2017 NRL Finals Wk 2: Teams and Game Day

[the bone]

Radradra with a 100m solo try!

[greeneyed]

7th min TRY EELS to Semi Radradra. He runs 100 metres to score... the referee goes to the bunker to check the grounding, but there's no issue. The Cowboys tactic of kicking to the corner comes unstuck. Mitchell Moses converts from in front.

Eels 6-0

[BJ]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!

[Northern Raider]

Semi has an amazing ability to turn a kick defense into an attacking play

[the bone]

Wonderful put down from feldt in the corner, try time cowboys!

[Northern Raider]

Try to the Cowboys. Immediate strike back. This could be a very entertaining game if it continues like this.

[greeneyed]

11th min TRY COWBOYS to Kyle Feldt... The referee said NO TRY on the advice of the touch judge, but he planted it before he went out. The bunker overrules, correctly. Awesome try. Lowe with an amazing kick from the sideline... it looked like it would be well wide and it curled right in.

Eels 6
Cowboys 6

[greeneyed]

These teams are really unleashing the attack.

[BJ]

Try to the Cowboys. Immediate strike back. This could be a very entertaining game if it continues like this.

Yep really enjoyable game, especially compared to the boring wrestling and block plays that teams like the Broncos successfully dish up.

[the bone]

Alvaro has been ruled out for the rest of the match

[the bone]

Another 100m runaway try to parra! Going to the bunker for checking

[edwahu]

Try to the Cowboys. Immediate strike back. This could be a very entertaining game if it continues like this.

Yep really enjoyable game, especially compared to the boring wrestling and block plays that teams like the Broncos successfully dish up.

Yep. Why the NRL doesn't encourage this style of football more is beyond me.

[the bone]

It's a try, parra up 10-6, KTC

[greeneyed]

31st min TRY EELS to Will Smith... he goes almost the length of the field after the Eels regather a rebound. Unlucky, as Lachlan Coote was held back chasing. The Cowboys looked like they were getting the better of the contest... but the Eels have now had two runaway tries. No conversion.

Eels 10-6

[the bone]

Moses misses the conversion, score remains 10-6 after 32 mins. Ethan Lowe can get credit for chasing smith and saving 2 points by forcing a conversion from out wide

[Northern Raider]

Eels want to be defending their tryline more. It creates all their try scoring opportunities.

[yeh raiders]

Kane Linnett looks like he has been attacked by Wolves... even prior to ripping his shirt

[greeneyed]

HALF TIME

Parramatta Eels 10
North Queensland Cowboys 6

[the bone]

I really don't like Moses, Scott or Edwards

[BJ]

Your 100% correct. The way the NRL sets the agenda and the way the Referees adjudicate the game rewards safety first football and rewards slowing down the ruck as the most effective defensive technique.

[the bone]

That's terrible from smith/Auva'a. Someone has to catch that

[greeneyed]

46th min TRY COWBOYS to John Asiata, he just steals the ball from Smith after a bomb from Morgan. Converted Lowe.

Cowboys 12-10

[dubby]

Good game.

[yeh raiders]

I really don't like Moses, Scott or Edwards

My mum whinges less than Moses!

[yeh raiders]

Wally Lewis notches up his 50th useless comment for the evening

[the bone]

I really don't like Moses, Scott or Edwards

My mum whinges less than Moses!

Speaking of, my mum ran into your mum today at DJs

[yeh raiders]

Parra have lost their heads ... Kenny Edwards is not well

[yeh raiders]

**** off Sterlo with your reverse-bias.

Hardly anything there

[edwahu]

How can they ignore the punch????

[dubby]

Cows are a gutsy team

[greeneyed]

52nd min TRY COWBOYS to Coen Hess. It's a great try and now there's a dust up. They're looking for an illegality... Cameron King comes in with the knees, late. There look to be some punches as well in the aftermath. Ma'u the offender. Could be an eight point try. The bunker confirms the try. There's no other action. Converted.

Cowboys 18-10

[Northern Raider]

No idea how the Eels avoided any further penalty there

[yeh raiders]

I really don't like Moses, Scott or Edwards

My mum whinges less than Moses!

Speaking of, my mum ran into your mum today at DJs

Hahaha, she's a DJ's veteran now

[the bone]

Parra have absolutely lost their heads. Ma'u can count himself very lucky not to be sitting in the bin

[edwahu]

Cows are a gutsy team

Wish we had their guts. Plus Lolo.
