NRL: Bulldogs 13, Eels 10
The Canterbury Bulldogs have scored the tournament’s first boilover with Corey Harawira-Naera scoring a crunch time try to beat arch enemies Parramatta 13-10.
While the previous two matches were one-sided affairs, a defensive tussle typically ensued between the long-time rivals.
The Eels scored first with Blake Ferguson flying through the air for a crowd-pleasing try in the corner.
Canterbury responded with Morgan Harper’s converted try for a 6-4 lead before Jaeman Salmon broke the defensive line for a solo try to put Parra ahead 10-6 lead at the break.
The Eels couldn’t build on their lead and the Dogs stole their thunder with Harawira-Naera’s bonus zone try two minutes from full-time.

The only points of the first half went to the Eels through a late try to Haze Dunster.
Cody Ramsey got the Dragons on the board early in the second half before the Eels took control late in the match.

NRL Eels 14, Knights 7
Parramatta became the first team through to the semi-finals after overcoming the previously unbeaten Newcastle Knights 14-7 in the opening quarter-final.
Off-season recruit Ryan Matterson’s early try put the Eels on the front foot.
Parra had their second try in the seventh minute, with towering backrower Shaun Lane putting it on a plate for Haze Dunster to score. Brad Takairani converted for a 10-0 half-time lead, leaving the undefeated Knights with plenty of work to do in the second half.
Newcastle got exactly the start they needed when Tex Hoy raced 70m to claim a crucial bonus zone try, trimming the deficit to 10-7.
The Eels gave themselves breathing space with Blake Ferguson’s try and they kept their line intact in the closing minutes to claim victory.

NRL Dragons 8, Eels 6
Centre Tim Lafai crashed over for a try in the dying seconds to lift St George Illawarra to a heart-stopping 8-6 win over Parramatta and into the final.
The Eels went into the tournament as title favourites and were moments away from clinching a place in the decider when Lafai stole their thunder at the death.
The win avenged a 15-7 loss to Parra earlier in the day.
St George Illawarra scored first, with Lafai sending Mikaele Ravalawa over for a try midway through the first half.
The Eels remained scoreless before Jaeman Salmon finished off a slick sequence late in the half that went from one side of the field to the other. Mitch Moses converted for a 6-4 half-time lead.
Defence dominated attack in the second half, as both teams searched for an all-important second try.
The Dragons had their prayers answered and face the winner of the second semi-final between the Cowboys and Titans.
