Gorden Tallis believes too many Roosters outplayed and out-enthused their opposite number led by Tedesco over Trbojevic. “You’ve got to get into the arm wrestle and outplay your opposite number, ” Tallis said. “Trbojevic has just six runs for 57 metres in the first half. And we talk about his ability and whether Tommy gets in the game. “His opposite Tedesco was brilliant. There was a big challenge tonight and I reckon Tedesco is sitting there thinking they keep talking about Tommy. “Tedesco had 11 runs for 130 metres in the first half.
”Karl Lawton finally got the Sea Eagles on the board in the second half to make it 22-6. However Butcher strolled through for his second to seal the result. The Sea Eagles grabbed a consolation try from Cherry-Evans but it was far too little too late. Here are the key takeaways from the match. TEDDY DOMINATES TURBO IN BATTLE OF THE FULLBACKS All the talk leading into the clash was the battle between the game’s two best fullbacks and James Tedesco reminded Tom Trbojevic and the rest of the NRL that he is still the most consistent No. 1 in the game. For two weeks in a row the reigning Dally M Medallist Trbojevic was kept quiet, but Tedesco was back to his best.
For the second week in a row Manly were blown off the park by a team that looked hungrier and more desperate than them. Ennis believes Manly’s slow start to the season is a massive concern for Des Hasler. “We are seeing another catastrophic start from Manly, ” Ennis said. “0-4 last year and they were horrendous. “Already 22-0 down in the first half. They were dominated by Penrith last week. “This first half will have their coach absolutely ripping paint off the walls at halftime. ” Ennis noted the Roosters clearly took notice of Penrith’s successful ploy to peg Manly down in their right corner and keep the ball away from Trbojevic.
“It is deja vu in that southeastern corner, ” Ennis said. “That is all Penrith did to them last week. They are just being forced to come out of that corner and they can’t get out of there. ” Gorden Tallis believes there are worrying signs for Manly as they face an 0-3 start to the season next week and noted that they should be so much better than the start of last year, given how they finished 2021. “Last week Manly’s edge defence was poor, ” Tallis said.

You have got to outplay your opposite number. “I think in big matches everybody sits there and looks at the program. You want to outplay the bloke that is in front of you and the Manly guys are not doing that. ” Benji Marshall believes the Roosters got back to what makes them such a special side, basing their game on strong defence and speed and precision in attack and Tedesco led from the front. “It was a more Roosters-like performance from the start, ” Marshall said. “They just dominated possession and territory. They have made Manly look like a team that is very short of the side they were last year. “Tedesco has been unbelievable. 130 metres in the first half out the back. “The team that runs the hardest and tackles the hardest usually wins and the Roosters came out flying. ” Tallis echoed Marshall’s sentiments with the Roosters unrecognisable to the team that were dominated by the Knights.
“This isn’t the Manly side that lost the first four last season. “This is a side that should be in the top four. This is a side that has Des Hasler, Tom Trbojevic the best player in the game. Jake Trbojevic and they have got international halves. “This is not a bottom four side. This is a top four side going out there tonight and I think if you are a Manly supporter there are worrying signs. ” Benji Marshall called on Manly’s playmakers to do more, but admitted it would be hard for any team to win with as little possession as the Sea Eagles had against the Roosters. “They started last season 0-4 and ended up finishing fourth at the end of the season, ” Marshall said.
