Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Jordan Meredith is looking for a similar repeat performance against South Sydney this Sunday following a fine first up win in the Harold Matthews Cup.
The Sea Eagles opened their Harold Matthews Cup season last Saturday in impressive fashion with a 26-6 win over the St George Dragons at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium, Kogarah.
Following a round one bye, the Sea Eagles dominated the first half to lead 16-0 at the break before holding firm in the second half to take the two competition points.
The Sea Eagles have 22 local juniors from the Manly District JRL in their squad this season.
“The effort and the commitment the boys showed was pleasing. We dominated the middle third of the field with our carries,'' Meredith said.
“It was all about doing the simple things really well and controlling what we can control. It was a good victory to start the season."
Meredith said he was particularly pleased with the efforts show by prop Finau Tuionetoa and Dylan Simmons, who performed well off the bench.
The Sea Eagles take on the Rabbitohs at Redfern Oval (Ironmark High Performance Centre) on Saturday, February 17, at 11.30am.
The Rabbitohs had a big opening round win before going down to Penrith 30-20 last weekend.
