[Big Pete]

Knights v Sharks is just about to kick us off.

EDIT: Don't request streams

 

[Big Pete]

Tyrone Roberts scores the first try of the Auckland 9s with an intercept.

 

[Big Pete]

Sharks respond by scoring the first 5 point try - Tagataese runs off Fa'amanu Brown and scores right under the uprights.

 

[Super Freak]

That was a good try by Tagataese.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Got the sports package on my Tbox. Excellent

 

[Big Pete]

:lol: Terrible start to the second half.

Both Gallen & Beau Scott throw terrible passes.

Couldn't happen to nicer people.

Carny scores for the Sharkies.

 

[Super Freak]

Watching this, I don't see how a lot of people can have Knights as favorites to win it. They really aren't that slick, a bit rusty. Too rusty. Sharks really aren't that good also.

 

[Alec]

Gardner looks like he's loving it. Tailor made for this.

 

[Super Freak]

Well, Sharks win their game first game. A try in the last 60 seconds in the left corner. I didn't really see it, just saw Gardner go in to score.

15-12

 

[Big Pete]

Cronulla wins the opening game 15-12 with a late minute try to Gardner who juggled the pass in the corner.

Both teams looked a little rusty and blew opportunities. Highlight of the game was Leilua's try off the boot of Mullen - trademark Mullen.

Tigers v Titans up next.

 

[Grimmiq]

Bennett won't be at all happy with that, especially the dummy-half screwup.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Kelly what a Maranta special effort not to score

 

[Alec]

Titans have to be one of the favourites with their squad.

 

[Grimmiq]

Kelly what a Maranta special effort not to score

And Tedesco had a Maranta special effort trying to tackle him.

[Big Pete]

Titans looking very good.

Can't convert though

8-0

Gordon & Taylor leave the field injured.

Make that 12-0, Austin spills it, Tighe goes close but gets taken by prop James Gavet until Mead eventually scores.

 

[Super Freak]

Titans really taking advantage of the extra space and Tigers sloppy defense.
