Easts Tigers continued their winning run while the Sunshine Coast Falcons lost in Round 7 of the Intrust Super Cup over the weekend.
Seagulls push past Falcons
Jumping out of the blocks, Wynnum Manly proved too strong for the Sunshine Coast Falcons on Saturday at Pinklands Sporting Complex.
After winning their previous two clashes, the Falcons were forced to chase the game, conceding an early lead. Three unanswered first half tries handed the Seagulls a 16-0 half-time lead leaving the Falcons with plenty to do at the break.
In the second half, a high flying Travis Robinson try kick started a charge from the Sunshine Coast allowing his side to draw within two converted tries when Johnny Vuetibau scored. However a late field goal from the boot of Wynnum Manly's Matthew Seamark ensured any hopes of a Falcons comeback was extinguished.
The Sunshine Coast Falcons have the bye in Round 8 of the Intrust Super Cup.
