Manly v Eastwood
Eastwood was just too good against Manly, crossing the line six times for a bonus point 43 to 15 win at Manly Oval. Continuing on from last week’s huge win against the Wicks, the Woodies attacked the Marlins from the whistle. Whilst the Marlins defence just couldn’t hold off the constant Eastwood onslaught, their attacking play earned them two tries and kept them in the match. The win sees Eastwood maintain its third position overall, while the Marlins’ loss sees them drop two places to sixth.
