    What a great game, Cleary with a 2 point drop goal in the last second of the match.

    Quality game, well worth a watch…

    I couldn't get tired of punching Cleary though.
    Wish he played for us though.

    The thread title doesn't give the result away.

    Thought it would have been quite obvious a thread with this title might mention the score and you wouldn't click of you were trying to avoid but maybe that's just me!

    Doesn't give the score away but at a certain point in the game you'll know it's coming haha

    Doesn't give the score away but it gives away the entire flow of the game. Maybe it just me but I prefer to know nothing at all going into games. I don't even watch film trailers for the same reason.

    I must have missed the reasoning re the two point drop goal. Is that because it was a play directly after a penalty, or is it standard in the NRL now for drop goals to be worth two points? Apologies for my ignorance, could someone let me know. Cheers.

    It's because it was more than 40m out; it's been a rule for a couple of years over there now.

    Thanks YG. I haven't noticed it before. I'm not sure I'd like it here, smacks too much of kick and clap brigade. Thanks again.

    Or “sorry about that, I’ll change the thread title to a spoiler so it doesn’t impact others in the same way”would be a better response maybe?

    Well, it sort of does gives way too much away, doesn't it? It means everybody knows that it goes to the last kick of normal time, so you might as well skip the first 79 minutes.

    I've had mates who I've asked not to tell me the score and they give me "I won't, but it was a great game". So, if one team goes 18-0 up that I want to win, I know that there's no point in relaxing. You are always second-guessing.

    I remember being at City once in 2000 and the plan was to watch Leeds v Saints in the Cup when I got at home. My mate said "sounds like a cracking game". Therefore, all the way through, I'm thinking, this is going to be a draw. We pulled it back to 20-18 with a try out wide and I didn't even need to watch the touchline conversion, because I knew Longy would nail it to make it 20-20. OK, so we actually lost 26-20, because they scored deep into stoppage time (BBC didn't do exact time then), but I was right, because he confessed later that when he had told me, the score was indeed 20-20.

    Astonishing from Nathan Cleary. What a player he his.

    I mean he was smart and skilful enough to put the penalty out on the 40m line to set up the 2pt dg, and then to hit it so sweetly - that’s a clutch play.

    Also interesting that Penrith seem to be suffering their own WCC hangover.

    Said it last year, for me, he's the best all-round player in the world. He can do everything!

    Absolutely cracking game that got more and more exciting as it went on - cherry on the cake the ultimate kick to win it. How cool was Cleary taking the pass?

    It is a spoiler, it quite literally spoils 79 minutes of the game because you know exactly what it's working towards.

    Or grow a pair and take the thread on its intended merits. It was purely to start conversation. wrong thread or not if you don’t want to know a rugby league result don’t to trawling rugby league apps.

    Ive seen it loads about other games on this app, this is no different

    You don't need to react this way you know. Nobody said anything untowards until you started acting like a toddler with your happy to help post. Quite amusing you're know insinuating the other way.

    All it needed was a change of thread title but for some reason you've decided to fight the world. Don't know if you've had a bad day but get yourself a beer and enjoy the game.
