2016 NRL Match Thread - Round 20

[Vichyssoise]

The Warriors completion rate in this second half is atrocious.

I know nothing about visual art or design. I can't understand why a team like the Titans with such an identifiable colour combo plays in these generic-looking plain blue and white jumpers. It seems to defy the basic concept of brand identification.

[Farmduck]

The Hurrellcane crosses after 5 minutes and after copping a knock in the genitalia.

 

Tyrone Roberts-Roberts missed the conversion. Titans 4-0

[Farmduck]

Commentator is very mixed up with the Eels wingers, both BFs - Bureta Faraimo and Bevan French. They are wearing similar jumpers but that's where the similarity stops.

 

Anyhoo, Faraimo crosses but loses the ball.

[Farmduck]

12min: try to Anthony Don from a Nene McDonald cross kick. Is Don....... is good!

Titans 8-0

 

For the benefit of non-OZ forumers:

 

[Farmduck]

18min: Chris McQueen try. 12-0 kick to come

 

Tyrone Roberts hands kicking duties to Ash Taylor who converts. 14-0

[Farmduck]

33min: Nathan Friend pulls a hammy after only being out there for 5 minutes

[Farmduck]

36min: Kenny Edwards try. Eels trail 14-4 with a kick to come

 

Gordon hits the post. 14-4

[Farmduck]

44min: Titans get a penalty 10m dead in front. Ash Taylor nails it. 16-4

[Farmduck]

I don't think either side has completed a set in the last 10 minutes.

[Farmduck]

59min: Bevan French gets 10th try in 7 games.

 

Gordon's kicking has deserted him. He couldn't kick a dog. Titans lead 16-8

[Farmduck]

65min: try to Nene McDonald. Sent down to bunker for no good reason. TRY. 20-8 with a kick to come.

[Farmduck]

Taylor lands conversion. Coast lead 22-8 with 12 minutes left.

[Farmduck]

70min: Chris McQueen gets his 2nd try. Ash Taylor lands it off the upright.  28-8

[Farmduck]

74min: Jeff Robson try under the posts. Gordon kicks one. Eels trail 14-28 with 5 to go.
