[Farmduck]

68min: Warriors try? It was a huge shemozzle in the in-goal, trying to field the high kick .... 

Harris Tevita try.

Nik O'Rima goal.

Warriors 26 - 36

[Farmduck]

Silly play by Manly prop Zac Saddler. He was so intent on getting into some shoving with the marker he forgot to play the ball.

[Farmduck]

72min: Penalty to Manly. Keppie stayed on the ground holding the back of his neck. Replays showed no crusher-adjacent activity but penalty????

Garrick kicks the goal from 20m out, straight in front.

Manly 38 - 26

[Farmduck]

75min: Typical!! I'm draining the python and Reese Walsh try. Nikorima goal.

Warriors  32 - 38

[Farmduck]

In the 80th min, Maumalo heads for the corner but Saab and T-Turbo drive him across the sideline about 2m out.

 

FT:   Manly  38   Warriors  32

22min:   

Norman converts.  6 - 0

[Farmduck]

I don't know what the error count is here but, by HT it will probably match the final score at Brookvale.

[Graham]

Morning, afternoon  all

[Graham]

Dufty nearly through, but dropped the ball!

[Farmduck]

HT:   St George  6  Doggeeeez  0

 

[Farmduck]

Morning. Dreadful game this.

[Graham]

Yes, I’ve got up and watched ten minutes of the game before half time. It seems I’ve woken up to a nightmare! 

[Graham]

Flanagan taken off at half time “for tactical reasons.”

[Farmduck]

One of the Feagai twins gets a try. Norman missed the goal. St George 10 - 0

[Graham]

Matt Feagui over in corner for Dragons. No errors since half time.

Good move resulted in a try in the corner.

[Farmduck]

Then Dogs kick the restart out on the full.

[Farmduck]

Dreadful blunder in the in-goal by Dogs leads to a Jack Bird try.

[Graham]

Bird obstructed there when chasing the kick through, but no matter as he charged on and got the touchdown while the Dogs defence seemed to freeze.

[Farmduck]

Bunker checking the try .... knock-on. NO TRY.

DWZ will feel a lot better now.

Hopoate gets 10 mins in bin for obstructing chaser.

[Graham]

No try says bunker. Not put down cleanly.

Dogman sent to bin.

[Farmduck]

So, if Bird was close enough to knock on but his run was obstructed, isn't it a reasonable assumption he could have grounded it correctly if he wasn't obstructed?

[Farmduck]

Now Paul Vaughan crosses but ref suspects obstruction.

Bunker says TRY.

[Graham]

That looked a try all over from the match camera as it happened. 
Everything checked now.

Still 10-0
