NYC Vs Manly updates

[Rooster_6]

76 minutes gone - Roosters D eventually cracks and Number 13 for Manly crashes over from dummy half. 24-12 Roosters

64 minutes gone - Roosters go in again through number 14 (unlisted player). Good left foot step to split the line and cross for a try. 24-4

Does he look like the guy wearing No 9 if so it's J Marsche last years premiership U20's winning half back.

No its not Jesse. Short black hair quite a small kid. Never seen him before. A few players wearing the same numbers and not all listed.

Thanks for the updates.

Cheers for the updates!

O'Sullivan and Lam could be anything in the halves this year.

I'm also a huge fan of Radley. And now Pompey. Plenty of talent to keep an eye on!

Full Time - Roosters crash over just before the siren. Didnt catch who scored as the rain starts to come down.

Full time score - Roosters 28 Manly 12 (no conversions in the game)

Game was over after 30 minutes. Not much to write home about in the last 50. Radley who only played 30 minutes looked very good at lock, will be interesting to see how much time he gets there this year with Nat Butcher probably floating between First Grade and 20s maybe even some games for Wyong.

O'sullivan played 30 minutes and looked very promising. Nice left foot kicking (long and short), not afraid to play into the line and keeps the play very direct. Showed all the good signs of a halfback will be interesting to see how he develops over the next few seasons.

Ratuvakacereivalu played the opening 30 and like the other two wasn't brought back on but looked very good. Strong metres after contact, won all his play the balls and has good leg speed. Will do a good job of filling that power runner role that Posasa has vacated this season I think.

Thanks R6.
Don't have a video camera on you?

Hope you are under cover

Thanks for taking the time to do this Rooster 6. Much appreciated.

[Mickie Lane]

Well done R_6

Very excited to hear the reports about O'Sullivan.

I think we all crave a champion half as they're the key to a long period of sustained success.

Obviously it's way too early to put pressure on the kid but wouldn't it be great if he turns into our own Nathan Cleary - a star half you can build a team around for a decade.
