last week of the season and only two ‘dead’ games (manly v wests, titans v bulldogs)…thats amazing. Also amazing that the schedule has those two at the two least favourable times for TV ratings, given that unlike AFL, dates and times are set at the start of the season.

The 2 matches are being refereed by the 2 NRL female referees. Both are making their solo NRL debut,although Belinda Sharpe did feature as a co referee when the NRL had 2 refs pre Covid.

Tolu Koula try within 40 seconds

[Futtocks]

Manly with a very early try, as Koula just burns everyone with speed.

[Farmduck]

9min: Koroisau try + goal

6 - 6

[Graham]

Koroisau ties it up with a solo try and goal kick.

[Graham]

Great try there by Koula.

Great teamwork before he got the ball then some pace and skill from him to score.

[Graham]

12-6 Manly

[Graham]

Saab try

not goaled 

16-6 Manly

[Futtocks]

A second Saab try, despite trying their best to botch it.

Ethan Bullemore leaves it late in the season to avoid the nudie run.

Blowing out now - 32:6.

[Futtocks]

DCE crosses the line after a great break, but gives it to Jake Turbo so he can score in his 200th game.

[Futtocks]

The Tigers manage to cross the line for a second time... but the bunker says no.

54:6

[Spotty Herbert]

Wests have given up. Most of them are already on Mad Monday in their heads.

[Futtocks]

Tim Sheens finishes off his stint at Wests with a FT score of Manly 54:12 Wests.

[Futtocks]

Right, now for a rubber that is very much alive.

[Vambo]

Really looking forward to this one. Hope it fulfills it's potential to be an absolute belter.

[JohnM]

Game's not really come alive yet, though Roosters now 4 up after 12 mins. Bumper crowd of 40K I think.

[Futtocks]

Sam Walker is looking lively.

Applause at the 15 minute mark to commemorate Kyle Turner.

[Futtocks]

Stadium music segues from 'Spanish Flea' to 'Pretty Vacant'. Eclectic.

[JohnM]

Game - and crowd - come alive at last.
