Five takeaways from tonight’s matches

The NSW Blues seem to have lost the most today with Tom Trbojevic and Nathan Cleary both suffering hamstring injuries. Tommy Turbo is facing up to eight weeks out while Cleary’s fate will be known in the coming days.The Eels tried really hard but sometimes that isn’t enough.The Bulldogs lost to Penrith, but their new-found confidence won’t have taken a hit. Penrith will again be without Cleary for a while, but tip against them at your peril.Pasta with a sauce of butter, cracked pepper and parmesan cheese is a delicious dinner option.

Eels woes extended

The full-time hooter is four minutes away - but it’s all over the Eels. They’ve tried really hard, but those two long-range tries they conceded in the first half have proven too much. They now have a 3-6 record. That’s not how finals teams usually start their season. Mitchell Moses is expected back next week but with Melbourne to provide the opposition at Magic Round in Brisbane more pain could be on the way.

Haas pass finds grass

You have to supply a post when a headline like that appears. In all seriousness, the hulking Brisbane prop came very close to setting up a try. His winding run was the last thing you’d expect from a prop. If his pass had been on the money, it would have been a stellar try. Tonight’s crowd is 17,393. Brisbane lead 30-14 after 68 minutes.

Cobbo and Co. deliver a highlight

Reece Walsh and Selwyn Cobbo, you can both take a bow after that. Walsh delivered a perfectly weighted - and shaped - kick which Cobbo somehow managed to plant down just before reaching the deadball line. Parramatta are in real trouble now - they trail by 16 points and Ryan Matteron is on report for a hair pull. Yep, that’s right. Brisbane lead Parramatta 30-14 after 60 minutes.
