29 minutes gone - Another cracking Roosters try from 40m out. Connor Watson drifts across field passes to Aubusson who skips outside his man lays a short ball to Ferguson who runs a slight unders line and busts in to the clear, draws the Fullback and Watson is there in support to score.

Conversion is good 18 - 12 ROOSTERS

Good lead up play by Carter who got an offload to Keary who made a half break. Put Manly on the back foot.

Toups is gonna have a big year ...Im sure of it.

What, a big year of being bagged out.
I hope he does have a big year & I feel he copped a lot of flack from posters on here last year for things that he had no control over ie players out injured or suspended plus no Jennings, Malone & RTS.

[Rooster_6]

Rain coming down quite hard now.

Soon as penalties level out score does the same, hope we aren't over scrutinized this year

[Johnny Tobin]

37 minutes gone - Manly get back to back sets on our line and Frank Winterstein crashes over from dummy half for one of the softest tries you will see this year.

Conversion is good 18-18 all locked up.

[The Brain]

Wheres the Bondi Wall? ..only a trial.....suppose getting new attacking combos going.

[Johnny Tobin]

Now that's good news.

HALF TIME - 18-18

Manly just far more aggresive in contact both in attack and defence. Stopped us in our tacks and drove us back on far too many occasions.

Only thing keeping us in this game at the moment is that we have a little more skill across the park.

Carter has been good coming off the bench, Keary and Watson have both had nice touches but we need some more direction out of them and neither can kick long. Tupou showing some good signs carrying on from the back end of last year.

Need to see more from the middles in this second half, need to match Manlys aggresion which we only managed to do for about 10 minutes in the first half.
