NRL Round 20 Thread

[Graham]

With Munster and Grant off the field, Roosters finished with a couple of late tries. Too little, too late.

And 23 penalties and restarts 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Great start to the 2nd half by the Dolphins against Penrith.

[Futtocks]

Decided to have a lie-in for a change, so only watching the Eels/Titans game, which has been entertaining so far.

[Futtocks]

Womble-Dullard gets 10 for going in hard with both knees on an already-tackled player. Nasty.

[Futtocks]

Eels 18:16 Titans with 35 minutes to go.

[JohnM]

The closest try/no try decision I've ever seen!  Eels 24....Titans 24. , 12 to go.

[Futtocks]

Gutho awarded a 50/50 (hmm...) decision and it's 24 all with 12 minutes to go.

[JohnM]

Para getting the marginal decisions 60/40?

Who is Titans no 10 and why is he a marked man?

Tino Faasuamaleaui - he led with a high elbow earlier in the game, but it wasn't considered bad enough for a card (unlike RCG's knees in the back), so the Eels fans got all snotty whenever he had the ball.

Yet one more half time lead the Titans have lost…I have lost count but I think its nine now this season.

You obviously came top of the class in spelling! I never have trouble spelling his name….T….I…..N…..O.

[DavidM]

The ref in that titans game really struggled . Even at the end he clearly called RCG not square , he chased Tanah Boyd down when he attempted a field goal and still didn’t give a penalty

I’d like to know what a red card is in the NRL . Him and Sivo are lucky . If you get a lengthy ban  surely that should be a red card .
