Graham Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Tigers look to be playing better. Good first set after their converted try. But... the give a penalty away laying on Ponga in the tackle I suppose. The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Controversial try awarded there . He grounded the ball twice. Bunker though said the momentum of the tackle took him over. He was certainly always in the air and no arms or body touched the ground before he advanced it. Well that appears to be the bunker view.

Graham Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Storm looked so lively in that performance earlier. Dogs looked dejected by the end. That last try was a clever one, the kick the chase by JAC the dribble and the pounce was the icing on the cake. When I saw the poleaxing of Munster by the swinging arm across his neckIbthough he would be out of the game there. No, he recovered from that. It was the awkward twist on his leg when he was tackled that did for him. Two weeks out? Maybe a bit optimistic that?

Looked bad from a couple of angles but not so bad from another. He then got JAC tight across the face - Kewnny Bromwich scored a double. - and with 30 seconds left, JAC chases a kick from a scrum on the 30m line to score FT: Storm 41 Dogs 10 Bulldog's make Kenny Bromwich look the best wide running second row in the game!

Graham Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Kikau had been given a facial earlier. Answer in the best way racing over in the Panthers’ first real attack.
