NRL Match Thread Round 13

[Graham]

16-10 Warriors 

[Futtocks]

That was an expensive sin-binning.

[Futtocks]

Patrick Herbert gets his second for the Warriors in the corner.

Manly 10:20 Warriors at HT.

[Futtocks]

Warriors strike first in the second half - 10:26.

[Graham]

Hetherington in the bin for ten after taking Taupau out of the game with a head high shot which pole axed him.

Taupau led off the field after receiving attention for about four minutes on the pitch.

[Graham]

Under half an hour to the Souths v Broncos game.

Team lists:

[Futtocks]

Manly 16:26 Warriors. This is not over yet.

[Graham]

Olakau’atu scored the reach out try.

Garrick converted

[Futtocks]

Taupau has failed his HIA. Manly are short of numbers and muscle for the rest of the game.

[Graham]

Hetherington back on, Taupau not able to return though as he’s failed his HIA

[Graham]

Nice cushion of points forWarriors in these conditions... or is it?

You were saying? Taufua scores in the corner for Manly.

[Graham]

... on cue Jorge Taufua over out wide

[Graham]

26-22 Warriors

Still 11 minutes left

[Futtocks]

Converted, too - suddenly we have a 4-point margin.

[Graham]

Full time then and Warriors run the clock down by Nikorima going for a jog around the nether regions.

[Futtocks]

Nikorima goes for a gentle jog behind the posts, to run the final seconds down, and it is a Warriors win.

[Futtocks]

Onwards - Fifita's back for the Broncos and I'm looking forward to see what he can do for a gradually-improving side.

[Graham]

FULL TIME

MANLY SEA EAGLES 22 - 26 NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS

Rainy day at the most bog-like pitch in the NRL and Manly with Tapau and Fonua-Blake up front. Can't see any upset here.

Mmm ...

As above

... and it was perfect weather... for ducks.

[Graham]

Souths don’t usually do well against Broncos.

However this Broncos outfit probably wouldn’t do well against themselves, so Souths are surely favourites here.

[Graham]

Gagai in on the left for a try after a bit of handbags involving him back downfield.

Nice move from Souths: swift passes set Gagai up.

[Graham]

6-0 Bunnies

15 minutes gone.
