Has been a fairly mistake riddled game. Probably due to the rain and the slippery conditions. Newcastle have looked on top but have made some critical errors. Tigers have looked woeful. Lui has been pretty shit but Marshall has been no better. Gareth Ellis has looked the best for the Tigers and I think that Cooper Vuna has looked sharp for the Knights. Naiquama has looked decent. Ben Rogers scored a pretty decent try but has knocked the ball on a few times with some large opportunities. Hopefully this game becomes a little more entertaining in the second half. My prediction due to the first half is that the Knights will run away with the victory. Patterson has made some real good runs this week.

 

Fitzhenry hasn't been that bad this week and has been better than some of the others. You can't blame him, took a few decent takes. Lui and Marshall have both been ordinary.

Yeah same here. It wasn't a tackle anyway. I thought that Uate just went for the ankle tap because he thought Tuqiri had the ball.

Yeah he sure did. I remember Brett Stewart did the same thing and the try was awarded.

 

That knock on he did close to the line was terrible. He was lucky they got a penalty otherwise he would of looked like a shitkent.

 

TRY to Chris Lawrence after a nice lead up from Farah and Marshall. 10-6 Tigers kicks to come.

Tigers to make a fool out of me.

 

What just happened there is what makes a good football team or even a good half stand out. You don't kick the ball on the 2nd tackle when you are only 5 metres from the line.

Score remains 10-6 to the Tigers, conversion missed ftr.

 

Massive hit by Ben Cross on Fitzhenry. Loved it!

 

Ben Rogers penalised for a dangerous tackle. Tigers have decided to go to for goal.

Marshall gets it score is now 12-6 to the Tigers

 

Field goal to the Tigers slotted by Benji Marshall. Newcastle will struggle to come back from here. They have looked ordinary this second half.

 

40/20 to Farah. A decent kick.

TRY to Benji Marshall 17-6 to the Tigers kick to come.

Converted 19-6
