NRL 2019 - Round 20 - Match Thread

25min: Garrick try out wide, about as wide as you can get without being in the crowd. Then he misses the kick.

Manly 8 - 0

[Farmduck]

30min: Pong! try through 5 defenders from 20m out. Lino converts. Novocastrians 6 - 8

[Farmduck]

So much for my T-Turbo prediction. He dropped the ball 3 times in the first half.

 

HT:   Manly  8   Knights  6

[Farmduck]

50min: Joel Thompson try. Garrick converts. Manly  14 - 6

[Farmduck]

60min: Tapau try! Garrick converts. Manly  20 - 6

How predictable is it: you step away from the TV to unload some "used coffee" and someone scores!

[Farmduck]

67min: Taufua try but sent to bunker to try to find something ......... TRY

Garrick offline again.

Manly  24 - 6

[Farmduck]

70min: Garrick try. Looked like Kurt Mann on the wing just collapsed. Garrick converts the Garrick try by Garrick.  30 - 6

Great game by DCE

I can't see the Doggies winning this. If they were able to win this then why have they been playing like rubbish all year? I also can't see the Panthers not rebounding after last week's loss to the Raiders. Not sure why they're playing at Parra instead of ANZ.

[Farmduck]

4min: Reimis Smith try for Doggies. Meaney misses the goal from the sideline. 4 - 0

[Farmduck]

14min: Naden try for Black Cats. Nice hands in the leadup. Cleary converts. Panthers 6 - 4

[Farmduck]

17min: Meaney takes a penalty kick. ... and misses by miles.  Still Dogs  4 - 6

[Farmduck]

23min: penalty goal to Dogs. Holland kicking this time. 6 - 6

I don't understand that. The penalty was right in front so why not let Meaney take it to get himself back on a winning roll?

[Farmduck]

28min: Naden again? sent to bungle as No Try.  He tried to grab the ball 2 inches off the ground instead of just slapping a hand on it ?@?#?$?%?$?#?@

[Graham]

Tolman sent to bin for 10 as it was a professional foul in a try scoring opportunity.

[Graham]

Dogs 6 - 6 Panthers

[Farmduck]

Stupid penalty by the Dogs. Aiden Tolman grabs Freddie Mercury to stop him chasing the kick into the in-goal. Freddie wasn't even close to getting that ball. Tolperson gets 10 in the bin.

So Panthers decide to kick for goal?@?# Dogs were desperate in defence and wouldn't have survived another set of 6.

He kicks it. 8 - 6

[Graham]

Panthers had lots of possession and pressure near Dogs' line.

Cleary going for goal though.

8- 6 Panthers after that penalty goal.

You really think he was going to scvore?

No that's what either the commentary bloke said, but I think it was a phrase used by the bunkerman explaining Toman's binning.
