The Sea Eagles were left licking their wounds after a tough battle that saw them fall to South Sydney in the Jersey Flegg Cup clash.
The loss will serve as a stark reminder that in rugby league, every point matters and every opportunity must be seized with both hands.
Despite their best efforts, Manly were unable to reignite their fire in the second half and fell short of securing the victory.
The team will need to regroup and analyze their performance in order to come back stronger in the next round.
The disappointment of defeat will serve as fuel for the Sea Eagles as they look to bounce back and soar to greater heights in the competition.
As the old saying goes, it's not about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
