Round 15 NSW Cup Vs Auckland Vulcans *Live Game Thread*

[Yossarian]

Groat back on…

 

[MacDougall]

How bad was it? Like worst intentional shoulder charge to the head you've ever seen bad?

 

[pHyR3]

neck brace is likely precautionary…i hope.

 

[Yossarian]

Mr T in for another try. Typically strong effort down the wing. 14-18 ktc

He was spinning/semi-falling in to the tackle, but still got him flush on the head with a very intentional shoulder charge even if he may have been aiming more at the ribs.

Would be hard to prove he intentionally went for the head as Bullock was falling a bit but it was a shoulder charge and it hit i'm in the head as hard as I have ever seen a shoulder charge hit the head.

It was pretty bad. Bullock fell slightly but Paasi basically came in and launched his shoulder/torso at Bullock's head. Bullock looked like he was knocked out instantly. I

How is luani playing ??

 

[Tap_Twist_Snap]

Suspected broken jaw for Bullock. :frowning:

 

[Yossarian]

Fine goes over from dummy half. 18 all with ktc

 

[Yossarian]

How is luani playing ??

He's been good. Played a bit of dummy half, bit of back row

 

[Yossarian]

Paea misses the kick. He's an ordinary goal kicker… 18 all it stays.

 

[Yossarian]

Now he's got another attempt for a penalty goal from a similar spot. Vulcans down to 11 with a sin bin.

Kicks this one. WT 20-18

45 seconds to go

 

[Robz]

I thought Matt Groat played well in the second half… Did plenty of work!

3 points Groat
2 Fine
1 Hitchcox

 

[Yossarian]

Full time. Tigers win 20-18\. Good win. Bizarre lead up to the last penalty. Luani made a line break on the second tackle got a pass to Hitchcox (I think) who then decided to kick the ball instead of preparing for a field goal. Vulcans took an age to collect the ball and one of our boys wanted it more and claimed possession. Next ruck a Vulcan running back on side knocked the ball down (could have been an accident, could have been deliberate). Penalty, sin bin, shot at goal, 2 points. Vulcans then failed to get the kick off 10m.

Groat wins MOM. Very impressive today. 31 tackles 19 hit ups they say. Attitude in post game interview seemed good. He;s got to be a chance at playing NRL again if he stays fit. Looks in good trim.

Everyone was pretty good for us. Mr T was strong again. Madden was a bit erratic - he actually looked like he was auditioning for Marshall's spot . Forwards were strong.

Matt Groat got man of the match on Foxtel. He looks ready for another shot at first grade and a chance to earn a contract for 2014.

 

[Newtown]

neck brace is likely precautionary…i hope.

May also have broken jaw according to TV report.
