Well it’s a lovely sunny afternoon at Brookvale with a temperature of 28 degrees and you’re tuned to the cyber heartland of Rugby League, Leagueunlimited.com. Today sees 2008 premiers the Manly Sea Eagles take on the boys from over the ditch, the New Zealand Warriors.

What an intriguing contest it looks like being today. It’s put up or shut time for Manly, will their well-publicised off field issues be cast aside and can they record their first win of the season? The Warriors look like a force to be reckoned with in 2009, with the return of pint-sized maestro and Kiwi legend, Stacy Jones, who starts from the bench today.
