Round 11 of the NRL brought us plenty of shock results, nervous moments through injury and as always, a few hearty laughs.
It made for plenty of excellent Twitter fodder and the good people of the internet delivered once again.
Eels v Panthers
Wonder what motivated Cleary before the game…
If NSW wants a halfback that’s in good form at kicking off, I’ll concede, Cleary is your boy.#NRLEelsPanthers

If this clip doesn’t make the end of season highlight reel, someone needs to resign
Well Dylan Edwards certainly found that funny – as did the crowd 🤣#NRLEelsPanthers #NRLIndigenous Round pic.twitter.com/5SAndnypXS

Manly v Titans
Another upset kicked off Friday night’s games, but in all fairness buddy, we’ve been there too.
May as well give up tipping after that. #NRLManlyTitans

Ever had the chance to show off in front of your ex?

Raiders v Cowboys
You can always count on Ricky reactions to cheer you up…
A tough loss for @RaidersCanberra today, going down 22-16 to North Queensland.
Ricky Stuart summed it up pretty well: “I don’t see any positives out of that game. At all…”#NRL #NRLRaidersCowboys pic.twitter.com/jQYd2nQznR

Then again, maybe they deserved it just for producing this…
30 | TRY OLDFIELD!!!! The Tongan puts the Raiders level as he pounces on a Williams grubber. 8-8, ktc.

Warriors v Broncos
Something, something… make them pallbearers to let them down one more time…
“I can’t believe the Warriors lost that game”. Put it on my gravestone #NRLWarriorsBroncos

Rabbits v Tigers
Yep, Souths won (again) but the biggest question from this game emerged off the field…
Hey @ANZStadium! Can you tell me what’s kept behind this door in Aisle 123? #NRLSouthsTigers pic.twitter.com/vu064jtyPV

Bulldogs v Storm
It wasn’t a great afternoon for the Bulldogs, going down to the storm but this probably didn’t help either.
