Round 14 provided us with plenty of talking points heading into the State of Origin Game 2 next Sunday night. Pearce did his best to avoid selection, while it seems as though Kevvie Walters has given orders for his QLD troops to take it easy at club level.
Yet again, round 14 of the NRL gave us plenty to Tweet about and it’s all here in another epic edition of Around the Tweets!
SUNDAY
Roosters 38 – 12 Bulldogs

Say what you will about Kieran Foran but his performance of “Shallow” at the Academy Awards with Lady Gaga really had me feeling things #NRLRoostersBulldogs pic.twitter.com/H1uAtEA3ax

So what will be the excuse from McGregor this week? Injuries? Referees? Weather? Aliens? Got to be running out of excuses by now, time to look in the mirror and see the problem head-on. #redv #NRLManlyDragons #nrl @NRL_Dragons

The harsh reality of being a Parra Eels fan, being up 26-0 and still being nervous about cocking it up #NRLEelsBroncos

What a ClubMannah
It is now clear that Parra actually sacrificed Tim Mannah & offered his soul up to the Dark Gods in return for a Top 8 spot.
What a clubman.#NRLEelsBroncos

Great bit of grubbery from @camsmith9 in that tackle on Ese Ese, hold and pull the wrist, fall on the shoulder – classic grapple submission move.#NRLStormKnights

Pearce suffers traumatic Origin flashbacks mid game against the QLD Storm.
Pearce has been in State Of Origin form in this game. He is invisible. Leaving all the playmaking decisions to Ponga. Its ok though because his form against good opposition doesn't count.#NRLStormKnights #RugbyLeague #NRL

This game is proving Pearce shouldn’t be in origin #NRLStormKnights

If Mitchell Pearce plays State of Origin for NSW after this game, may as well give QLD the shield now. Gone missing. @ReadingThePlay please tell me hasnt already been selected? #NRLStormKnights #NRL #stateoforigin

Raiders 22 – 20 Sharks
Fatty fumble.
Fatty just said Wade Graham was influential in the Blues beating Queensland last season.
Wade Graham didn't even play Origin last season.
How does he still have a job?#NRLRaidersSharks
