The Sea Eagles are flying high after a thrilling victory over the Rams, a win that could be the catalyst for a memorable season for the Manly Leagues team in the Sydney Shield.
They experienced a rollercoaster of emotions in their nail-biting 32-28 triumph over Moorebank last Sunday at Blacktown.
The first half was a masterclass, with five tries putting them in a commanding 26-0 lead at the break.
But as all true champions know, the game is never over until the final whistle blows.
The Rams fought back valiantly, clawing their way back to within eight points after 60 minutes.
It was a test of character for the Sea Eagles, but they held on to secure their second consecutive victory under Coach Anthony Watmough.
With three wins from six games, Manly Leagues are holding their own in their debut season in the Sydney Shield, sitting in sixth place.
Watmough praised his team's control in the first half, a display of determination and grit that will serve them well in the battles to come.
As they look to build on this special win, the Sea Eagles know that every game is a chance to write their own piece of rugby league history, and they are ready to seize the opportunity with both hands.
