2016 NRL Match Thread - Round 24

[Graham]

Leilua has beautiful soft hands, but is sat on the bench.

[Graham]

Roosters holding the line... Just.

[Graham]

Tupou over and try given, no bunker boy despite calls for obstruction on would be tackler.

[Graham]

That was against the run of play.

Makes it 18-6

Dugan has hurt the jaw he hurt before, perhaps he can use his spare one.

The conversion attempt just us missed... the corner flag!

[Farmduck]

Well that's it for 2016, Dragons.

[Farmduck]

Tupou over and try given, no bunker boy despite calls for obstruction on would be tackler.

I think that was Roby's first ever try call in NRL.

[Graham]

They work us keyboard warriors hard these Roosters!

No sooner have I typed about a conversion kick than they go and score again, Watson to Blake Ferguson on a break and try.

24-6 Roosters

Well so much for Dragons come back, at least for now.

[Farmduck]

Cooks got to 30-6 in the blink of an eye

[Graham]

Oh dear

Roosters cutting loose and Dragons get punished again.

28-6 now after Tupou's second try of the game.

Apparently this game could now get entertaining according to Andrew Johns.

Good conversion

30-6 Roosters

[Graham]

Ah yes the Cooks.

They make a meal of everything.

[Graham]

Criticism of player development being aired.

Wish it was as bad as this in the UK

[Graham]

One precious hour has gone whistling by.

[Graham]

Guerra takes his turn to score a try

[Graham]

The floodgates have opened.

[Graham]

36-8

[Graham]

If the last 18 minutes are anything like the next 18 minutes the score could be anything ... Says the incisive, analytical Mr Johns.

[Graham]

Leilua on.

[Farmduck]

Criticism of player development being aired.

Wish it was as bad as this in the UK

In relation to what? The Dragqueens? I'm listening to the other side.

[Graham]

Luciano Leilua is the only Liciano in the NR L

Great achievement that.

[Graham]

In relation to what? The Dragqueens? I'm listening to the other side.

In relation to the NRL and how player development is in the hands of businessmen in suits rather than people who have played, like some of our glorious commentators.

[Farmduck]

RTS is the only Roger.

[Graham]

Connor Watson has been praised to the heavens, so on cue he loses the ball in the tackle.

[Farmduck]

In relation to the NRL and how player development is in the hands of businessmen in suits rather than people who have played, like some of our glorious commentators.

Considering some of the guys who've debuted this year those businessman seem to be doing a pretty good job.

[Graham]

Daniel Tupou's middle name is Giraffe.

Apparently though he's not the only...

[Graham]

10 minutes left and the scoring prediction is coming true, very accurately as the score IS anything.
