What's the "C" for? The first Parramatta team, called Cumberland, played in the first year of the NSWRL 1908. They dropped out after 1908 and formed their own district league, finally returning to the big time in 1947. Newcastle did the same thing, playing in 1908 then dropping out.

[Farmduck]

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

 

Speaking of Warriors, what happened to Sam Rapira?

Went to Huddersfield at the start of the year and broke his (insert essential body part here) in his first game I think.

[Farmduck]

10min: Moses break feeds Nofoaluma who scores in the corner. 4-2, kick to come

 

Moses converts. Wests lead 6-2

 

13min: Tedesco under the posts. Goes to bunker for possible obstruction. TRY

[Farmduck]

Try converted. Wests 12-2

[Farmduck]

29mi: penalty goal to Tigers. 14-2

[Farmduck]

36min: Eels cross and bunkerrhoids say No Obstruction. TRY to Toutai. 14-6 kick to come.

[Farmduck]

With 3 minutes to HT, Gordon converts and Eels trail 8-14

[Farmduck]

Luke Brooks didn't return after HT. Knee problem of some kind.

 

13 minutes gone 2nd half and there's plenty of back and forth but not much class finishing of sets.

[Farmduck]

63min: Moses penalty goal. Tigers stretch lead to 16-8

[Farmduck]

69min: Tigers get a penalty 8m out and take the kick, when they lead by 8?@?!?@?#?$

 

Moses kicks it 18-8 but why not go for the try and the 14pt lead?

[Farmduck]

73min: try to Sue but sent down to the bunker.

[Farmduck]

Bunkerattchiks say TRY. There was contact by Naiqama on Toutai but Toutai more or less had the ball so I guess it was legitimate to tackle him.

 

Moses misses. Tigers  24-8

[Farmduck]

Tim Grant crosses but probably didn't get it down. NO TRY

 

Moses kicks a field goal. 23-8

[Farmduck]

FT: Wests Magpies 23-8

[Farmduck]

8min: try to the Proctologist although I call that a droppped ball. Anyway, bunkeristas said TRY. Cows kicked a penalty after 3 minutes. Smith takes conversion and misses. Storm 4-2

 

BTW, G, the field looks very good. The words "flat" and "green" come to mind.

[Farmduck]

Koroibete "scores" - feet were very close to the sideline and grounding very close to the dead-in-goal.

 

12min: Koro TRY. 8-2 kick to come from sideline.

 

Smith converts  10-2

[Farmduck]

29min: Now is the Winterstein of our discontent turned glorious summer by a try in the corner.

 

Converted by Lowe. Cows trail 8-10

[Farmduck]

Try butchered by Tim G Las B.

 

Bunker says ........... ............. .......... ........ ..... they're zooming in to find a single blade of grass that's touched the ball before he dropped it.  TRY

 

Smith attempts conversion ...... ........ ........ ..... lining it up ....... ........  going a whole minute without talking to ref .....  kicks it.

 

Storm 16-8

[Farmduck]

HT: Storm 16-8

[Farmduck]

8 minutes left in a, thus far, scoreless second half.

[Irish Saint]

Just back 8 mins to go 16-8 Storm. Reading the thread don't tell me more dodgy bunker decisions will watch first half later.

[Farmduck]

Video refs are nearly always 50/50. I think I'd prefer if the onfield ref didn't have to give an opinion.

[Irish Saint]

Farmduck think G is still in Italy. I would prefer the NFL system were the coach can challenge the referee's decision the referee then looks at the video eevidence. The bunker is now reaching the stage of freeze frame on decisions absolutely ridiculous.

Storm 16-8
