[Farmduck]

 

Manly has lost 2 players in the first 4 minutes. Dylan Walker badly twisted knee and Brad Parker knocked out cold. There didn;t seem to be any contact on Parker by Papalii, maybe Papalii's knee hit the ball and pushed it up into Parker's chin then he hit his head on the ground? Either way he was unconscious.

[Farmduck]

37min: Tevita Funa try.  Garrick converts. Manly 12-0
