (namely the potential knock on)

[Farmduck]

9min: Waqa Blake try - length of field after possible knock-on, a couple of minutes after he blew another try chance at the other end.

 

Crowd has commenced singing the Qld National Anthem:

 

Bull-sh#$

Bull-sh#@

 

Panthers 6-0

[Farmduck]

Oates makes a meal of the high kick.

[Vichyssoise]

And the Panthers score.

[Vichyssoise]

10-0 kick to come

[Vichyssoise]

12-0 after 15 min

Panthers with a great start.

[Farmduck]

13min: Leilani Latu try. Grounded by Josh McGuire, it looked like. Cleary converts 12-0

 

If McGuire hadn't had his hand on the ball I think Latu would have dropped it.

[Vichyssoise]

What's wrong with Johns? He can't say properly the name of Watene-Zelezniak. I've noticed that plenty of times before too.

[Farmduck]

It's a mixture of genetic- and alcohol-related mental retardation exacerbated by coming from Newcastle.

[Vichyssoise]

You're on fire tonight.

 

Broncos playing badly so far. A lot of dropped balls.

Grub McGuire penalized for a cheap shot on Mansour.

[Farmduck]

Looks like Hardaker will get an early start this week.

[Farmduck]

You're on fire tonight.

 

I considered saying it was exacerbated by his parents coming from Warrington but I guess "genetic" covers that.

 

BTW, where are you from Vichy?

[Futtocks]

Will Hardaker get some playing time this week?

He's on, with Blake having to go off for a concussion check.

[Farmduck]

Assistant ref also had to be interchanged with a leg injury.

[Vichyssoise]

I considered saying it was exacerbated by his parents coming from Warrington but I guess "genetic" covers that.

 

BTW, where are you from Vichy?

 

French living in Japan... and Cronulla tragic since the Super League days.

Can't say it's always easy... win wise.

[Vichyssoise]

Assistant ref also had to be interchanged with a leg injury.

 

Next up in line, Lockyer. That should help the Broncos.

[Farmduck]

I like the new blue ref shirts

 

Ben Hunt short line dropout goes out on the full

[Vichyssoise]

Hunt's drop out doesn't go the 10 meters. Penrith to take the 2.

14-0 Penrith.
