7 minutes gone - Roosters making stupid error coming out of their own end and Manly score from ensuing set through a grubber kick into the in goal on last tackle.
21 minutes gone - Roos finally hold some possesion and get some repeat sets and Lindsay Collins crashes over from close range. Big guy!
12-6 MANLY
Just looked up Lindsay Collins - two years ago he was an 18 year old who was 196cm and just short of 100kg. He was being chased by Rugby and AFL. Also is the grandson of a player I remember seeing (which makes me feel very old) - Lionel Williamson, an international winger who played for the Bluebags.
34 minutes gone - Roos fail to find touch from a penalty kick and Manly score from the ensuing set. Nice short side raid by the fullback who finds his winger.
Roos had dominated the last 20, really against the run of play.
The middles for the Roos only thing to write home about. No 8? Lindsay Collins No 13? and Santi have all done a good job in the middle and won it for the Roos.
In fairneass though the rain has limited the input of the edge players. Both teams playing smart we weather footy up the guts.
51 minutes gone - Roos fail to clean up a grubber and Manly get a repeat set on the goal line. Really nicely constrcuted backline movement and tap on from the fullback sees them cross in the coner.
The two starting props - Lindsay Collins and whoever the number 8 is make a big difference to this Wyong side. 20 minutes to go and Shaq Mitchell has run onto the field looking huge!!
