Summary
Thank you for joining me tonight. What an absorbing game of footy that became.
Parramatta looked the more assured in the opening half, executing some silky combinations, but Melbourne clung on, and came out for the second half rejuvenated. They won the kicking duel – or more precisely the kick-chase duel – and in a tight contest that established territorial ascendancy and momentum.
Once we entered Golden Point it was anyone’s game but unfortunately for Eels supporters their heroes made a hash of things when they could least afford to.
If this is the start of things to come, it’s going to be another super season of rugby league. I can’t wait for you to join me here again.
What a start to the season.
