Official Wentworthville Magpies Thread II

[Forty20]

Moeakiola reads the overs line well and covers for his inside defender.

Manly kick towards the corner on the last but Hereketukutuku reads it well and then makes some good metres on the kick return.

Wenty then pick up a penalty as Manly are penalised for a sloppy high tackle.

 

[hineyrulz]

Wenty just score a fantastic, Manu Mau does well to score in the corner.

 

[Forty20]

Wow, fantastic run and offload from Ma'afu!

He slices through some flimsy Manly defence and carries a couple of defenders for 5m before slipping away an awesome offload around the corner to Manu Mau who has to contend with the side line and the Manly cover defence but he crosses in the corner!

 

[Forty20]

The conversion hasn't got the legs or the trajectory to trouble the touchies and it is waved away.

Wenty extend their lead to 14-6

72m gone.

Manly go for a short kick off and come up with it!

 

[Forty20]

Oh wow! Lasalo and Ma'afu absolutely smash Gower.

 

[hineyrulz]

Manly player gets destroyed in that tackle lol.

And we dodge another bullet.

 

[Forty20]

Manly do nothing in that set before hoisting a literal hail mary on the last from 35m out.

Hereketukutuku loses it and it bounces in goals! The Manly chaser gets there before Hereketukutuku and looks to ground it but he is ruled to be over the dead ball line!

More fortune for Wenty!

 

[Forty20]

Now Wenty have the chance to bury Manly now as Gutherson loses the ball inside his red zone.

75m gone.

 

[Forty20]

Oh dear. Edwards slips a decent offload to Howard who drops it cold.

Hahahha classic f**king Wenty.

Manly are then called back in their set for a forward pass.

Wenty scrum on the Manly 40m line.

76m gone

 

[hineyrulz]

WTF was that????

Forward pass and it's game over.

Wenty have looked much better with Ryan off the field.

 

[hineyrulz]

Nice ball by Lasalo to ice the game, Hunt under sticks.


Wenty would be a handy side with a decent 6 or 7.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Edwards is far too good for this grade.

Manu Mau too.

Crazy that our strongest position (edge forward) in NSW Cup is one of our weakest in the NRL.

 

[Forty20]

Should be a penalty to Manly for Wenty passing from the ground there but the ref calls it back for a play-the-ball. A real head scratcher there there.

Gower takes a great take for Manly on the Wenty kick but Manly lose the ball again!

Lasalo makes a good run and gets between two defenders before finding Matt Hunt in support with an offload.

Hunt goes over untouched under the posts to seal the game.

The simple conversion is taken.

Wenty go out to 20-6

79m gone.

 

[hineyrulz]

Manu Mau too.

Crazy that our strongest position (edge forward) in NSW Cup is one of our weakest in the NRL.

Even Lasalo has looked good out there.

 

[hineyrulz]

Nice try assist by Waters to give Manly the try, about the only way he would tally one up. He's woeful.

 

[Forty20]

Wenty will have the last play of the game as they work it out from their half. Hahaha f**k me! Wenty make big metres down the left edge and then centre-field and start to offload desperately, looking for one more try.

Parata ends up passing blindly to a Manly speedster who says thank you and runs 50m downfield to score a try in the corner for Manly as the buzzer rings.

 

[Forty20]

The conversion is missed.

Full Time

Wenty df. Manly 20 - 10

I thought Waters through that one mate???

Kenny Edwards,Manu Mau and Takai were all outstanding.

 

[EelsFan05]

Even Lasalo has looked good out there.

He's always been so slow on the ground though.

 

[Forty20]

Honestly, it feels a little bit like U/9's for Wenty as there are a handful of stars in a team that is otherwise failing at football basics. It proved to be enough today but it has hurt them over the greater course of this season.

Ken Edwards was the standout, nearly impossible to put down with the ball in hand and aggressive in defence.

He was capably supported by Manu Mau, Lorenzo Ma'afu (arguably his best game of the season) and youngster Takai Moeakiola.
