Walker offloads to Sironen, but he knocks it on.

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 30-8

27

20

The Trbojevic boys combine, but the defence is up to it and Tom gets crunched.

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 6-2

19

Terrible kick from Reynolds there. Great idea, poor execution. He's struck it wrong and the Sea Eagles barely need to bother chasing it. A scrum packs down mid field for the Sea Eagles.

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 6-2

19

Kyle Turner has gone off the field for a HIA.

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 6-2

18

But it's a great tackle from Hymel Hunt, stopping his man on the spot, and winning the ball back for his team. Finally the Bunnies get a chance to attack.

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 6-2
