Another cracking day down at Manly oval with the depth really showing and taking 7 from 7 in front of another good crowd
Forths had a a good win.
Thirds, was a had fort tussle, Dane making a return from injury and added some required experience up front. Max and Bris added some spark, and it was good to see Christie back really straightening up the line a number of times.
Seconds, Gordon beat Uni last week, and went down to the undefeated Woodies by 1 point earlier in the year. Our defensive line was strong early, but on turn over with ball in hand we tried going wide to early and Gordon raced to a 14 point lead with 2 tries against the run of play. We started to tighten things up late in the first half and leveled the scores. Halftime chat, and the second half had the forwards doing the hard work and earning the right send the backs wide. 38 - 3 after their 2 tries against the run of play.
Firsts, very new look side with a number of players over coming niggling injuries. Fought out a good win, fought being appropriate, good experience in the forwards brought it in tight and went forward when required. Fakai ran onto a couple of great balls to get a double, then Northam shows his gas and also goes over for a double. The second half played out and Turtle trotted out for yet another game.
Gee the talent watching / not playing today in a good crowd, Jordy, Woodhouse, Maile, Sef, Hooper, Fairbrother, Porecki, Peterson, Daruda, Collins, Manu, and possible missed some.
Club Championships still looking good, and Uni play Woodies next week.
