Done and dusted..Watmough's 2nd.

Watmough scores again, two try's within a couple of minutes of the restart, 22-4

Another one for Manly via another open break and Steve Matai joins the queue of players to go over.

I didn't know manly were this good.

Leeds defence is falling apart. Look very tired.

26-4

Tony Smith comments that Manly have done to Leeds what Leeds can do to other teams - they've been blitzed.



I'm glad I've got a lot of work to finish off tonight

They seem to be defending constantly.

Manly look a different class at the moment...cutting through Leeds with ease. Looks like the Rhino's might have to wait a little longer before being as successful as the Bulls!



Some superb Rugby on show though, wish we could see SL like this each week.

Senior try.

26-10

Actually I think I'm quite glad I can't see it

Great try by Hall.

Now 26-16.

How long is left?

4 minutes.

Penalty to Manly 28-16

Nice try!

Danny McGuire goes in after a break by Senior

28-20 Full Time.

Wonder how many will stay for the presentation ?

Thank you very much for keeping me informed, I appreciate it.

I bet your throats a bit dry Tonight.

good game

well done manly

Apart from a short spell after half-time, Leeds did well. Some very good rugby from two very good sides. Hard luck Leeds.

we missed Burrows guile. His loss seemed to throw the side for a while.Webb was also a big miss. lee Smith is developing into a fantastic player and shuffling him into the centres to accomodate webbs return will only make us stronger. I thought bailey was feeling the effects of last weeks knock he fell off a few tackles. Kudos to Senior though he still looks head and shoulders above any British centre pace power and skill, his int. retirement can only be good for Leeds. Plaudits to the convicts, that 10 min spell won them the game.

oh and finally the ref what a joke determined to stay in the spotlight and not let the game flow the penalty count must have been something of a record. If he wants to hear the constant sound of the whistle and his own voice off and ref union.

That is all.

Manly were superb for 50 minutes and had they been 3 games into their season I feel they would have won by more.

As it was Leeds players showed pride in the shirt and stuck at the task despite conceding 3 times in 6 minutes after half time. It could have been embarrassing but it wasnt.

Dont the Aussies use the availability of players as a disclaimer when they lose these games?

My mate was the minder for Manly the last two days (as he has been for the Aussies the last 4). He said this lot were totally diiferent in attitude. Totally focussed, tunnel vision.
