Junior Reps Wrap Round Three

HAROLD MATTHEWS

Wests bravely went down in the Harold Matthews to Manly 26-14 at Brookvale last Saturday.

Manly were first on the board after seven minutes to lead 6-0, after capitalising on a repeat set, Jesse Allan strolling over on the left flank after a series of overlaps caught Wests tired, Cooper Johns raising the flags.

Manly added to their lead after 19 minutes, Manly again taking advantage of sustained pressure, Max Lehmann forcing his way over. Cooper Johns couldn't add to the score on this occasion, the Eagles up 10-0.

Wests registered their first points in response right on the interval, Denzel Tavui crashing through. James Tautailalefua was unable to convert, Manly taking a 10-4 lead to oranges.

It was just like the old days to start the second half, Manly taking advatage of some "generous" refereeing to get across the line, Livingstone Chee-Kam forcing his way through the black and white defence after 36 minutes, Cooper Johns hooking the kick wide to leave the score at 14-4.

The Fibros were quick to hit back, Rua Ngati burrowing over from dummy half after a Manly knock-on to reduce the deficit to 14-10 after James Tautailalefua split the uprights.

Manly hit straight back, Sam Verrills going over from dummy half after a dropped pass that incensed the black and white faith as the referee waved play on. Johns finally got his radar back on line, the Eagles ahead 20-10 with 14 minutes to go.

Manly quickly added to their tally, a neat offload allowing Sam Verrills to grab his second of the day alongside the posts for a 26-10 lead after Johns converted.

Wests refused to go away, Ben Seufale going over from dummy half after a strong charge from Rua Ngati. James Tautailalefua pushed the rushed kick wide, buit it was too little too late, Manly running out 26-14 winners.

SG BALL

It was a tough day at the office for Wests' SG Ball side, as Manly piled on nine tries to run out 48-0 winners.

It took until halfway through the first half of an absorbing contest for first points to be registered, Jaiden Tarrant crashing over from close range for the home side, Bailey Shiach-Wise making it a 6-0 lead.

Manly doubled up from the restart, Bill Bainbridge backing up to score under the posts off a soft break. Shiach-Wise was on song from in front for a 12-0 Manly lead after 20 minutes.

Manly were turning it into a procession, a second man ball allowing Luke Polselli to stroll through over the line on the right side for a 16-0 lead, Shiach-Wise offline wth the kick.

Number four for Manly came to Ezera Chee-Kam, a glorious inside ball sending Polselli clear before a passing chain allowd Chee-Kam to touch down in the corner, Manly ahead 20-0 after the conversion attempt was pulled wide.

Wests' right side was crumbling, Brad Parker putting Ezera Chee-Kam away for his second and a 26-0 lead at halftime with the kick.

It took just fie minutes of the second half for Manly to break 30, Brad Parker crossing after the Magpie line got tangled up, Shiach-Wise extending the lead to 32-0.

Manly marched downfield from the kick-off and hoisted a bomb, Cody Abrahams on hand to clean up the spill and grab a try. Shiach-Wise was on target to put Manly up 38-0.

The home side broke 40 after 50 minutes, a grubber in behind the line pinballing around before Brad Parker claimed his second try and a 42-0 lead, Shiach-Wise unsiccessful with the conversion attempt.

It took a while, but Manly struck again with six minutes remaining, a booming 40-20 setting up some quality field position and Luke Polselli grabbing his second from a second man ball. Shiach-Wise slotted the two, the Eagles cruising to a 48-0 win.
