Tuesday's Expert Wrap - NRL Round 12

We've arrived at the end of the Round 12 of the 2014 National Rugby League Telstra Premiership! Check out all the results, reports and player of the year points right here.

For the second straight week the round opened with just a single fixture on Friday night following the excitement of State of Origin I. Penrith took the sword to an injury ravaged Parramatta who lost Jarryd Hayne pre-game following soreness from Wednesday's fixture, then Nathan Peats mid-game with what's now confirmed as a season ending ACL injury. Saturday saw the Sydney Roosters burst out of the blocks and finish comfortable winners over Canberra before the Cowboys kept a Cronk and Slater-less Storm scoreless in Townsville. The Warriors accounted for a gallant Knights outfit on Sunday before Brisbane destroyed Manly with an opening flurry of tries later in the afternoon. Monday night saw the Rabbitohs account for a listless Dragons side.
