NRL Round 13 Summary

Tigers grind it out to put Knights away
Tigers 33 def Knights 14
The Wests Tigers overcame a slippery park and 60 minutes of grind, to finally put the Knights to the sword today at EnergyAustralia Stadium. The Knights fielding a tonne on rookies, did a fair job of making a contest of it and were right in the match until late. The Tigers were helped by a good Robbie Farrah showing, the hooker was dangerous all day and constructed play well with new boy Chris Lawrence still finding his feet at pivot. The Knights can be happy with the performance of Hinton at fullback and Brad Tighe who was probably their best player.

Storm just pip Warriors in low scoring affair
Storm 4 def Warriors 2
The NZ Warriors are now 0 from their last 6 matches and really in a world of pain ladder wise. The NZ outfit toiled well and nearly scraped through with a massive upset. The Storm didn't score their try until the final 10 minutes with this match being the lowest scoring NRL match since 1993.

Roosters finally light up, thrashing Cowboys
Roosters 64 def Cowboys 30
The Bondi boys finally found some spark in attack, and despite a wet pitch - managed to rack up 64 points in a try fest against the starless Cowboys. The North Queenslanders were very sloppy and have obvious problems minus their Origin stars. This will be the medicine the Roosters need to get some confidence, only needing to improve focus in defence. Kenny-Dowell bagging a triple in an absolute try fest at Aussie Stadium

Canberra blitz Eels early to win in 11 minutes
Canberra 38 def Eels 10
It was the Green Machine in the first twenty minutes at Bruce Stadium on Saturday night, as the Raiders ran in 4 tries inside 11 minutes to crush the high flying Eels. A near perfect display of handling, play execution and some good bounces allowed the Raiders to put the game beyond doubt very early on. The game got spiteful as the teams knew it was over, and plenty of sin binning was to follow. Weymann lucky to not be sent, after smashing Cordoba high and then getting his freak on with fellow fat man Mark Piggy Riddell.
