The Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles have caused one of the great upset victories of the 2017 Intrust Super Premiership NSW with a convincing 30-12 win over a disappointing Warriors outfit and in doing so, inflicting the Warriors’ first loss on Australian soil this season.
The win, which lifts Blacktown two points above bottom-placed Wests Tigers, was built on an opening 40-minute performance which saw the Sea Eagles defy the heavy conditions to build a commanding 24-6 half-time lead which the Warriors, despite an improved showing in the second half, could not overcome.

I presume so, seeing as you can do it the other way around. I'm guessing being named in the final 17 counts as having "played" whether you take the field or not. He'll get an "appearance" for it in his career stats won't he.
Write up of last weeks game from a Warriors supporter at the game. Not a bad read.

Hey team
Wow what a week if you were a Warriors reserve grade supporter. There were highs and lows everywhere. Firstly last week was the comeback 18-18 draw against Newcastle, then on Tuesday the high of seeing Manu back and named in the team, then the low of finding out resident hitman Tof Sipley will be taking his talents to Manly next season. That a massive low. But there was a game being played today so The Fan In The Stand running on minimal sleep after finshing work at 7am packed up the family and jumped in the car to head out to Blacktown to see the juggernaut continue against the Manly Sea Eagles reserve grade team. After last nights first grade team putting on a clinic against the Titans, all Warriors fans must be happy and i was buzzing about this game.
On the way out i was thinking about the presence Manu would have on this team. Hes on the comeback trail after a couple of injuries, and with the first grade wingers kicking ass it looks like he will have to fight his way back into the team starting with todays game. Manu is a icon at the Warriors and have to remember no other NRL player in the history of the game has scored 10 or more tries in 10 seasons of first grade. So Manu will pose a threat in any team hes in. Manly who play under the Blacktown Workers banner have a few familiar names in their team in Ex Warriors Shaun Lane, Pita Godinet and not everyones cup of tea Johnno Wright. We have some late changes with Sam Cook going from hooker to standoff, Charlie Gubb is starting with Tof back to the bench and midweek signing Manaia Cherrington also on the bench.
Get to the park about 20 minutes before kickoff and see that the field is in absolute ****house condition. Its bogged and puddles all in the middle. We have had some decent rain this week in sydney but this field is poos. Even the adjacent field that the boys are warming up on is torn up with their warm ups. Also it has no covered stands and out seats are drenched. The boys are currently sitting 2nd on the ladder and Manly 2nd last but with these conditions im thinking it will level things out with our gun backline used to carving up in dry conditions. The teams are getting set for kick off and Manu is on our side of the field, sheesh he looks lean, fit and trimmed and most importantly keen. Pretty good ground announcer today, only stuffed up 1 name in the team sorry Ofahighkigh???? its Ofahiki idiotdick. But sometimes when he started talking to the people next to him he forgot to turn the mic off haha reminded me of the old Papa Ruru days from Rotorua Radio.
So Manly kick off and Ligi Sao hits it up strongly but looses it in the tackle. Oh boy!!! Scrum to manly and they hit it up and we are penalised on their 1st tackle. They take the tap and we are penalised again on the first tackle FFS!!! They tap it again and 4 tackles later they spin it wide and their winger Peter Shuster dives over for a try which Jackson Hastings converts. So after 2 minutes we have had 1 error, been penalised twice and are down 6-0, worst possible start ever. 2nd set much better as Charnze takes a great bomb, Manu then hits it up and we get a penalty and get out of trouble. Couple of sets later we are hot on attack but Isaiah Papalii spills a tough pass which the conditions didnt help. Soon after we get another penalty and Ofa Ogden makes a strong hitup with an awesum offload to Tevaga who also produces another awesum offload creating 3rd phase play but CNK knocks on. Looks like the boys are playing to their strengths in the bleak conditions. Another attacking set sees us throw a lot at them but Manly hold out and a great chip by Mason sees Jackson Hastings gather and save a try. When Manly have the ball we force an error then get a penalty due to backchat from one of the Manly players. We march down field and earn a repeat set with a nice Lino kick being forced in goal.
Ligi Sao has been working his ass off with 2 hitups in the last 2 sets of 6 and making good metres to. After his last play the ball we put on a backline move which sees it spread and Mason takes it to the line and gets away a chip which sees Paulos Latu score our first try after a couple of Manly players dived and missed. Mason coverts and its 6-6 after 23 minutes. No one really takes notice of Lino doing the conversion as there is a guy on his Harley doing donuts down the road hahaha good ol Blacktown. Tof Sipley has now come on to cause havoc and tear **** up with Gubby having a break. We are on attack again after a couple of minutes and James Bell comes up with a great run helped by a quick play the ball and Sam Cook bombs for Manu who dives but jusssssssstttt misses out. Got his finger tips, would of been try of the year if had come off. 20m restart Manly. Unfortuanitly Manly march upfield and put on a backline play and have a 3 on 3 move but Manu flies in off the wing and they skip the centre and the winger goes over for a try in the corner. AGain Hastings converts 12-6 23 gone. Couple of sets later Ogden does another awesum offload creating more 2nd phase play. Next set Manly make a break down our right side and chip ahead for Peter Schuster to score his 2nd try. Even though i hate Manly that was a good long range try. Hastings convert 18-6.
After we kick off Papalii forces an error and dives on the loose ball and the Manly player smacks him with a swinging arm. I blow up but no penalty and Tevaga runs in and grabs the guy and he gets penalised. Kefs!!!! What about the swinging arm. Tevaga is replaced pretty much after that and debutant Manaia Cherrington comes on and in the following set makes a great blind side dart and unloads to Semisi Fotu but he cant handle and possible try bombed. Next set Tof Sipley monsters up and has a mass collision with with Manlys Everett Vaurasi and gets up heaps dusty and groggy, Lino forces a goal line dropout and from the kick Chris Satae runs straight for Vaurasi and runs over him and hes KOed, TAXI!!!! Play is stopped while he gets helped off. We cant score but again produce good 2nd phase footy from Manu and Bell. But just on halftime Pita Godinet makes a line break and they score another try which Hastings convert so at halftime we are 24-6 down.
Halftime Thoughts
* Even though we down 3 tries i dont see any panic from the boys although in this crap field its going to be hard. They are the comeback kings
* Pat Sipley still on the bench????
* Ball handling is letting us down a little again due to the conditions
* Manly have made some concerning line breaks which sees them score a couple of long range tries
* Papalii has made about 1000 tackles, Manu up and down but being contained well. Tof Sipley is making HUGE collisions, James Bell very busy, Ogden great offloads
* Manaia Cherrington has made a huge difference
* CNK being nullified due to the conditions
* Theres about 100 people here and a good sprinkling of Warriors supporters. Jerseys, polos caps and scarfs everywhere
2nd half sees us have a great first set with Ofa Ogden tackled 1m out from the line for a handover. Next set again Cherrington sees an opening and goes for it but a slow play the ball halts momentum but Mason makes a line break but a slick ball to Paunga goes down with the line wide open. Scrum Manly but we are penalised 2 tackles later for holding down. Manly elect to take the 2 but Jackson Hastings misses his easiest kick of the day. Good cos hes acting like a dick like Mr look at me im the man kind of dick. Yeah your an ok player but your mouth is ****. Pat Sipley is on and his first hitup is a good one. Sam cook settles things down with a great touch finder 10m out. We have a couple of sets attacking but cant get through or around them. Manly meanwhile get the ball have a good set and force a dropout. 4 tackles later they spin it and Sam Cook misses the tackle after slipping over and the man of the people Johnno Wright scores and Manly are up 30-6 with 24 to go. If we need a comeback it needs to be now. Ive noticed in the last 5 minutes Gubby is back on and hes playing 2nd row and on the edge. Manly make another break and spin it wide with the centre chipping through but a Warriors player snatches out of mid air and its our boy Charlie Gubb. Wow. Def saved a try.
The last 2 sets of ours has seen heaps of pressure heaped on Mason with his last tackle options. They are offside but not getting called. Ligi Sao back on gets penalised for a high shot but 3 tackles later Manly have an error so no harm done. Our set see Pat Sipley have the best hitup of the match makes a line break gets tackles 3m out after dragging 4 defenders. We spin it wide but a bootlace pass to Manu sees us cough up possesion. Then we get penalised 1 tackle later. We again hold out and we are on attack and Mason produces a great last tackle kick but Junior Paunga cant gather and Manly ball. Again another Manly error from a forward pass and again we get penalised. This first 20 minutes of the 2nd half is really turning into a bludger of a game. Error penalty error penalty error penalty. The penalty count must be at least 46-39 to Manly. Finally an offload of ours sticks and its started by Gubb running out wide. Couple of plays later Papalii scores and Lino converts, 30-12 down with 17 to go. COMEBACK ON!!!!.
We have some momentum and are playing catch up footy. James Bell this time with a great offload sees Cherrington make a mini break, Manu chases the kick but great defence sees us not score. Ligi Sao this time has some stinging defence in the last couple of sets as things are starting to get niggly. Heaps of high shots but not getting penalised. Gubb has made another great run out wide. Then he does his custom grass cutter tackle and Bell comes over the top and smashes the Manly guy when hes falling with a awesum hit but gets penalised. With only about 7 minutes left the game is gone but the boys are still trying hard. Gubb out wide again does a magical offload to CNK who was supporting Gubb hard out after hes starting to get his arms free in the tackles makes a break but again we are tackled just short. Then with 2 minutes left Manly make a line break and chip ahead to score but no **** out of know where Gubb comes in and gets back there to ground the ball and save a try. So that was the game set match pretty much after that play. Dissapointing getting a loss.
Post Match Thoughts
The conditions didnt suit us at all. Our dangerous backs were nullified becos of it. There were some defencive lapses out wide that will be addressed and fixed no doubt but our forwards were solid as always in the middle.
Even though we lost we created heaps of opportunities to score, it was either scrambling defence or the last pass that was letting us down. Heaps to work on but no panic at all. The boys didnt look flat or anything which is also a good sign. I just think it was the fact that they have played 14 hard games in row and now they head into bye week with a chance to rest the niggling injuries, recharge the batteries and mentally switch off for a week.
Players of note
Manu was contained well. Mason was pressured alot but chose his moments well and made a couple of nice breaks. Ofa Ogden was very good. Excellent offloads. Sipley bash bros played well but also contained. Ligi Sao was strong. While Papalii and Bell very very busy in the middle. Tevaga didnt get much minutes possibly injured????
But my players of the match were Manaia Cherrington and Charles Gubb. Cherrington made an instant impact after probably having 1 maybe 2 training sessions with the team. He ran when it was on and backed himself while his service from dummyhalf was spotless. Great pick up.
Gubb was quiet but came alive in the last 20 when he went to the 2nd row and played on the edge. Great offloads and chased the ball everywhere. Supporting in attack and defence.
So i headed home dissapointed but not unhappy. Always things to work on. As i mentioned above good support for the boys out there from the supporters, who seemed to outnumber Manlys supporters. Heard Very loud and proud, also seen her rocking the Reserve Grade jersey, Hook us up Vera!!!!!! Also ran in to Blair another longtime supporter, good on ya champ. Toni Lewis hubby and kids were there as always cheering along. Will def come up and say hello next time
So its bye week this week but there next game is against the Panthers in Auckland on Saturday 24th June at 1pm. Get along and support as im sure its a stand alone game with the 1st grade playing on the Friday Night before. Just sum quick stats heading into this round Mason Lino is the highest point scorer in the league with 101 points and Junior Paunga is 2nd equal on the try scoring list in the league with 10
Enjoy the bye week guys

Team doesn't look as good as recent weeks but injuries in first grade does that.
Wenty have moved John Folau to the forwards, hasn't he gone nowhere. Vave in the forwards and just noticed an old Silvertail favourite, Magnus Stromquist on the bench.
Hopefully Hastings talent will stand out and Lane is needed to stand up and be counted or he will never get a run in first grade, although I must add, I reckon if he was gifted a run in firsts he would probably play a blinder.

I gather Cullen and Parker had the week off due to being selected as Perth tourists.

The Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles have engineered a come from behind 24-22 win over Illawarra at WIN Stadium.
The visitors found themselves down 10-0 early on but slowly worked their way back into the game to come away with an impressive win.
The home side suffered an early blow, dropping the kick off and putting themselves under immediate pressure.
From the ensuing drop out the Sea Eagles went on the attack but a cross-field kick on the last was claimed and a penalty saw Illawarra fullback Jai Field take the quick tap and race 80 metres downfield to open the scoring in spectacular fashion.
The try was not converted by Field and the home side led 4-0 after just four minutes.

The visitors found themselves down 10-0 early on but slowly worked their way back into the game to come away with an impressive win.
The home side suffered an early blow, dropping the kick off and putting themselves under immediate pressure.

Workers dusted by Mounties yesterday 44-12. No Cullen (in NZ with NRL squad) and Hastings went off with concussion before half time. Ex Sea Eagles Michael Oldfield and Liam Knight scored for Mounties
BWSE finish season with 8 wins from 22 games and 10th place on 12 team ladder.
Not a great start for the partnership with Manly - probably a pretty fair indication of our depth, or lack of it.
