Tuesday's Expert Wrap - NRL Round 6

We've arrived at the end of the Round 6 of the 2014 National Rugby League Telstra Premiership! Check out all the results, reports and player of the year points right here.

Another barely tippable round is complete with the Storm picking up a famous, if not controversial Monday night win; the Bulldogs also escaping late in spite of questionable decision making in Auckland; the Titans maintaining the competition lead with a gritty win over local rivals Brisbane, and amazingly, the Eels overturning a 56-4 second round loss to the Roosters, defeating the defending premiers 14-12 at Pirtek Stadium. Worryingly for the game ahead of an exciting easter weekend, the crowds were well down - barely more than 107,000 attended across eight matches, with less than 10,000 posted at no less than three of the weekend's fixtures.
