Shute Shield: Round 15 Wrap Up & Finals Update
Southern Districts 27-25 Manly
Southern Districts flyhalf Rohan Saifoloi kicked a conversion after the full time siren to secure an unlikely two-point victory for the Rebels at Manly Oval.
In a match neither side would be overly happy with, Souths dominated possession and territory in the first half but trailed at the break 13-10 after a Tom Chesters intercept try swung momentum in the home sides favour.
Manly took control in the second half and led 25-13 in the 73rd minute, but with a Marlins player in the bin, the Southern Districts forwards played their way back into the match and levelled the scores right on full time.
While Saifoloi’s clutch conversion kept Souths' top three chances alive, the Rebels are expected to lose hooker Berndan Paenga-Amosa and flanker Connor Mitchell for the remainder of the season.
Northern Suburbs 57-22 Gordon
Norths broke a three match losing streak and claimed just their second win in nine matches with a convincing 57-22 victor
