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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

 

[BroncosHQ.com]

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

 

[BroncosHQ.com]

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.

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

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

 

[BroncosHQ.com]

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.

 

[BroncosHQ.com]

Manly back to back here.

The ol' Capewell play here with Koula cutting back into the middle to draw Tago and it gets B. Trbojevic a 2-1 on the outside. Talau with a double and Manly have picked up where they left off against Melbourne.

 

[BroncosHQ.com]

Penrith getting torn apart on the edges. Smith with a fantastic try-saver and he's let down by Turuva who couldn't handle Brooks' cross-field kick.

Talau with a hat-trick, Penrith are up against it this afternoon.

 

[BroncosHQ.com]

Watch those missed conversions come back to bite Manly on the ass.

That panther roar is as cringe as it is annoying

Come on homophobes, knock the smug off the Riff.

Come on Eagles, knock the smug off the Riff.

If they lose, we over take them on the ladder.

Panthers to run away with this. They are all over Manly.
