LOSS 8-28
The South Sydney Rabbitohs have gone down to an energetic Manly-Warringah Sea-Eagles side by 28-8 at Brookvale Oval tonight (Friday) in front of 15,083 in Round 22 of the NRL. The Rabbitohs began proceedings with some solid defence – keeping the Sea Eagles deep inside their own side of halfway, and when the red and greens did get the ball, two penalties to the side inside the first five minutes saw Adam Reynolds take the opportunity to kick his side two points ahead. For Reynolds, the goal was a milestone, with the halfback becoming the second highest point-scorer in Rabbitohs history in all grades. But the Rabbitohs lead would be short-lived. With the Sea Eagles getting their first real opportunity inside the red and green 10 metre line with eight minutes gone, Jake Trbojevic hit the line before spinning and scoring the first try of the match. Jamie-Lyon converted to give the Sea Eagles a 6-2 lead. The Sea Eagles went on with the job some six minutes later when Brett Stewart attacked the open side, creating a three on one situation out wide before spiralling a pass out to Peta Hiku for a four-pointer millimetres in from touch. Lyon was unable to convert, leaving the score at 10-2. A string of penalties and handling errors by the Rabbitohs put the red and greens under immense pressure on their own line, allowing the Sea Eagles to test the visitors. Kieran Foran came within a whisker of scoring after breaking clean through the Manly line, only for Greg Inglis to make a brilliant try-saving tackle to stop the five-eighth just shy of the line. The pendulum had swung well and truly in the favour of the Sea Eagles, who were showing plenty of exuberance in both attack and defence. The home-side were seemingly throwing everything they had at the Rabbitohs, and despite some brilliant defence from Souths to deny Manly on a number of occasions, with five minutes left in the opening stanza, Hiku crossed for his second of the evening in similar fashion to his first. Lyon was off-target again to leave the scores reading 14-2. The Rabbitohs would march their way up-field to test the Manly line on a handful of occasions, but the sides would go to the break with no change to the score. On the resumption, Glenn Stewart was placed on report for a high-tackle on Steve Matai, allowing the Sea Eagles first meaningful use of the ball inside Rabbitohs territory. But the advantage would prove fruitless. But poor handling and ill-discipline from the Rabbitohs would ensure that the Sea Eagles would get on the front foot when they were awarded a penalty for offside – Jamie-Lyon kicking his team a 16-2 lead with 27 minutes in the match remaining. Seven minutes later, after more intense Sea Eagles attack, Peta Hiku brought up his hat-trick by scoring yet again down the flank. Lyon made it 22-2 with his conversion with 18 minutes in the match remaining. Trbojevic grabbed a double for the Sea Eagles when he powered over from close range before Lyon added the extras to make it 28-2. Alex Johnston got a consolation try in the final three minutes of the match when he managed to jig his way through the Sea Eagles’ defence out wide – Johnston picking up his 36th try in 38 games. Adam Reynolds made no mistake from the touch-line to make the score 28-8.

U20 National Youth Holden Cup - Round 22

LOSS 18-26
Late Changes Davis is out. Rudolf starts on the bench.
The Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles have taken the points in the NYC (under 20s) this evening at Brookvale Oval, bettering the South Sydney side by 26-18 in Round 22 of the Holden Cup. Four minutes into the first half, Sea Eagles fullback Tom Trbojevic, finished off a great attacking set by the home-side to race in six metres in from touch to make it 4-0. Mere minutes later, Manly centre Addison Demetriou was causing problems from the Rabbitohs – the centre taking advantage of a Sea Eagles break before powering over the line to score. Hugh Pratt converted to give the Sea Eagles a 10-0 lead. It took half of the opening stanza for the Rabbitohs to hit back, and it would come through prop—forward, Brock Gray, who powered his way through the Manly defence to open his side’s account. Jordie Hedges converted to narrow the gap to 10-6. The revival was short-lived though, with Manly replacement winger Mitch Thomas streaking down the side-line to grab the home-side’s third try of the night. Pratt converted to take the score to 16-6 going into the sheds. On the resumption, the Rabbitohs managed to stem the flow of Manly points for the opening 20 minutes of the second half, before putting more points on the board themselves. Siosifa Talakai raced through the Manly defence to make it a four-point ball game along with Hedges’ conversion to make it 16-12 with some 20 minutes remaining. With 13 minutes on the clock, the barn-storming Demetriou picked up his second try of the evening amid a desperate flurry of Rabbitohs defenders. Pratt added the extras to make it 22-12 as time ticked away for the Rabbitohs. A brilliant inside pass from Trbojevic to winger Jess Bogle yielded yet more points for the home side a couple of sets later to all but put the game beyond doubt at 26-12. With two minutes on the clock remaining and the Rabbitohs on the attck, an Eli Levido kick into the corner saw a flying Irae Simone pluck the ball out of the air to score before Hedges added the extras to make the final score 26-18.

Reserve Grade - VB NSW Cup Round 22
v Warriors, North Sydney Oval Sat Aug 8 3:00pm
WIN 32-22
Late Changes Mauala and Manuleleua dropped off the bench.
The North Sydney Bears have continued their exceptional run towards the finals with a convincing 32-22 victory over the New Zealand Warriors at North Sydney Oval on Saturday. Kirisome Auva’a and Cody Walker set the tone early for the Bears by bagging two tries each, before an inspirational defensive performance in the final quarter of the game denied the Warriors any chance of a comeback. The victory for the Bears means they move deeper inside the top eight at the completion of round 22, while the Warriors’ Minor Premiership hopes took a significant blow. The Warriors received a penalty 20 metres out in the fifth minute of the game, and David Bhana took full advantage of the gifted field position as he darted over from dummy half to score despite various protests from Bears defenders. A chance to score back-to-back tries was blown when the Warriors could not take advantage of a three-on-one overlap on the left edge due to a poor pass into touch by Glen Fisiiahi. A Cody Walker bomb off the back of that costly error was not handled by the Warriors and resulted in a six-again call. The very next play, Ed Murphy shot out of dummy half and passed to Joel Reddy, who strolled over to lock up the scores at four apiece. The Bears marched up-field off the kickoff and Walker threw a picture perfect pass to Latrell Schaumkel, who caught the ball on the outside of his defender, which created a two on one overlap and consequently a try for Auva’a who was lingering in support. The Warriors conceded three line-breaks in the space of four minutes, with only some outstanding cover defence denying Auva’a his second try in the 19th minute. Jack Gosiew
