Have you ever?
Ever felt like this?
When Rugby League happens are you going ‘Round the Tweets?
Another big round of NRL and another round of Tweet goodness. We’ve got it all covered in Around the Tweets.
SUNDAY:
Knights 28 def. Eels 14
After a tough week of soul searching for the Newcastle Knights, they managed to do a number on the highly fancied Parramatta on their home deck and breath a bit of life back into their 2019 season.
This man was full of praise for Knights coach Nathan Brown
Nathan Brown career highlights in chronological order:
1. Slapping Trent Barrett
2. Making a joke about Wayne Bennett’s dick
3. Beating the 2018 wooden spoonersTime for a contract extension. #NRLKnightsEels

There are always many conspiracy theories on Twitter about the referees, but this one may have some merit
Something tells me the Parramatta Eels nicked this refs girl from him at the local Blue Light Disco in 1998. #NRLKnightsEels

Gee whiz, the referees must have had a shocker if this is happening

And the most talked about cold shoulder of the weekend was finally addressed by Gus Gould in the Channel 9 pre-game show.
Gus explains THAT incident with Billy on Friday night. 🤣🤣

SUNDAY ARVO:
Manly 24 def. Raiders 20
Many were able to get the job done over Canberra at Brookvale Oval but the talk was all about skipper Daly Cherry-Evans leaving the field early with a suspected ankle injury.
An injury scare has gone through the @SeaEagles camp after Daly Cherry-Evans hurt his ankle in the 24-20 win over the @RaidersCanberra. DCE was removed from the field, but should expect results tomorrow according to Des Hasler. #NRLManlyRaiders #NRL 📷:AAP https://t.co/umKPpyrBqy pic.twitter.com/xZHXwIzsSz

But some reckon Manly are better off without the bloke!
Wow. The key takeout from that game: Manly looking much better without DCE – Des really has some big decisions coming up #NRLManlyRaiders #clubincrisis pic.twitter.com/eqa21r8gCa

Who knew DCE was holding this Manly attack back? On fire now #NRLManlyRaiders

Turns out this is one of the top reviews for Brookvale Oval on TripAdvisor as well – language warning kids.
What an absolute cunt of a joint Brookvale Oval is. Never again #NRLManlyRaiders

SATURDAY NIGHT:
Broncos 29 – Sharks 6
It was the Anthony Milford show at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night as the Brisbane Broncos got a much needed and convincing win over the Sharks who lost Shaun Johnson with a hamstring injury and were injury-ravaged in general.
You get the feeling that some want the Broncos not to do well.
Corey Parker: "Everyone wants to see the Broncos succeed"…. um no thanks champ #NRL #NRLBroncosSharks

Somebody get the Aloe Vera Intensive Care because this is quite the burn.
Kids who aren't immunised should look to have a Rugby League career at Cronulla, because they're fucking no chance of catching anything #NRLBroncosSharks
— Brendan Johnson (@the_red_heifer) April 27, 2019
But really it was the efforts of Anthony Milford that was the story of the night, he’ll get free upgrades at any Brisbane McDonald’s store for life.
Well done Anthony Milford our @Maccas Man of the Match thanks to the Broncos Burger supporting families with sick kids. 50c from every burger supports Ronald McDonald House SEQ pic.twitter.com/lg60qgA8XG

SATURDAY:
Wests Tigers 30 def. Gold Coast Titans 14
The Neds derby was held in Tamworth and the Tigers got the job done over the Titans.
These teams are like our children and we love them both equally.
Twitter was split about Dan Ginnane calling the game.

What the hell is @DanGinnane doing on Fox Sports commentary? D: #NRLTigersTitans

THURSDAY NIGHT:
Storm 13 def. Warriors 12
A Brodie Croft field goal managed to get Melbourne Storm home on ANZAC Day. Yet again, Storm performing the great escape.
So much love for Storm’s ability to carve out a win.
Well of course Slater will defend that decision, good on Thurston for saying what all of us saw. Warriors ripped off. @Channel9 #NRLStormWarriors
— Sandy (@sandyhunter2) April 25, 2019
Death, Taxes and the refs bailing the storm out of trouble #NRLStormWarriors
— Sean Lucey (@Sean_Lucey) April 25, 2019
Hey storms fans, this is why everyone hates the storm. This exact match. Fucking gifted another win. #NRLStormWarriors
— Smokey Johansson (@smokeyjoh) April 25, 2019
#NRLStormWarriors sorry but I have to say that was the worst call of the year. To hand the game to Melbourne. What a disgrace. Fuck this shit I'm out.
— Possum Magic (@Easter_B_Bunny) April 25, 2019
Easy explanation : It’s the storm and they are losing

ANZAC DAY:
Roosters 20 def. Dragons 10
The Roosters got the job done over Dragons in their annual ANZAC day hitout at the SCG.
There was more love for the refs.
These refs are FUCKED. everything in their power to make Dragons lose this. #NRLRoostersDragons
— George Y (@rvpredv) April 25, 2019
wow… SOME utterly ROTTEN refs today – they can 'see' forward passed from Dragons, but everything else is OK for the Roosters…. obstruction, shepherd whatever they want… pic.twitter.com/y5xqr9PBoo

It was a real Ben Hunt of a match.
I don't think I've ever seen Ben Hunt drop a ball at a critical time before.@NRLshitNo1says #NRLRoostersDragons
— Former Legend (@Former_legend) April 25, 2019
No matter the outcome of the match, this is always stirring stuff on Anzac Day. Lest we forget.
