[Forty20]

Newcastle making huge inroads off the kickoff set. Mullaney gets an awkward bounce and is trapped 3 metres off our line. Wenty with alot of work to do this set.

 

[Forty20]

A better set of defence there from Wenty. Wenty ruled to have not played at a forceful grubber from Newcastle. Wenty get the scrum feed 20m out from their line.

Newcastle are also down a player due to injury. Terevano (sp) I believe.

Annnnnnnd Wenty make a mistake from the scrum.

f**k me dead.

 

[Forty20]

Fairly standard backline move is well executed by Newcastle and Wenty read it poorly. Newcastle centre goes over untouched.

Newcastle hit the lead for the first time today.

Conversion is good.

Newcastle lead 22-16

Death by a thousand errors here today folks.

 

[Forty20]

Big metres again from a kickoff set for Newcastle. Fortunately an inside pass goes astray and Wenty get possession against the run of play.

Newcastle are penalised for a high shot against Eisenthuth.

 

[Forty20]

Strong carry from Eisenhuth gets him centimetres from the line but he loses the ball as he extends his arms out and all the pressure is released for Newcastle.

49 minutes gone.

 

[Forty20]

And yet again Newcastle march down the field with another 50m set. Mullaney struggles with a torpedo bomb and finally cleans it up 10m out.

Wenty get a fortuitous penalty in the ruck and resume play 45m out from their line.

 

[Forty20]

O'Hanlon puts Waters (who shows some pace) through a gap with an early ball, Waters then gives it back to O'Hanlon who goes over to get Wenty back on track.

Conversion is good

We are locked up again at 22 all.

53 minutes gone.

 

[strider]

the dark clouds you can see gathering in he background on tv, looks like it might be a wet afternoon

 

[Forty20]

Dylan Gilbert makes a strong carry but is in some strife now. His legs got caught under a defender in the tackle.

Time off as Gilbert looks to recover.

 

[Forty20]

Gilbert is playing on. O'Hanlon steams onto a ball deep in the set. Nathan Smith is on and runs from dummy half on the last. Not sure if he knew it was the last tackle but he gets caught and Newcastle work it out from 30m out.

55 minutes gone.

 

[strider]

i honestly think at some stage, ricky should give POH a good run in NRL and say, this is your shot dude take it or not .... he's had a few brief glimpses in nrl, but i don't think any past coach has ever really given him a chance

 

[Forty20]

Wenty pinged for a second effort in the tackle. Nathan Smith guilty.

Newcastle on the attack.

 

[Forty20]

nospam29 from dummy half for Newcastle as he drops it over the line.

Newcastle getting shirty here, the player who dropped the ball over the line gets his hand in the face of Ma'afu and gets a caution from the ref.

Wenty get a scrum penalty for Newcastle breaking early.

Good kick for touch gives Wenty the restart 10m from half way.

 

[strider]

Wenty pinged for a second effort in the tackle. Nathan Smith guilty.

Newcastle on the attack.

i think he learnt it from his brother ben

 

[Forty20]

FARRRRRRKKKK. Another simple error early in the count gives Newcastle possession. Terepo for the second time today with a loose carry into contact.

Dylan Gilbert has succumbed to his injury and Matt Ryan is slotting in at centre.

58 minutes gone.

 

[Forty20]

Newcastle go straight through with a nice short ball. Mullaney makes a good tackle and Newcastle kick it dead on the following play.

Huge let off for Wenty as they work it out from the 20m line.

 

[Forty20]

Pewairianghi give Mullaney a nice inside ball and Wenty get a good play the ball. Some razzle dazzle on the following play from Harrison find Waters who grubbers and gets a supremely lucky deflection to go through and score off his own kick.

Conversion is no good

Wenty hit the front again 26-22.

Some serious luck here for Wenty.

 

[Pazza]

Sounds like heart attack stuff lol

 

[Forty20]

Good run and offload from Harrison put Wenty on the front foot on their kickoff set. Wenty with a big bomb that is spilled by one of our chasers. Newcastle work it out from deep in their half.

63 minutes gone.

On a side note. Peni is alot like Semi. Alot of potential there but also alot of stupid errors.

 

[Forty20]

Really nice hands from the backline here as Pewairanghi streaks down the left hand side. He was covered by the fullback but turns him in and out and puts him away with the dont-argue and he goes over in the corner. He even has the cheeky Sandow salute to finish it off.

One for the highlight reel there.

Conversion is good from the sideline

Wenty lead 32-22

66 minutes gone.

Pewairanghi having a big game here.
