'Absurd': Allianz Stadium Critics Score Try at NRL's Farcical Scenes
NRL fans and experts alike have been left dumbfounded after witnessing bizarre scenes unfold at the relatively young Allianz Stadium on Friday night.
Reported by news.com.au, spectators and sportscasters alike are scratching their heads over what transpired at Allianz Stadium during the Roosters' dominant victory over the Parramatta Eels on Friday night.
In a showdown between the top offensive team in the NRL and the second worst defensive squad, the third-ranked Roosters handedly defeated the struggling Eels 38-14.
Surprisingly, it was the weather conditions that stole the spotlight.
Following a pleasant day in Sydney on Friday, a sudden heavy downpour just an hour before kick-off resulted in massive water puddles forming all over the field by the time the 8pm game began.
In a strange turn of events, the 6pm match-up between the Sea Eagles and Warriors endured rain during play but managed to avoid the significant puddling that plagued the later game.
