Tuesday's Expert Wrap - NRL Round 22

We've arrived at the end of Round 22 of the 2014 National Rugby League Telstra Premiership! Check out all the results, reports and player of the year points right here.

A controversial opening to the weekend saw the Rabbitohs down the Sea Eagles at the historic SCG on Friday night, while up north the Brisbane Broncos were far too strong for Canterbury at Suncorp Stadium. Saturday saw the Knights upset Melbourne at Hunter, the Cowboys put the cleaners through a lacklustre Tigers side in Townsville, and the Eels took their clash with Canberra to Darwin and the move paid off with an 18-10 win. Sunday's results featured a Warriors win over Cronulla in Auckland and the Panthers defending stoically to down the Dragons in Wollongong, before a small crowd of diehards watched the Roosters hold out a courageous Titans at Allianz Stadium on Monday night.
