NRL Finals 2022

May assaulting people on the field now! Can he serve 10mins next year?
Nope.

He does love a high-shot by the looks of things.

 

[Blair]

So left winger goes off.
Eels attack right wing. Hmmm

I kind of think Parra need to score first. Plus they're 13 v 12.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Eels drop the bomb and Panthers score first.

Geez, the Panthers are rumbling up the field. They're clearly the better team right now, plus playing 12 v 13.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Eels offered nothing in attack there, looked Warriors like.
Panthers revved up in defense.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Now May loses the ball in a tackle.
Leading to Eels scoring under the post!

Just what the game, and finals series - needed.

Six-all. Half an hour gone. Waqa Blake Manu-like under the bomb!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Moses tries for the 1 point and misses.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Cleary shows him how its done!

7-6 halftime

It looks like Nathan Cleary will be the difference. He's fresh too, unlike last year, after five weeks off.

 

[Blair]

OK, so Parra take the two for a high-shot on Ice and go in front for the first time, 8-7.

But do you still feel Penrith are just playing with them, just a touch?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

It looks like Nathan Cleary will be the difference. He's fresh too, unlike last year, after five weeks off.

Cleary scoops at ball rather than dives on ball stuffing the try.
ICE taken high and earns team a penalty, 2 point taken and the lead
7-8.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Wow, what a bomb by Cleary! Had 5 weeks of practice!
Blake got nothing.
To'o scores in the corner.
Great shape by Panthers in attack, draws Eels defense in and goes out the back.
13-8

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Game, set and match

Gutho whinging about a blatant forward pass that he threw

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Moses head meet Kikaou hip! Gone.
Cleary Cross field kick for Edwards to score on a switch play.
19-8

Only 2m forward ref!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Cleary with a break.
Same set, sets to kick and runs it then flicks on to JFH to score.
25-8

 

[Blair]

Eels fans are feeling sick. The writing is well and truly on the wall now.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Only 2m forward ref!

In fairness they are used to getting all the forward pass calls in their favour

remember a few years back both Manly and Warriors were robbed when Tom and RTS threw quality balls that were called forward
