Round 11 Match Thread

[THE RED ROOSTER]

I have to start by admitting the side that has impressed me most this year is on a bye week in the Dolphins. The X-factor side that has knocked my radar off this year.

Coin Toss games

Melbourne v Brisbane

Canterbury v NZ Warriors

Clayton's Toss Game

Wabbits v West Tigers - Based on what I saw last week, in a win, Tigers fans switching on for this game should see a parental advisory warning flash on the screen. Barring a monsoon this could well be carnage.

Bird'y Bye-Bye

Quote

“Fans don’t really know too much about footy, I don’t think,” he told reporters.

“They’ve got a lot to say about people on the field. I don’t think they’ve ever played a game of footy

Fans also pay your wages....

Good luck with your tips

[Anita Bath]

There is a bloke who we should tempt Eddie Jones to go after….Jack Bird. He would fit in well there where there are too few fans to pay the players wages.

Friday match kicks off soon in Melbourne.

Storm soaking up a lot of Broncos pressure early on.

On their first real attack in a good position, Grant comes close and then Munster finds the gap and scores the first try of the game under the sticks.

[Graham]

6-0 Storm after about 12 minutes of play.

[Graham]

Meaney kicked the goal.

[Graham]

Olam missed scoring there. Defender used shoulder to stop the try. Not penalised. Not even considered by the vid ref.

[Graham]

Penalty try awarded to Broncos. Far worth judged to have been impeded by Grant.

Bit harsh that?

[Graham]

Farnworth given the try.

Goal from in front

6-6

 

[Graham]

Reynolds medi-cabbed off as he injured himself attempting to score in that last mad scramble.

All on again with Broncos having to readjust with Reynolds off the field.

[Graham]

Broncos don’t appear to be missing Reynolds.

Arthars scores in the left corner after plenty of possession near the line including a six again.

10-6 Broncos.

[Graham]

4th relieving penalties awarded to Broncos.

Storm not helping themselves.

[Futtocks]

Asofa-Solomona off with what looks like a ribular injury.

[Aerosaint]

Walsh is unbelievably good.   

[Graham]

Two minutes to half time and Farnworth sin binned for professional foul taking out a player who was chasing a kick through from Hughes.

And Will Warbrick almost immediately scores down the side where Herbie is missing.

[Graham]

The commentator is a doctor as he said NAS had broken ribs.

[Graham]

Meaney missed the goal kick from the touchline… just.

[Graham]

HALF TIME

Melbourne 10 - 10 Brisbane 

[Futtocks]

Ezra Mam, what a try-saver!

[Futtocks]

Carrigan in the bin for a suspected hip drop.

[Graham]

10 minutes ago, Futtocks said:

Ezra Mam, what a try-saver!

What a waste. That’s embarrassing to not score there.

[Graham]

Warbrick stripped of ball, but two men involved. 
Now Walsh denied a try.

[Graham]

Warbrick is relieved there!

[Graham]

Olam scores in the corner after some frenetic Storm play.
