PENALTY DOLPHINS - And they fail to find touch.... oh dear.
PENALTY ROOSTERS - They get a piggy back out of their half again.
PENALTY ROOSTERS - They find touch on halfway
So many passes! Nawaqanitawase almost got taken into touch near the Dolphins line, he offloaded back in to Tedesco. He then quickly gets it onto Toia who has a run at the Dolphins line, but recognising he's not going to get there, flicks it out the back to Savala who immediately pass left to Wong who hits it up and then offloads to Radley who pivots and passes to Dockar-Clay who gets across the line. But the bunker found a small knock-on.

Savala with a great catch and pass to Wong who gets a fantastic flick out the back as soon as he caught the ball which gave Tedesco some space to work with. The fullback turned the ball inside to Toia who skipped out of the cover tackle and he scored on the right side.
My son likes the purple zooper doopers.
