Result

Manly Sea Eagles 18 - 26 Sydney Roosters

Manly comeback just too late in the game. Roosters held on with a battered bench  with Morris leg iced.

So far the Bunnies have bought into Benny's philosophy and Storm have started this season looking less clunky than last year, so it will be another few rounds before a more likely top 4 emerges inc those two!

9min: Reimis Smith drops the ball trying to score in the corner. Still, it was a rare thing to see a Doggies backline move with smooth fast passing and some attacking structure. Dogs getting most of the ball.
