NRL 2019 - Round 13 - Match Thread

[Graham]

Summary of that one that Tigers' fans will want to forget:

[Graham]

Saturday 

R13 games with UK starting times...

Altogether now

Early one mo-orning just as the sun was ri-ising...

Actually sunrise is much earlier than 6:00am - sunrise here atm is 4:37am

[DavidM]

Couple of lower than intense games again around origin time . Good to see a tiny bit of an old school dust up though

Yes, David.

Raiders were the pick of the fourfor me.

Knights deserved to beat a rattled and misfiring Souths team.

Looks like Christian Welch has made a great recovery and is starting on the Bench. So glad for him and hope he comes through with no problems. Looked at one stage he would need an Op and be months out!

Must have gone to the same doctor as Kikau. Remember a couple of weeks back Kikau was going to be out forever then played the following week.

7min:  Smith penalty. Storm 2-0

14min: Maumalo try.  Luke missed the kick from out wide.  Worriers 4-2

[Farmduck]

19min: Nick O'Rima try. Luke goal.  10 - 2

[Farmduck]

36min: Jahrome Hughes try out wide.  Smith converts. Storm 8 - 10

[Farmduck]

HT:   Warriors  10  Storm  8

Warriors had all the possession but just seem to struggle to score points. Melbourne are Melbourne. Not really in it. yet are just 2 points behind. I wonder if Goalkicking will hurt the warriors and the lack of creativity. Melbourne have had a few HIA worries, but still the attack and defence doesnt seem to be badly effective. No Halfback and Winger. Smith and Munster are leading them well in attack. Christian Welch is going well and tats great to see.

[Farmduck]

42min: Jahrome Hughes under the posts. Very strange, There was a possible obstruction there but Hughes was already arguing about it with the ref before he grounded the ball. Bizarre.

Smith converts.   14 - 10

[Farmduck]

52min: Vuni try. Smith converts from sideline. Storm.  20 - 10

[Farmduck]

Welch gets 10-in-the-bin for slowing PTB on defensive line.

[Farmduck]

Perenara warns Storm after 6 consecutive penalties.

[Farmduck]

63: Jesse Bromwich-Albion TRY. Smith converts.  26 - 10

[Farmduck]

second time in a row where RTS seemed very half-hearted about fielding the kick and got tackled in-goal.

[Farmduck]

As if a Solomona TRY? sent as NO and can't see any ball on grass .......... NO TRY

[Farmduck]

75min: Smith penalty goal.  28-10

[Farmduck]

78min: Marion Seve try for Storm. Smith's kick from out wide misses.

Storm 32 - 10 and there's only 24 seconds left so I'll say:

 

FT:   Storm  32  Warriors  10
