And that's full time. Thank God that's over. A pretty terrible game of footy to watch.

🐓 26-16 🦅

Here's hoping Storm v Panthers Friday night will be a good one.

Not exactly an open, free flowing game.

Both teams attack looking very ordinary.

Manly took an early penalty goal.

Roosters giving away penalties down Manly's end, making it easy tor them to march up the other end. And giving away 6 agains.....

Toupou leaps, grabs, reaches, and try!

Looks about the only way Roosters can score

🐓 6-2 🦅

All the close decisions going the Roosters way...

And Manu runs over the top of a couple of Manly players to score!

Suaalii kicking like Golden Boots!

Smith - Billy, not Brandon or Sandon- scores in the corner.

Poor defence from Manly again. Should not have scored that

And the ref finally sends someone to the bin... Sadly it's a Manly player

Chip & chase by Schuster for a Manly try.

Is this gonna turn it around? Uhoh, Roosters!

Roosters have 3 Smiths, 2 Bakers and a Butcher lol

And now Brown sent off.

Game is getting spicy

Try for the young fella Wong

Nope, bunker rules double movement....

Suaalii scores from a scrum. Basic stuff, and that should be enough to ice the game

Manly are so different with Turbo. Without him, they are rubbish.

And a score from a kick for Manly.

Late consolation try for Manly

Good play and a Storm try!

Uhoh another quick Panthers try. Storm need to knuckle up here.

And here we go Panfas vs Melbun! Let's hope we see the footy chucked around and it's not an MMA wrestle-fest

Stupid Storm penalty leads to another Panthers try just before halftime. 20-6.

Storm are their own worst enemy, and game should be closer.

Not a bad game to watch so far.

Panthers controlling field position now. And get a pen. Easy shot for 2-0

Both teams start solidly. Panthers get a penalty, Melbourne dropout and Storm get it back!

Panthers player gets falcon'd and it bounces offside . 2-2

He wasn't even watching the ball 🤡😂

Weight of possession leads to a sweeping backline training catch and pass for a Penriff try. 6-6

Game is so much better than last night, it's not funny

It looks like Penrith have 2 or 3 extra defenders 🤣

Penrith always have a spare guy on the passes across the backline. Try to To'o.

Good defence from Penrith on their own line. Hard to see how Storm can score here.

And that'll do it for tonight. Panthers too good, and if they stay injury free, hard to see anyone else stopping them. Melbourne still don't have their top 13 on the field, and didn't play badly, but Penrith defence shut them down.

Panthers 26-6 Storm

Cronulla looked pretty good last night. Until about the last 15 minutes, when they decided to take the rest of the night off. Funnily enough, the Bunnies took the first 65 minutes off, and only decided to play the last 15 minutes.

Another mad sin bin for no reason because somebody got tackled too hard. Luckily, had no impact on the outcome.

And right on half time, Toupou is in the corner. Suaalii with another great conversion.

Half time

🐓 18-2 🦅

So many penalties and 6 agains for both teams. Coaches will be going off in the sheds.

I see that the Dragons managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory...

Seriously, the ladder is a fucking mess. Sort yourselves out 😡

From a quick glance, if everything went their way next week, Roosters could jump into the top 8? Will have to check that out...
