Damien Cummins, Kotoni Ale, Nick Ryan and Sam Figg reflect on Manly’s 34-3 victory over Randwick at Coogee Oval on Saturday

Northern Suburbs have maintained their fine start to the new season with an impressive come from behind 31-10 win over Easts at Woollahra Oval. 21-year-old flyhalf Josh Kay had a day to remember with a 21pt individual haul.

One swallow doesn’t make a summer as they say, and a win in your first game of the new season, while an obvious positive, is not necessarily an indication that long term success will follow. But for Northern Suburbs last Saturday, their opening day win over West Harbour, 32-7 at Concord Oval, did feel a lot like a breath of fresh air.
