Roosters will be hoping Flanagan improves on what we've seen first couple of week. He looks lost.

Manly wrap it up. 9-8. Roosters really boofed this one.

3 Turbo
2 Teddy
1 Radley

We can beat both these teams.

Amazing game from Tommy. Singlehandedly saved at least 3 tries.

3 penalties in the first 5 mins against Cronulla. Already shaping up to be a classic.

Fantastic kick from Johnson. Terrible chase allows Melbourne to get it back into the field of play.
Knock on by Addo-carr. Sharks on the attack 20m out.

Cronulla goes close. The usual Melbourne offside rule wins out in the end.

Penalty to Cronulla on the 5th. 2m out. They're looking dangerous in attack.
Weird because storm actually looked on side then.
Sharks lead 4-2. 22mins gone.

Morris coming off for a HIA. Zero contact with the head so that's a confusing one.

The sharks right edge is not working. Johnson serving it up. Ramien making a mess of it at least 3 times.

And the mercy rule for us fans has it 4-2 at the half.
If Melbourne can hold the ball they'll win this.

Surely it’s the washing and bleaching of the balls that is leading to all the poor handle errors.

Good kick by Graham to force a repeat set. They need to get him more involved this half.

Melbourne penalty right in front. We're locked up at 4-4. 2 penalties a piece.
This is almost as bad as a game of union.
