FT:   Roosters  22      Raiders  18

[Farmduck]

Some changes for the Storm. Hughes and Papal Housing missing - to lose one FB is a misfortune. To lose 2 looks like carelessness.

[Farmduck]

5min: J Brommich under the posts. Smith converts. 6 - 0

Only one Smith this week. Dunno what happened to Brandon. He certainly wouldn't have been dropped on form.

[Farmduck]

Some lame joke about Kyle Turner looking fitter.

What next? Something about Nelson looking like a column?

[Farmduck]

10min: Smith penalty goal.  8  - 0

[Farmduck]

11min: Justin Olam try. Smith missed the kick.  12 - 0

[Farmduck]

Olam goes HIA, lotta blood from nose.

[Farmduck]

25min: Campbell Graham try for Bunnies after Souths got 5 straight penalties. Reynolds missed the kick, 4 - 12

[Farmduck]

Did Cow Fuzzy score for Storm or something?  Vunivalu jumped early for high kick and pushed defender off ball, says bunker.

NO TRY

[Farmduck]

2 penalties in 2 minutes against Storm + extra 10m for chat

[Farmduck]

another penalty to Souths - 8 in a row but still no apparent warning.

Reynolds kicks goal.  6 - 12

Maybe the ref gave the Storm a warning but Cameron Smith overruled him.

Justin Olam not coming back from HIA. I thought they just took him off to stop the bleeding nose and get a free interchange.

[Farmduck]

HT:      Storm  12     Souths  6

[Farmduck]

Good shot of a bird nest with birb.  Osprey? Wedge-tailed eagle?

[Farmduck]

44min: No try but checking destruction ............ Felise Cow Fuzzy gets 10 in bin for pushing the kick chaser into the post.

[Farmduck]

45min: Campbell Graham gets his 2nd try. Reynolds nails it from sideline.  12 - 12

[Farmduck]

58min: Nelson A-S try? I saw double movement. So he also fumbled the ball which hit a Souths defender. NO TRY

[Farmduck]

Completely apropos of nothing, the ground DJ plays Anarchy in the UK!!!!!

[Farmduck]

Crowd:  19,533

[Farmduck]

60min: The Munster!!! TRY

[Farmduck]

Great commentary by Buderus: He (Munster) has always got that left foot up his sleeve!

 

Smith converts. Storm  18 - 12

[Farmduck]

67min: Smith penalty goal.  Storm 20 - 12

[Farmduck]

Kyle Turner was replaced, using Souths last interchange, now Adam Reynold is injured.

Probably irrelevant as Vunivalu dives over BUT ..... bunker sees a foot on the sideline just before he dived.

[Farmduck]

72min: Graham Campbell scores in the corner. Reynolds can't kick, barely walk.  Ethan Lowe takes the kick - straight online but UNDER the crossbar.

Souths 16-20

[Farmduck]

76min: Brodie Croft try. off a Munster kick. Smith converts.  Storm 26 - 16
