CROSS FORUM NRL Round 14 Discussion

Quality. NAS to be fired into the sun by Bellamy after that

 

[Big Pete]

Dream start for the Knights.

Great hit by Jones on NAS to force the mistake, then Pearce-Paul gets the second phase going and it translates into points - more of that from KPP please!

Th


6 agains are starting to make the game unwatchable. Worst rule change in the games history . Abdo and PVL need to go

Good luck this avo Beave, you guys lose by 10+ and we jump you on the ladder, that'd be a shame. The dirty dogs could jump us both tomorrow though.

Dogs can also jump over the Broncs, how is this happening. Let's hope it doesn't.

 

[Big Pete]

That's the value of having a weapon like NAS.

Just kept Crossland tight, Crossland then desperately tries to take Wishart but is wrong footed and Tyran is too strong a runner from that far out.

Dylan Lucas looks like a young Matty Johns . Hmmm, A Newcastle junior? The Johns brothers Newcastle legends? ........lol

Makes sense since Cooper is Kurt Gidleys son. You win some, you lose some.

Last pass was clearly forward but that was a great set piece from Melbourne. Wishart comes through the ruck, Hughes has a number of options and hits Meaney with a lovely pass to put Anderson away.

 

[Big Pete]

I can't believe Gee's first instinct was to penalise Gagai there after his run. Fortunately the captain's challenge came in handy.

Gagai with a well deserved try, Coates in no man's land.

 

[Big Pete]

Newcastle having a field day down Melbourne's right-side but it looks like they're going to run out of time. Tuala just did everything but scored when he attacked Coates' inside shoulder.

 

[Big Pete]

Leo Thompson with a huge break through the middle, Knights keep the ball alive but Melbourne scramble well. Why didn't Newcastle go right?! Go left and Melbourne shut it down with ease.

Fortunately their hail mary chip for the posts comes off and Hastings serves up for Tuala to score. Hastings nails the conversion and we've got a big finish coming up. What do the Knights have?

 

[Big Pete]

Newcastle really needed to get the ball into Gagai's hands. Unfortunately it finds Frizell and they have no other choice but to kick and hope.

Frizell shoves King over, Gee gives the penalty and that should be game.

 

[Big Pete]

Now Frizell off to the sin bin for a blatant professional foul. Good kick from Grant to force the issue and the Storm should be home here at 36-28.

A very nervous win. Melbourne defended well when they were able to just grind it out, but when Newcastle had any attacking football they looked weak.

what a ridiculous scoreline

 

[Big Pete]

Time for Watene-Zelezniak to exact his revenge with a spectacular try of his own.

Couple of heart-breakers early on and injuries rocked your players. The team has come out the other side stronger - should be an awesome game next week.

 

[Allo]

I'd like a replay of Turuva getting that ball back in before going out

But they'll let Penrith do what they want I suppose

 

[Big Pete]

Manly scrambled well but the weight of possession eventually took it's toll. I have no idea what Ben Trbojevic was doing off the Turuva offload, by rights it was his ball but he showed no urgency to dive on the pill.

To'o in the corner as Penrith run that umbrella shape at them.

Up the riff (yuck) can't have those gulls pull away from us.
