Actually, no. That was 2019

[Farmduck]

I'm no trainer or physio but I can't understand how that tape on Kikau could solve anything.

[Farmduck]

Victor Radley gets 10 in the bin for hip-drop-adjacent tackle.

[Futtocks]

Radley binned.

Wow. Roosters playing with 11 for the rest of the game but remarkably they score again and are still within striking distance with 5 to play.

[Futtocks]

Six points in it!

It will have to be quite something to top what we just watched.

Zac Lomax just produced a beauty of a pass to send Hunt over for the Dragons' second try.

Absolutely chucking it down.

[Futtocks]

They just cut to a shot of a fan with a snorkel!

The Knights are pushing ahead as the Dragons make error after error in the wet.
