Good night!
Has Fairfax ever done a blog that goes for eight and a half hours with just one person? They have now - and I think tomorrow is longer. Hey, it was fun. Hopefully there will be time to do a Set of Six for Monday's paper too. Just jotting down some ideas now. See you for #sillysunday
Fulltime at Eden Park: SYDNEY ROOSTERS 14 SOUTH SYDNEY 7

Halftime at Eden Park: SYDNEY ROOSTERS 8 SOUTH SYDNEY 0
Paul Momirovski is our first scorer in the last game of the day. We're getting close to a century of touchdowns now. Sydney Roosters 4-0. We're getting a pattern here of a handful of players really dominating the tournament. Connor Watson is one such players, scoring for the tricolours just then. Sydney Roosters 8-0.

Young gun Kalyn Ponga takes a pass off Thurston, stutters just a little and then accelerates like shot out of a cannon to score another Cowboys try. North Queensland 21-0. Gala-Mosby has another helping fof the spoils now. What a tournament he is having. North Queensland 28-0. Ponga again, outside Adam Clydsdale after holding the ball out in front of him and skipping to the right. North Queensland 35-0. Thomas Cronan scores his second try for the tournament and it was a good one, avoiding a Nines record scoreline. North Queensland 35-6
Footwork from Ponga!

Halftime at Eden Park: NORTH QUEENSLAND 14 CANBERRA 0
Johnathan Thurston almost scores from a Raiders error but in the end it mattered not. From the scrum win, team-mate Kyle Feldt waltzes over. North Queensland 4 Canberra 0. Now Javid Bowen crosses on the left after palming off his opposite number. North Queensland 10-0. Gideon Gela-Mosby gets airbourne for his latest try. Does this trend by wingers put more pressure on photographers to get the shot?
