NRLManlyWarriors Match Report ✍
The Sea Eagles dominated every facet of the game virtually from the outset to storm to a 24-0 halftime lead and went on with the job in the second term to achieve their first win during the Origin period since 2015.
While captain Daly Cherry-Evans was the only Manly player on Origin duty, star fullback Tom Trbojevic is out for the season with a shoulder injury but their forwards, led by Haumole Olakau’atu, were too much to handle for the Warriors. Olakau’atu scored an early try and carried the ball 178m in 13 first half runs, while producing nine tackle breaks, a line break and a line break assist.
The Manly strike second-rower finished the match with a game high 210 metres from 17 carries, while props Toafofoa Sipley and Martin Taupau each scored a try and ran the ball for more than 100 metres, as did Josh Aloiai and Jake Trbojevic .
