Both failed HIAs. Jake Arthur, 18th Man, activated.

Cleary kicks a penalty to make it Panthers 20-12

Not sure what it was for - late tackle? above horizontal?

[Farmduck]

Try'o for To'o

Cleary missed the goal

FT:  Panthers 24  Manly 12

Thus ends the Great Manly Attacking Experiment. I'm reminded of the words of Admiral Yamamoto in 1940:

“I can run wild for six months… after that, I have no expectation of success.”

Panthers made to work hard for that win. 
It was far from their best form, but good enough.

A fine team try for Cronulla opens the scoring, but Mulitalo hasn't looked right since touching down. It seems to be ankular, so he's been strapped up and left on the field for now.

[Futtocks]

Tino Fa’asuamaleaui scores to celebrate signing his huge 10 year Titans deal.

[Futtocks]

Sami touches down after - oops - a forward pass. No try.

[Futtocks]

Kruise Leeming has just come on.

[Futtocks]

Mulitalo seems to have shaken off his injury enough to score his second try.

[Futtocks]

Half Time - Cronulla 20:6 Gold Coast.

[Futtocks]

Second half, and Foran is out of the rest of the match with a ribular injury.

[Futtocks]

Try for Wade Graham!

[Futtocks]

Fifita plucks a high ball out of the air, spins and darts over. The Man from del Bunker, he say... NO TRY.

[Futtocks]

Another Titans try chalked off for a forward pass.

Then Ramien scores for the Sharks.

It's been one of those days for the Gold Coast.

[Futtocks]

Full Time - 36:6. Not a memorable game, but still some nice bits for the highlights reel.

Brisbane Broncos v Parramatta Eels

Broncos 2:0 up. End-to-end so far but no tries.

[Futtocks]

A nicely-worked try for the Broncos, especially Capewell's delicate chip, kicked on the run.

[Futtocks]

Billy Walters dodges and darts in under the sticks.

[Futtocks]

Mariner scores out wise, after a long, high pass from Walsh.

Conversion missed - 18:0.

[Futtocks]

Mariner intercepts, passes to Farnworth. He gets knocked down, regains his feet and runs over the try-line backwards to score. I think he's recovered from whatever happened last round.

Converted for 24:0 and that takes us to half time.

The incompleted tackle on Herbie was Moses' last act of the game. He has a suspected cheekbone fracture from earlier in the game.

Mam to Mariner - try!
