NRL Round 7 - Match Thread - All games here - Round Complete

[Futtocks]

Williams is the only player on the field who has landed a DG in his entire career.

[Graham]

This ought to be ruled a draw

[Graham]

Gutherson kicks the winning point

Eels win it. 
25-24

[Graham]

You have to feel for Raiders.

Gutherson is in top form. 
King Gutho

[Futtocks]

Parramatta set themselves up better for their DG attempts than Canberra did. And that was the edge in the end.

[Futtocks]

What a game!

[Graham]

I have a bit of a liking for both these clubs.

Not a classic game but exciting with a nail biting finish.

Golden point time needed to decide this game.

[Graham]

There’s been some big scores and big wins in this round so far, but this saw 49 points shared ALMOST equally... but ended in Parramatta’s favour.

I wouldn't blame the pitch. In neither case did the players' feet dig in to the surface. It was just the weight on the knee as they stepped. With Radley gone maybe Ryan Hall should make the move to the forwards.

So the experts and reps from NRL have inspected the pitch finding it firm and stable. They have okayed it for the other fixtures planned for there this weekend to go ahead.

UK times Sunday R7 games

[Graham]

Just switched on near the end of the game to see that Sharks have massacred Manly!

With just a few minutes left it’s 

[Graham]

Consolation try for Manly with a top class flying winger’s try

40-22 Cronulla.

[Graham]

So a torrent of points in that one...

62 in total.

[Graham]

Next game

Kicks off in about half an hour’s time

[Graham]

Well who’d have thought Sharks would produce such a convincing performance and victory over the Sea Eagles?

Our last game of R7 has kicked off 

[Futtocks]

Hopoate hobbling off already.

[Graham]

Will Hopoate has hurt his ankle.

Play stopped for him.

Morning Futtocks

Very breezy here

I was surprised at the size and manner of Sharks convincing win over Manly.

I watched most of it. Yes, Manly's various injuries from last week had an effect, but Cronulla were worth their win.

[Futtocks]

One try each, as young Harry Grant shows why he's got people so excited.

[Graham]

Harry Grant on loan from Storm produces the first try for Wests Tigers, darting left and right before plunging over the tryline. Tigers fans will be hoping Cam Smith plays on next season and that Harry is signed permanently.

[Graham]

So we make that 6-6 with a quarter of an hour left of the first half..
