A Jason Saab hat-trick and golden point field goal from skipper Daly Cherry-Evans saw the Manly Sea Eagles post an important win in Townsville against a desperate Cowboys.

The Sea Eagles got off to the perfect start in the match, putting in a strong defensive set to get into the game to set the tone and when they got an opportunity with the ball, Cherry-Evans showed his skill to help set up the first try, holding up the defenders with a dummy before passing long to an unmarked Saab who scored.

However, their first set after points saw an error and gave the Cowboys a chance to hit back, but they weren’t able to immediately capitalise, even butchering a try when Chad Townsend spilled the ball once he ran over the line.

Thankfully for the Roosters-bound halfback, he didn’t have to wait long to make amends, scoring the home side’s opening try only moments later, starting the successful play when he threw a pass out wide to his right to winger Kyle Feldt who kicked in field for a trailing Townsend who made no mistake. Valentine Holmes kicked the conversion to draw scores level 6-6.
