Round 20: Masterchef Bye Week

This week's Roast was all ready to go before we learnt we would be shafted by the timing of the Masterchef grand final and there was no alternate timeslot available. Sorry guys.

So here's a brief summary of last weekend's events:

* Was it a train? Was it a plane? It may very well have been SuperHayne as Jarryd helped the Eels to a smoking start on Friday and despite a Bulldogs comeback, this was a strong win to Parramatta.
* The injury-hit Titans shocked the Dragons with a golden point win. The inclement weather probably helped the underdog but the Dragons must now prove themselves as being able to win big games late in the season.
* Cronulla started strongly coming off a big loss and a coach resignation but Canberra did enough to eke out the win.
* Both teams struggled in Melbourne, but ultimately the Storm was too much for the patchy Panthers.
* Newcastle made a late surge to force extra time, but the Cowboys scored the golden try (albeit from a pass which looked much less than golden) to get the win.
* Souths produced a brilliant second half and some desperate late-game defence to score a morale-boosting win over the streaking Warriors.
* The Tigers started strongly, but Manly held their nerve and exposed Wests' defensive frailties on their way to a fairly convincing win.
* Finally, Brisbane took an hour to get going but get going they did, overwhelming a huge Roosters' lead. But the Roosters hardly flinched and scored the match-winning try with more of their eye-pleasing play.

See you next week.
