Souths declare gritty fourth win in a row
South Sydney get yet one more victory, holding Manly scoreless on the Olympic stadium.
It was a dire dirge of a match because of the circumstances, with Manly trying very unhealthy in assault.
Souths will not care although, they’ll, because of byes, go six weeks with out defeat within the NRL, with 4 victories.
That’s a formidable flip round.
Richard Kennar, Jye Grey and Keaon Koloamatangi with the tries.
Manly held scoreless within the NRL for the primary time since 2022, and for the primary time by Souths since 1949.
79′ Souths rating one other!
Keaon Koloamatangi crashes over!
A superb stretch by Koloamatangi, who raced after a poked kick from Damien Cook dinner and needed to contort himself to dot the ball down in his large hand.
Properly performed.
The kick from Cody Walker is, for the primary time since 2016, good!
Souths have 4 wins in a row.
77′ Tommy Talau on report
Tommy Talau has been placed on report for placing his shoulder proper underneath the chin of Jai Arrow.
Arrow is lower than completely happy about it and is instructed by the referee that what he did was “completely unacceptable” and that if he did it once more, he’d be within the sin bin.
It is a penalty to Souths.
Advisable solely in small doses
‘Freneticism’ is within the lead for phrase of the day 🙂
– Mike
Scoreless Sea Eagles?
Manly has not been held scoreless in a sport since Spherical 10 of the 2022 season, a 38-0 defeat in opposition to Brisbane.
The final time Souths held Manly scoreless was 1949.
I worry your sentiments are being shared by many…
Choose up your sport Manly or I am leaving….
– Lucille
This has not been a traditional.
However there’s at all times the possibility for a grandstand end…
And sure, I hope once I say that.
65′ Tommy Talau scores! However…
However was there a Manly lead runner that will get in the way in which?
There was, Keaon
Koloamatangi
was blocked by Ben Condon and that chalks off the strive.
A rating for Manly would have made issues attention-grabbing – not least as a result of there hasn’t been a rating on this sport for the reason that twenty first minute.
But when Manly might crash over, they might handle to get one thing out of the competition.
64′ Jack Wighton on report
A second excessive sort out for the match for Jack Wighton, and he is on report for this one.
62′ Sensible break from Jacob Gagai!
Souths have actually burst into life within the final couple of minutes.
This time it is Jacob Gagai who drives down the fitting wing and chases laborious for the road.
He’s smashed by a mix of Manly chasing tacklers after which, after a little bit of freneticism, there’s a knock on.
60′ Jye Grey has cramp
Attention-grabbing for Jye Grey – who takes a superb catch to diffuse a bomb.
He will get cramp although after being tackled.

57′ Jai Arrow cops a shoulder to the top
Oh that is a nasty one for Jai Arrow.
He was certain within the sort out and received a shoulder to the top.
The Bunker had a have a look at it, and mentioned no.
Extremely, Arrow goes to remain on the market? Certainly not..
Toafofoa Sipley
completely hit him with the shoulder to the top, I assume within the grand scheme of issues it is a comparatively low impression collision, but it surely certain regarded like a shoulder to the top.
And it is clearly affected Arrow, who seems to be dazed in fact.
Fortunately, the bunker physician says Arrow must go off for an HIA and never play the ball, however I nonetheless do not know how the referee can have a look at that contact and never rule and infringement.
41′ Karl Lawton with the break!
Manly wanted a superb begin they usually virtually received it right away.
A robust run from Ethan Bullemor releases Karl Lawton to have the primary linebreak of the night time. (Yeah, it has been a kind of).
He had choices to the left of him, an choice to the fitting and ultimately, he messed it up as a backtracking Alex Johnston did simply sufficient to power a poor cross.
41′ We’re again underway
Manly-Warringah are holding onto the ball first, attacking from proper to left as we see issues on our screens.
That is not the way you make diamonds, Des

“JC is instinctive. He creates factors and line breaks round him.”
As for Foran, Haser admitted to one thing approaching alchemy together with his 33-year-old skipper.

The circumstances usually are not serving to, let’s make that clear, however that is going to be a sport for the purists.
Souths have been good, they’ve accomplished 21 of 23 units thus far within the match.
However there’s little or no to put in writing residence about except for the 2 tries to Richard Kennar and Jye Grey.
Souths shall be happy with their defence although – protecting Manly scoreless by means of 40m minutes of powerful soccer.
40′ Alex Johnston virtually scores!
Proper on the demise of the half, Johnston raced in direction of the nook in search of his 193rd NRL strive.

Not a terrific finish to the half, however oddly applicable on an evening the place errors are ruling nice play in the meanwhile.
35′ Cody Walker in a spot of trouble
Not nice information for Souths, but it surely seems to be like Cody Walker is battling a pec harm? or a shoulder? He is out behind play and with the coach.

Good little second there, and a pleasant little transfer for the teen.
Jye Gray was fed by Cody Walker, the 170 cm-tall 20-year-old took the ball to the road at tempo, confirmed a touch of a dummy earlier than scooting over.
Walker will get nearer with the kick however nonetheless misses, it is 8-0.
