The Sea Eagles have been awarded a controversial try to open the scoring, but the Roosters have hit back. Manly lead 6-4 after 20 minutes at 4 Pines Park.
The try to Lachlan Croker was a contentious decision as Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic chased the kick but didn’t contest the ball all the while making contact with James Tedesco, who dropped a Sea Eagles kick. Croker than scooped up the ball to score.
“I’m stunned that that isn’t a penalty for the Roosters,” Greg Alexander said on Fox League.
“What a surprise,” Warren Smith said.
