Early try to Laybutt puts Cows up 6 - 0 then Townsend drops the restart kick. Cows regain through short dropout.

[Farmduck]

16min: Taulagi try, Holmes no goal. 10 - 0

[Farmduck]

Then Tights kick the restart over the dead ball line

[Farmduck]

Laybutt leaves with an ankle injury and Foran with some kind of bodily injury.

Foran looked OK running up and down the touchline near half time. Should be back.

[Farmduck]

Zac Laybutt suspected knee ACL injury. I said ankle but, it's all legular to me.

Just now, George Watt said:

These days I think Foran is held together with tape and wishful thinking.

46min: Brian Kelly try after Kyle Feldt was penalised for incorrect PTB. The ref called him to play it again then he played it again and maybe had a bit to say to the ref.

Goal kick missed

Titans 4 - 16

[Farmduck]

51min: Drinkwater try.

Holmes goal

Cows 22 - 4

[Farmduck]

55min: Drinwater pass puts Robson over for a try

Holmes goal

28 - 4

[Farmduck]

Then out of nowhere, Verrills, Brimson and Campbell create a 50m try.

Boyd kicks the goal

Tighteners  10 - 28

[Farmduck]

On the restart Fotuaika comes off the back fence and sends Sam McIntyre to HIA. Fotuaika also HIA, maybe a free interchange since he didn't seem to hit his head.

[Farmduck]

Ankle injury to Campbell, was that a hip drop by Townsend. Ref thinks so, 10 in the bin.

[Farmduck]

63min: Klees Haas try. Looked a bit forward from dummy half.

Boyd goal

Titans  16 - 28

[Farmduck]

65min: Titans move from their own 40m sees Beau Furball try.

Boyd goal

Tights  22 - 28

[Farmduck]

69min: Kyle Feldt takes intercept, runs 30m to become Cows all-time highest try scorer.

Holmes goal

Cows 34 - 22

 

With that try celebration I thought he was channelling Willem Dafoe from Platoon

[Farmduck]

72min: Townsend field goal

Cows 35 - 22

[Farmduck]

FT:   Cows 35  Titans  22

[Farmduck]

[Farmduck]

Raiders cross but pass called forward.

Rapana leaves field with some kind of leg injury

[Farmduck]

9min: penalty goal to Fogarty

Raiders 2 - 0

[Farmduck]

15min: 80m try to Raiders started by Strange and finished by Kris

Fogarty goal

Raiders 8 - 0

[Farmduck]

So Rapana back on the bench seemingly ready to go.

A disruptor penalty -I don't like them. As long as the "disruptor" is onside at the kick and doesn't make contact with the catcher, where's the problem.

More Raiders dropping with  legular problems. They can't penalise Simonsson for that, Shirley! He didn't land on the legs. Sanity prevails, no penalty.

[Farmduck]

24min: Sivo try but was there a knock-on in the lead-up?

Knock on by Gutho and maybe Sivo bounced the ball in the grounding. NO TRY!
