Tuesday's Expert Wrap - NRL Round 15

We've arrived at the end of Round 15 of the 2014 National Rugby League Telstra Premiership! Check out all the results, reports and player of the year points right here.

The Bulldogs returned to the winners list to open the weekend with a chilly victory over Canberra in the nation's capital before Saturday saw the Warriors win over Brisbane in Auckland and the Sharks held scoreless for the third time in a row by Manly at Remondis. Sunday delivered a big win for the Storm over an Eels side who hasn't won (yes, this is a real stat) in their away jersey at all in the last two seasons, while up north the Gold Coast suffered another defeat, this time at the hands of the Dragons. Newcastle managed to break their seven match winless streak against the Cowboys on Monday night, which now means the Cowboys haven't won outside Townsville since September last year. Manly and Penrith lead the competition after this round, with the Rabbitohs, Roosters and Bulldogs hot on their heels.
