Tuesday's Expert Wrap - NRL Round 2

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

The Dragons continued their strong start to the season, backing up a Round 1 win with a dominant victory over the Warriors in Auckland, while many teams had contrasting fortunes to their prior efforts. Canterbury, the Roosters, Sea Eagles and Tigers all bounced back from disappointing Round 1 losses to record wins this week, while the Eels came crashing back down to earth along with disappointing showings from the Rabbitohs, Titans and Cowboys. The Broncos and Storm joined the Dragons as the only undefeated sides so far, while Cronulla, Newcastle and the Warriors sit winless at the foot of the table after a fortnight of NRL action.
