This could get very embarrassing for the Roosters at this rate. Those two tries have been so easy.

Wow, that try to DCE was worse than embarrassing for the Roosters. What is the word for worse than embarrassing? 18-0 after 20 minutes.

Manly set to make the prelim... if this was Raiders, they'd re-sign the whole squad and coach and bask in it for 3-4 years

Turbo and Teddy are such weapons at the back. Such a key position - you need a high quality 1 to get anywhere

24-6 at half time... hard to see the Roosters not conceding 50.

That Bunnies Manly game should be a great game. Manly should still be pretty fresh after this. That was a cakewalk.
Some fantastic heads up play by Turbo, DCE and Walker.

I lost interest in this match just after half time. I was expecting a closer contest. But hats off to Turbo and DCE who came out and blew the Chooks off the park. Trent Robinson was impressive in his post match presser. No petulance or anything other than a quiet professionalism on display. Manly now to play Souths next week. Hopefully it won't be a score line blow out.

Panthers have lost To'o due to injury for the match against the Eels. I think the Panthers will be too strong for them. Whoever wins will have the daunting task of playing the Storm in the next match.

Dylan Brown with a great try saver
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Panthers the better team so far. But Eels have the first try when Edwards fails to defuse a Moses bomb.

I thought Panthers have got away with some clear decoys standing in the line. A lot of decoy running and block plays.

That’s a ridiculous penalty to the Panthers. Talk about favourable calls.

They ran an obstruction play from a scrum win. Should have been a penalty to the Eels.
