Manly vs. South Sydney - Score Updates from 6pm

[Ryan]

I hear the pitch is a tad wet, but the Rabbitoh's have elected to bat. This 80/80 match should see some good hitting, and high scores.

If anyone wants to do the updates - that would be great.

I'm going to the gym. See y'all in a few hours.

WELCOME TO REDFERN OVAL FOR THIS HISTORIC GAME
The last time these two teams met at Redfern was in 1987, the year the Sea Eagles went on to defeat the Canberra Raiders in the Grand Final

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

The Sea Eagles team will largely feature their Toyota Cup side and a few fringe players. South Sydney whilst naming a lot of lower graders are expecting to play some of the big names.

Palau hit hard but they lost the ball the next play

Try scorer was Jowett we believe

We are playing one of our big names.  Morewood is sure to finally break into the rep scene this year, surely?

KNOCK ON SOUTHS
Manly feed on their 10m

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Well so far the Jnr Sea Eagles are giving these big Souths forwards a run for their money. Devence is tight and they are just working it hard up Guys like Palau, Moorword and Jowett Heavily involved.
