Daly Cherry-Evans has kicked Melbourne to the kerb and Manly back into the top eight as Storm fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen endured a horror night returning from injury.
Daly Cherry-Evans has kicked Melbourne to the kerb and Manly back into the top eight before Melbourne rattled up four tries in the last six minutes to threaten the unlikeliest of miracle comebacks.
Only a wayward radar off the tee from the skipper – Cherry-Evans deputising for Reuben Garrick after he copped a hip knock – kept Melbourne in it, to begin with, though Des Hasler acknowledged the late fade-outs have to stop. “It’s a nine out of 10 or a 10 out of 10 by Cherry-Evans tonight,” Sea Eagles legend Paul Vautin gushed in commentary, with few arguments among the 8,618 on hand in the stands.Had the home side gone down and results gone against them, Manly could have been four points adrift of the top eight by the end of the weekend.
He might have wished he’d given it one more week throughout the first half, his early try-assist for Nick Meaney off-set by one for Manly’s Tolutau Koula. Repeated raids eventually paid off moments before halftime, Saab all but falling backside first into his second try thanks to an overlap engineered by Foran.
