NRL 2019 - Round 21 - Match Thread

[Graham]

Commentator now at the basso profundo level. He must have recovered his composure and bits.

[Graham]

18-14 Eels with 11 minutes remaining 

[Graham]

I’ll discipline from Klemmer sees Eels given penalty in front with a minute to go.

[Futtocks]

20:14 at FT

Newcastle got sloppy, and the Eels piled on the pressure.

[Graham]

20-14 Eels then

[Graham]

Knights worked hard throughout but wilted a bit in the end. Eels kept them on the back foot for the last ten minutes or so.

In five minutes time:

[Graham]

Momorovski try in the corner for Tigers. Really well taken while being smother tackled.

4-0 Wests Tigers

 

[Graham]

Tigers

Upside 6-0 lead

Downside Mbye left the field and likely out the rest of the game.

Farah now goes off the field. Still 0:6.

Half time:

8-0 Tigers

[Graham]

That sin binning was a bit harsh. He was fractionally late in the tackle but within tolerance for me.

If the ref had to give anything maybe just maybe a penalty. 10 in the bin was harsh.

[Graham]

As Foxsports Live summarise

Quote

The Tigers have lost three players - two to injury and one to a farcical sin binning - as they cling to a lead against Canterbury at ANZ Stadium

Sivo scores, as his dad is watching him live for the first time.

Looking at the size of his dad, he'd have been pretty useful if RL had been looking to Fiji for players back in the day. Possibly even a bit bigger than Maiko!

Now an equally harsh binning for the Bulldogs.

Canterbury 18:12 Wests

[Futtocks]

Garner scores for Wests, but an equalising conversion was missed.

18:16 at FT

[Graham]

Bulldogs pip Tigers after second half blitz.

After trailing 8-0 at the break the Bulldogs flew out of the blocks in the second term with tries to Josh Jackson, Jeremy Marshall-King and Nick Meaney within 15 minutes of the resumption.

From that point the Bulldogs dug in on the back of committed defence and controlled sets orchestrated by halves Jack Cogger and Lachlan Lewis.
