2016 NRL Match Thread - Round 21 - Retro Round

[Farmduck]

11: Panthers 2-0

[Farmduck]

I'm backing the Warriors here.

I was 50/50 but I can't back the Warriors anymore unless they're playing Newcastle.

[Vichyssoise]

Fusitua scores off a Luke kick after 14 minutes.

Conversion missed.

4 - 2 Warriors

[Vichyssoise]

No look pass goes into touch... Next time, you'll have a look, Bodene.

 

Speaking of Warriors, what happened to Sam Rapira?

[Vichyssoise]

35th Maumalo scores an easy one in the corner off a Johnson pass. Converted

 

Warriors 10 - Penrith 2

[Vichyssoise]

Mansour with an Origin worthy performance so far.

[Vichyssoise]

10 - 2 Warriors at halftime. Penrith look clumsy in attack but they'll be happy to be only 8 behind at the break.

Warriors (with the wind in their back I believe) had plenty of opportunities (19 tackles in the opp 20) but they've scored only 2 tries.

It's still anyone's ballgame.

Mixed impression froom the Warriors so far.

[Vichyssoise]

Peachey scores after 45 for Penrith.

10 - 8 Warriors.

Question mark on the Cleary pass in the lead up for mine.

[Vichyssoise]

Fusitua scores in the corner off a Lolohea pass. Bunker reviews it. Confirmed. Johnson misses the conversion.

Warriors 14 - 8 after 52 minutes.

[Vichyssoise]

Cartwright with a brain snap at the end of Penrith's repeated sets. A minute later Warriors force an umptenth drop out. Will they score?

[Vichyssoise]

They do. Luke kicks a penalty goal from right in front. 16 - 8 to the Warriors after 61 minutes.

 

And that's all for me today.

Farmduck, wherever you are, over to you.

[Irish Saint]

Luke penalty 16-8 Warriors morning all

[Irish Saint]

Great 40 yards run from Mansour 16-12 Cleary misses conversion. 14 mins left.

[Irish Saint]

Great attack from Warriors better defence from Panthers Kata held up on last tackle.

[Irish Saint]

40-20 from Wallace .Mansour over 16-16 kick to come

[Irish Saint]

Kick missed 16-16 6mins left

[Blotto]

_{Cleary missing a conversion again is it due to nerves? Hope the Pussies don't regret it  16-16}

[Irish Saint]

Johnson misses field goal attempt. Golden point time

[Blotto]

It favours the Warriors I feel Cleary has been a bit below par today, maybe confused as it used to be his home ground!

[Irish Saint]

Warriors blow opportunity five meters out by not getting the ball back to Johnson

[Irish Saint]

Half time in golden point. Warriors to rreceive 2nd half

[Blotto]

_{It could swing to the Pussies if the Warriors don't do it from receiving the ko}

[Irish Saint]

Heaves have opened coming down in sheets

[Blotto]

Johnson over 20-16 win for Warriors!

[Irish Saint]

Johnson looses ball another opportunity lost. Mansour then stripped of ball. Another Johnson effort blocked. Johnson haven't lost his kicking boots then at last shows a bit of wonderful footwork on a mazy run over the line. Warriors win 20-16.

Have to go out perhaps back for last half hour of Cowboys\ Storm
