Drinkwater try

 

[Farmduck]

55min: Drinkwater runs through Manly defence from 10m out

[Graham]

Cowboys are playing with both pace and precision. Manly often just hanging on and giving too many set restarts.

[Farmduck]

Holmes goals

Cows 19 - 8

[Graham]

1908 the year the Model T was launched.

[Farmduck]

Manly's last couple of attacking sets were clueless

[Farmduck]

Taulagi "try" rejected for double movement.

[Farmduck]

FT: NQ Cowboys  19  Manly  8

 

It has to be said Manly were awful at times but, you can only beat the team that turns up and the Cows did that.

[Farmduck]

[Farmduck]

4 Smiths on show tonight. Are they forming a guild or something? At least, with 2 Butchers out there, they'll be well-fed.

[Farmduck]

Kayo is slipping behind again. I think I'll watch this one later.

[Graham]

The margin flattered Manly.

They were well beaten. They looked shattered in that second half, though they didn’t crumble.

I thought Garrick had a stand-out game for Manly all the same.

[Futtocks]

Coates opens the scoring with an intercept and a length of the field try.

[JohnM]

"The Giraffe" is over in the corner!  We need more nicknames like that.

[Futtocks]

Nice break from Keary, and Tupou scores from the next play. Suaalii's conversion hooks just left and it is 4:6 after 35 minutes.

[Graham]

HT

Roosters 4 - 6 Storm

[Futtocks]

A double-whammy for the Roosters - conceding a try, plus Radley's done something the disciplinary board may well act upon. Again.

[bobbruce]

How is that not a knock on. 

[Graham]

18-4 Storm with about 20 minutes to go 

[JohnM]

Stormin' Storm. Relentless pressure on Rooster's line.  4 - 24  with more points to come,  I reckon.

[Graham]

Storm dominating possession.

X man gets his hat-trick.

[Graham]

With 5 minutes remaining Storm rest Grant and Munster

[Graham]

Manu flick pass to Tupou who scores a consolation try on 78 minutes.

[JohnM]

Dan the Man in for Roosters with 2.50 to go.   Storm 30, tothers 10

[Graham]

FT

Roosters 16 - 30 Storm
