NRL Highlights: Sea Eagles v Eels - Round 8

Very short trip. Lives nearby and he gets things underway in Friday night, footing Manly to start. First the returning Josh Ali. A breeded at the 10 metre line by Campbell Gillard. Textbook tackle by Brooks down low. Oh, another shocking looking tackle. Ola Kawata is running away. He might be off to the sheds in a moment, slammed down, bang and he’s landed pretty much shoulder and neck together and then rolled over the top. You can understand if you got a little bit of a pinch in the nerve on that one. It’s on report in the bin, Yeah, he loves it. This is a dangerous tackle mate. There’s some mitigation with you being involved while you go to Molly, but like there’s still a fair degree of force and it’s dangerous. 2 Jake Uperson looking to open the scoring with the penalty goal and Parramatta lead two nil and Olokuwatu in the bin for the next 9 minutes or so. Tommy down the short side uses the decoy Cherry Evans. The Saab reaches out and might have lost it up here, I don’t think so. No confidence there from 4. Have no try looking at Kirk Fern that Jason Saab doesn’t go in a touch. Just looking at the feet of Jason Saab. Nice contact with the touchline. We have a decision this cherry. Evans gone and he’s concerned for Kosseka who stayed down. Tackle looked a little awkward. He might be hia down as Gutherson gets it. Sanders and Harper wrapped up by Saab who came in off the wing. It is the last Parramatta keeping it alive for Sebo in the corner. Harvey, Norman, replay all will come wide. It looked like nothing was happening here. Harvey gets tackled, gets a light offload. Gutterson, he manufacturers a pass and then then Mika is hard to stop there. He gets down low. Parramatta score a lot of tries like this, don’t they? But they’re kind of They look as though they’re dead and then they’re able to get an off load. And Gutherson is generally around it, picking up a pass and then an overhead pass to the wing to believe it’s your first receiver. Good night with Jake. Lodge had to go a long way back to find Brooks. How’s the improvisation? What’s allowed? Oh, that’s genius. From Brooks. Perfection on the kick and badly had their first Harvey Norman replay and as the ball comes to Brooks, he’ll feel the pressure of the defender but sees his face out wide. And our halves today are just brilliant in their courage to put that foot to the ball without thinking twice. They don’t second guess themselves instinct, the ball comes back pressure. Kick doesn’t even think twice. That was a pass from Matt Lodge. The the quick interchange of passing from turbo to Brown to Lodge 912. The schedule Chanders for Gutherson cut out ball Sivo. He’ll take some stopping. He’s over again. A first half double for Micah Harvey Norman Replay. Watch how straight he plays holds the defenders. This creates the overlap on the outside. And then Micah Sivo goes over for two tries tonight. They’re on tonight para. Just watch how straight he plays. Nice play, Freddy. Yeah, the man you were talking about, Nathan Brown, talk about those off the ball efforts. He come around down the blind side but just couldn’t get off the defence. There he is on the inside of Lodge and just stays back. That allows Parramatta to end up with an overlap if he comes forward there, they push Parramatta over the sideline. So there’s little efforts you never see in the game which make it a little bit easier. Well, Mitchell Moses, how’s he tracking? I was talking to him earlier next to Bryce Cartwright. I think he was looking around 11, so oh, here’s a chance. Penasini and Sidenson in the corner, so three tries from the Parramatta wingers and they’re in control here at Brooking Watch. Dillon Brand goes in the line, holds the defenders and they get the big man one-on-one. Will Penasini playing straight? Watch what it does to Nathan Brown here, watch 17. So he has to come in there which then isolates Kohler. It’s that domino effect. Put pressure on the next defender. Then the next defender gets under even more pressure just from play it straight. Well it seems like Parramatta light running towards the South too. That’s where all the points are scored down That end that showed it perfect that that end on we saw showed when the half pack plays straight and the lead runner on that decoy does his job, what it does to the defender. Mason down to you for the crowd figure tonight. Yes, well it was a sell out early in the week and we’ve just been given the interesting number. Saab at speed. Back to turbo and here come badly. What a task to ignite it as well. A bullet onto the chest of the winner World class Daily Cherry Evans. Harvey Norman, Replay dummy. Look at that. Wow. Go back and play that part again. Forget about the try. Go back and play that part again and just keep ruling it on. Loop it, it throws it blind. Yeah. Seether comes out of the line. He throws it blind. He cannot see Saab and he just fires. It locks unloaded and just goes whack. No, it was too exciting what was happening on the field, but the official crowd figure 17,385 in the last 10 minutes. It felt like double that. You’ve done it again. Cherry Evans skipping away and madly lead Jake Travoyovich. Take it up. It’s going nuts. It’s Harvey Norman. Replay Look the way he slows his hands up. Beautiful pass to Jake. He was running as quick as he can, but as he gets in the line, he softens his hands. This will show up perfect. Quick feet. Soft, slow hands. That’s a master class Freddy. I haven’t seen that pass in a while. They used to be his greatest asset. He used to do that all the time. Hit the line, come off his left foot and then throw the pass. Oh, Brooks got a shout from Turbo with the full back out of play. Look at Campbell Gillard against Turbo, who’s wiped out. Oh, it’s 10 in the fans last penalty try here. Come off, what’s the verdict? Sutton wants the Santo Bunker up there. Kick. I’ve got a professional foul. Yeah, it won’t be a penalty. Trial. Professional foul by Wood Panacini who kicked that ball back. Brooks, I think. Jeez, that’s a good play. He saw Sam Walker with the early kick. The difference after the professional foul from Panacini and it is 20 to 14 in favour of Manly. Good tonight. Billy Brown. Well, he’s just been all run hasn’t he? Without the responsibility, steering the team around, who wants this footing? It’s play on for Parramatta. It’s on here. The big front rower passing to see though who has a hat trick and Parramatta score with twelve. Check it. Harvey Norman, replay. There’s an off load in the middle of the field. Hop good once again. He can off load, double off load. Guttherson always there, another off load and Dylan Brown. He’ll put a dent and the ball goes up. Let’s watch this challenge of the chase. Is the player taken out? Sanders puts the ball up, Simon sent on Lord. Well, he had eyes for the ball. He was looking up the whole time. But they’ve been taking these challenges well. It’s going to look awkward on slow motion replay isn’t it? Game he has had for Boyevich for Cherry, Evans, Malakarachi, the decoy and Sibo moving it well that time got to Garrick little bit extra going on. Well, Micah didn’t need to do that. 4 discipline. Jared Sutton is thinking about sending him to the bin. I think it was some sort of rubbish. I think he calls it. His head’s right in tight. I don’t like that, Ash. I’m sure it’s something. I’m actually fine. He doesn’t like it. He wants to put him in the bin here. Totally unnecessary, mate. He goes back to report bin three points for the Manly crowd. Some more coming up now. Jerry Evans. Ola Kawatsu. Here he goes. Sets it off to Garrett who scores on Sibo’s side and round the lead by 6. And the big fella. Just a search. He’s a he’s influence on the scoreboard. That’s silly, Harvey Norman replay. But when it really matters, when they’ve really got to come up with the stop. Watch this big edge back rower Ola Kawadu. Bang. Get out of my way, young fella. Get out of my way. Here you go, buddy. That that’s the class. Watch the light footwork here with the look at the shimmy, look at the footwork. So Ethan Sanders was coming up from right shoulder tackle and then the shimmy ends up getting on the outside of Ethan Sanders. Lawton looks left and he’ll go that way. Via Tribojevic on to Brooks. Look at the stack. Keeps it alive for Jake to go to DCE Picked it up nicely. All that parcel work as well. Garrick are you better than a try game against this opposition. Parramatta have been short out to the left. Comes back in field. Brooks he’s able to get an off load get it to Cherry Evans. He’s looking for his man out wide ball hits the ground but Ruben Garrick waits for it. Waits on it, scurries in and scores the tries, and in a few minutes we’ll be singing Eagle Rock here at Rookie Oval. Well, the offload. I saw it last night with Melbourne. Every time they offloaded Harvey Norman replay final seconds and there’s no time to play it. What a turn around. In this second-half, the crowd got what they wanted.
