NRL Match Thread Finals Week 1 - Sunday : Souths v Knights

[Graham]

Cleary converts his second try of the game.

16-10 Panthers

12 minutes of first half left

This is a belter of a game to watch

[Farmduck]

Cleary hattrick

 

 

[Graham]

Panthers on fiery fire.

Superb as Vossy says!

[Graham]

Lui and Cleary are the Batman and Robin of the NRL

Wonderful stuff.

[Futtocks]

Oh my...

What a half!

[Graham]

22-10 Panthers (18 points scored by Nathan Cleary)

[Dunbar]

Big call this but I cannot remember enjoying watching a team play as much as I enjoy watching this Panthers team.

[Farmduck]

HT: Panthers  22  Roosters  10

[Graham]

A lesser team might have buckled under that start by their opponents.

They are in outstanding form and as you say, a pleasure to watch.

[Futtocks]

Cleary hits the post with an easy penalty, but Panthers regain possession from the rebound. Koroisau looks hurt, though.

[Futtocks]

Crichton scores, but there's a bit of kerfuffle afterwards.

[Farmduck]

Now a Crichton try for Panthers.

[Farmduck]

Now Teddy try

[Futtocks]

Tedesco gets one back for the Roosters. Game not quite over yet.

[Farmduck]

Interesting ruling on that successful Captain's Challenge. Because he called the penalty before he'd called held, it had to go back to the PTB.

[Farmduck]

Morris try? No reaction from Chooks but ref sends it up as a try.

 

Josh Morris try.

 

 

[Farmduck]

Flanagan converts.  Roosters 22 - 28 with 15 minutes left

[Futtocks]

A semi-falcon by Fisher-Harris is being challenged by the Roosters... challenge unsuccessful.

[Futtocks]

Kickable penalty to the Panthers, but they're going to run it.

[Farmduck]

Cleary field goal. 29 - 22

3 minutes left

[Futtocks]

DG successful - 29:22

[Graham]

Hi I'm back! This has been one heck of a game, full of virtually everything!

[Farmduck]

... and then Naden gives away a super-dumb penalty at the kick-off which results in an Angus Crichton try three tackles later. 29-28 with a minute left.
