MANLY 34 - 18 COMETS

4/02/2006
By Manly Sea Eagles
The Sea Eagles have had a good hit out against the Central QLD Comets in stifling conditions in Rockhampton.

The Sea Eagles started strongly scoring 2 tries in the opening 15 minutes, and rounded out the half with a 16-4 lead. The superior fitness of the Sea Eagles came into play during the second half as the peninsula boys ran out eventual winners 34-18.

Best for the Sea Eagles were Jim Curtis, Adam Cuthbertson, Mailangi Styles, George Rose and Travis Burns, with Rose best of the new comers. Powerhouse forward Sione Finefeuiaki was in good form with a 50 metre burst.

Todd Barrow was forced out of the match after sustaining a thigh injury during the warm up. Ashley Alberts and Clint Halden were also injured but all three players will be back in action for the remaining trials.

The match was a good hit out for the boys and sets a good platform for the upcoming trial against the Roosters / Newtown at Gosford in 2 weeks.

Sea Eagles: 34 Tries: JP Cherry 2, Mark Lennon, Jason Wells, Jim Curtis, Mailangi Styles. Goals: Travis Burns 4/4, Mark Lennon 1/2.
Comets: 18
