Thanks for the updates FD. Missed the end, had to go out.

Roosters looking the business there . Pushed by a good confident Eels outfit but they flexed  their muscles and showed why they’re champs and favourites to go back to back . And Victor Radley scored so I was happy . Eels will do ok this year though . 

Raiders and Knights was a bit of a grind but Bateman lit that game up with an outstanding 80 minute performance , along with Hodgson who called the shots . Good to see our guys doing well

but then, just as I was clipping that screenshot, DCE crosses under the posts then converts

Manly 12 - 6

[Farmduck]

17min: Joel Thompson crosses but did he ground the ball before the dead ball line? ......yes he does.  TRY

I only switched the TV on 5 minutes ago and 2 tries already!!!!!

DCE converts. 18 - 6

[Farmduck]

24: Issac Luke try. Keighran goal. Warriors 12 - 18

[Farmduck]

Manly are wearing their Maori design today

 

33mni: Reuben Garrick crosses in the corner for the C-Beagles but last pass called forward.

[Farmduck]

36min: Manase Fainu try for Brookvalians. That was a bit embarrassing. 3 Warriors stared at the huge gap there but nobody did anything.

Manly 24 - 12

[Farmduck]

Contentious HT. I guess the sound on TV is a bit delayed. Warriors had a PTB 10m out from Manly's line and the refs called HT. It looked like he had played it before the siren but NO.

HT:  Manly  24   Warriors  12

[Farmduck]

Plenty to watch, even if the defence isn't great. RTS has already run 172m and Tom Turbo 100m+

[Farmduck]

57min: Absurd moment here. Scrum clock buzzed and now bothe refs and about 5 players are debating whether it should be a penalty because the refs held up the scrum trying to get one of the Warrior's pack to go off for blood repairs. They should have penalised the Warriors and given the player 10 in the bin for refusing to go off when the ref told him to.

 

58min: Nice break by Tom Turbo sends DCE under the posts. DCE converts.  30 - 12

[Farmduck]

64min: DCE penalty.  32 - 12

[Farmduck]

65min: T-Turbo one-handed gathers a fluke rebound from a DCE kick and scores.

DCE goal. 38 - 12

[Farmduck]

70min: Manly hit 40 when Jorge Taufua crosses. DCE misses the kick.

 

Manly 42  -  12

[Farmduck]

77: Warriors finally cross in the second half but Peta Hiku gets one finger on the ball to knock on and kill a try.

[Farmduck]

78min: Reuben Garrick try for the Northen Beachers. A blunder in goal at one end and Manly doged a bullet. Then an in goal blunder at the other end and Manly try. DCE misses the kick.

The Siren of Mercy finally comes for the NZers.

 

 

Manly 46 - 12 Warriors
