[Farmduck]

Crowd for the Wests game: 8658

 

It's hard to justify taking games to suburban grounds if less than 9K turn up.

[Graham]

I have no love of Manly.

Looks like Buhrer try

Yes

12-8

[Graham]

Conversion missed.

... but Lyon helped set that try up.

Hoodoo?

[Farmduck]

Jamie Buhrer scores. He played for my local team for a couple of years as a kid - the Riverstone Razorbacks. Then he moved to Hills District Bulls, across Windsor Rd but in the Parra Junior District and he was lost to the Penrith catchment.

 

Sharks lead 12-8 but not looking convincing.

[Graham]

Manly have stepped up their game here.

[Graham]

Some Sharks fans looking glum despite them leading.

Manly look they now believe they can win this.

[Graham]

Manly in the corner resulting from a repeat set.

Winger Braden Wiliame gets it.

12-12

Conversion for the lead from sideline... not quite.

12-12 then

53 minutes gone.

[Sports Prophet]

Sharks to a script

[Farmduck]

Weird game. At the start the Sharks were sloppy but looked very threatening. Then they tightened up their play and looked in control but not as threatening. So what should they do now?

[Graham]

Sharks under the cosh here. It's all Sea Eagles.

[Graham]

Sharks should maybe try to be creative.

[Graham]

How close are those Sharks fans to the game behind the Eagles goal.

[dunno much]

Cmon manly!

[Graham]

Maloney going for penalty goal.

Yes

Sharks lead 14-12 despite scoring fewer tries.

[dunno much]

How long to go GLD?

[Graham]

Manly over.

Bunker checking

[Graham]

No try

Stewart took Barba out.

Sharks breathe again...just.

[Graham]

11 minutes left Dunno

[Irish Saint]

Mornin all bunker correct with their decision. 10 mins to go

[dunno much]

Thanks mate

[Graham]

Barba try

[Irish Saint]

Barber over get in there

[Graham]

Sharks suddenly switched on. They found what Farmduck thought they'd lost.

[Irish Saint]

[Graham]
