KICK-OFF! Here we go!

Here come the visitors. The Roosters stride onto the Brookvale turf in their white away jersey looking to consolidate their spot in the top eight. Next is the hosts; Manly Sea Eagles in their pride jersey and get a good hand from the locals as they head onto the field. These two sides are playing for the Gotcha4Life Cup. Let's get it underway!

Just a note from your updater that this jersey is a fabulous statement from the Sea Eagles that EVERYONE can be included in Rugby League. I hope this spurs on other clubs do similar and lead to a Pride round eventually as there is no place for discrimation of anyone in our society. Also I hope it might lead to someone feeling comfortable to come out and be themselves!

Happy Women in League round! We start off with the most talked about game of the weekend. Manly Sea Eagles who will be wearing a wonderful pride jersey albeit without seven players who have stepped down due to their beliefs which leaves a big hole in the Sea Eagles side. It does give some chances for some fringe First Graders for the hosts while the Roosters are also battling for the top eight. They aren't used to being down this end of the ladder but come off a huge win against the Knights and ready to get another two points.
