Goodnight!

Thanks for your company over the past couple of days. I did find time to do a Set Of Six so you can get my thoughts on the future of the Nines there. Stupid Saturday will be back on March 4. See ya!

Fulltime in the 2017 NRL Nines final at Eden Park: SYDNEY ROOSTERS 10 PENRITH 8

Malakai Watene-Zelezniak sneaks over in the left corner for the Panthers' first try. The conversion attempt is just too hard. Sydney Roosters 10-4. The Roosters looked to have sealed it but the ball was lost over the line. Who do you think was the original "Johnny On The Spot"? Have to look that up. Nathan Cleary scores a wonderful individual try from halfway, looking left and right and slicing through. The conversion attempt misses. Sydney Roosters 10-8.
