Solar Q's

2011-11-11T10:57:00.001+13:00

Can Grass, or any other plants grow on the Moon??

No you can not grow any form plant or tree on the moon its simply because of the amostphere up on the moon also because there is hardly any gravity up in space and on the Moon.

How close do you have to be the Sun, before you burn up?

Approximately the Sun is 149 668 992 Kilometres (95 million miles) away from Earth, and if you go within that you will eventually burn and die. This man from Holland named Bill Nannes he flew to the Sun and burned and died within 3 seconds.

We have been learning about 'Outta this world.' And this is my presentation about how day and night process. I hope you enjoy what I have found out in this past week.

The Solar System has 100 Worlds

2011-11-09T09:22:00.002+13:00

Once ignited, The Suns powerful Solar winds begin to surge and blow creating a ‘Great Storm’.
These powerful winds known as the Solar winds are made up of atomic particals being blown outward from the ravishing hot Sun, slowly being pushed out just leaving the remaning of the dust and gas out in our Solar System.

With no more gas and dust to help grow the planets, comets, moons, minor planets and astroids. You may have seen it or not but the four inner planets closest to The Sun are much smaller compared to the four outta planets that’s because the four inner planets are much closer to The Sun, they are located where the Solar winds are stronger.

How Did The Solar System Form???

2011-11-09T09:18:00.001+13:00

This important question that scientists get thrown alot is ‘how was the Solar System formed?. After all, The creation of our Solar System happend billions of years ago before humans walked the Earth. Our evolution is closely tied to the evolution of our Solar System. Thus, without the knowledge from where the Solar System came from it’s hard to understand how mankind came to be.

Scientists believed that our Solar System all started with just dust and a whole lot of gas. Sicentists beleive that that this dust and gas started collapsing from under the cloud and thats how the Solar System started to form, the Solar System also started to collapse because of the weight of its own gravity. The matter contained could begin a giant moving circle in our Solar System, just like a water going down the drain.

At the center of that cloud spinning around and around like water goes down the drains, while the cloud spins round and round a star was formed and as it grew larger and larger as it contained more dust and gas the weight of it grew to large and it started collapsing under its own gravity.

What Is The Solar System???

2011-11-09T09:16:00.001+13:00

Our Solar System is made up of heaps of planets that orbit our very hot Sun that give us sunburn when we don’t put sun screen on, but in addition our Solar system is made up of consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets and heaps of dust and gas.

Everything in our Solar System revolves around our Sun, these things that revolve around are called Solar System orbits. Our hot Sun contains 98% of the material in our Solar System. In space they say the larger the object the harder it is for the objects to get away from the powerful Sun, that’s because of all the gravity that the Sun has.

Gravity attracts all the moving objects going past, the Sun when going near the Sun moves like a magnetic force. So the result of any planet getting away is nothing that’s because the gravity of the Sun pulls all the planets inward and half - way between all the planets get trapped.

My Dream Holiday 'Outta This World'

2011-10-31T14:38:00.001+13:00

“Brinngg” screamed the alarm. I tried to ignore it. I wanted to stay in my dream . My dream outta this world.

‘’ARRGGGHHHHH where am I.........’’ I groaned to my self well there was no one there, I looked around wondering where I was then I looked and saw nothing just red was around me and it was extremely hot I was sweating like a pig. I was walking around and I stepped on a rock and the ground under me dissappered I tried to grab the edge but it was just so far away I screamed “AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, HELP ME I DON’T WANT TO DIE.”

I started seeing a light I knew it was the ground I shut my eyes and hoped for the best I opened my eyes and I was hovering I looked up with thousands and thousands of little tiny creatures around me, I asked ‘’where am I?’’ to the little creatures they said “you are in the core of Saturn is’nt it cold in this part human,” said the leader of the little creatures “NO it’s not cold its hot and you little things are wearing jackets and snow hats,” I said to the little creature in a confuised voice, the little creatures replied “It is winter now, and what is your name?” I replied “Sione and what are you,” I said to the little creatures and they replied “We are the aliens of Saturn.”

After hours of questions, they finally put me down after me hovering for a couple of hours in the air then the leader of the aliens introduced them self to me and I introduced myself to him then he took me for a tour then while I was looking through my bag I found in my bag a camra with only one bar of life left in my camra with that last bit of juice in my camra I took a photo of me and my new friends.

And after a day at looking at cool alien stuff it was time to head back home planet earth 1 billion kilometers away from here I said my goodbyes with a tear in my eyes and said to them “Make sure you come and invade earth but make sure you get me, ok” and they all laughed and Paul said “of course Sione we will come,” he said with a big smile.

My Gold Cost Titans Review

2011-10-06T12:30:00.003+13:00

My Gold Coast Titans Review

Regular Season:
Wins: 6
Losses: 18
Position: 16th
Home Wins: 3 wins, 9 losses (16th)
Away Wins: 3 wins, 9 losses
Longest winning streak: 1
Longest losing streak: 6 (Rounds 15 - 21)
Players most used: 33 (equal most)
Tries Scored: (After Round 26):65 (fewest equal).
Tries Conceded:(After Round 26):109 (equal most)

Since the past four season the Gold Coast Titans have been making Finals week but this season it was a massive fall from grace battling for the wrost thing in NRL the wooden spoon in round 26 they would battle it out against the side that fell from grace last season as well the Parramata Eels, but sadley the Titans would crack at the last minute and lose and get that kitchen hardware.

Next season:
With the likes of Jamal Idris, Beau Champion and two powerful front - rower Luke Dougals and the strong Nate Myles all coming to the Titans next year.

Next season there will be heaps of departures like high - flyer's Esi Tonga and Luke Capewell, even though the Titans have had only been a NRL club for only a short amount of time they have been already three legends for the great club and all three of those legends are going there separate ways like Nathan Friend is off to New Zealand to join the New Zealand Warriors and Anthony Laffranci going to Super League to join St. Helen's and who could forget this games great servant Preston Campbell is hanging up his boots for good.

Where they struggled this season:
Across the park spreading out and using the hole width of the field and also struggled with preventing try’s.

Conclusion:
Well I hope to see the Titans in the Grand Finals next season with arrivals coming in from the Bulldogs and the Roosters and more.

Cross Country 2011

2011-10-04T12:46:00.001+13:00

As I was huffing and puffing running down the rocky and bumpy track which was new to us year 7 and 8 who had never run this course before. As we come to the first kilo-meter finished I felt like this was the Cross Country that would never end it was so tiring.

Me and my friend Junior had reached half way and our running T - shirts were drenched with sweat we were running up and down stairs round and round but it seemed like it was never gonna end ‘’come on Sione you can do it nearly there,’’ as Junior was encouraging me I picked up the inspiration and used it and carried on running I said to myself ‘’YES I CAN DO IT.”

We got out of the bush area and entered the reserve and the teacher standing at the corner said ‘’one more lap around the reserve then sprint to that finish line,’’ said Mr. Umu, I just looked at Junior and I bet we were thinking the same thing lets finish this together.

We ran the hole reserve and finished me and Junior were so proud of each other and we hope the collage cross country would be more exciting than this years.

Broncos Fairy tale Victory

2011-09-19T18:35:00.003+12:00

As the Brisbane Broncos come off a thrilling victory over last years champions the St. George Dragons there hopes and dreams to send Locky out with a bang. As we all saw in the when fullback Alex Glenn flew through the air to claim the ball his foot smacked right into the cheek of the inspirational skipper Darren Lockyer which resulted in him inserting 3 metal plates in his cheek but returning second - rower Sam Thaiday says ''we won't need Locky if he is'nt cleared to play that just means our young guns will just have to step up to the plate such rookies as Corey Norman and Ben Hunt and more.

Lockyer says ''I will be fine come the Preliminary's and I'll make sure us Brisbane Broncos get a spot in that Grand Finals''.

We know it will be a tough game and 1 team will have to come out a winner I give

best of luck to both teams this Friday at the SFS Stadium at 7:45 pm (local time).

MANU SAMOA

2011-09-15T15:39:00.006+12:00

SAMOA (Pool D)

Best World Cup Performance:

Made the world cup Quarter - Finalist in 1991 and 1995.

SAMOAN PEDIGREE:

Samoa were not even invited to play in this years World Cup.

Samoa have featured in since. In 1991 they made the biggest upset in Rugby World Cup history 13-16 and they qualified and made it to the Quarter - Finals. Repeated it in the next two World Cups but had a rough time winning games as they always found themselves in the same pool as England and South Africa in the last two World Cups.

STAR PLAYER:

Alesana Tuilagi:

At a starting weight of 118kg has a build of foward but has the speed of a fullback this Samoan wrecking - ball is a forced to be reckoned with on the field, scoring 17 tries in 27 games and took his team the Tigers to the Premiership Final this season. Since joining the Samoan team in 2002 and has gone on to play 21 tests and nine tries and countinuing.

No More Mr. Nice Guys

2011-09-15T14:51:00.004+12:00

West Tigers Big man Gareth Ellis says '' The Tigers must get over the razzle dazzle business and start getting ruthless and hungry since the finals are so close''. The big second - rower since joining the Tigers, he has also been a key figure in the Tigers nine - game winning streak and he has caught heaps of eyes in the league world. Ellis knows that their attacking game can get them so far in these finals situations.

He knows aggression is the best way to guarantee their finals spot, since 05 the Tigers have been bigger, better, faster and stronger than before but after their last years loss to their feared opponents St. George Dragons, Ellis says '' lose the nice guy image, being fancy will probably win us all the fans in the world but wont win us that title that the Tigers have been hungry for since 2005 .

This weeks opponets are fresh off a loss to the on form Brisbane Broncos the New Zealand Warriors but if the Tigers use the Warriors loss to their advantage the Tigers could actually win this match - up.

This time last year the Tigers were facing off against the Sydney Roosters to determind who carrys on but will year be the year of the WEST TIGER??????.

For this unit we are in one of four teams:

Brumbies, Force, Rebels, Stormers.

My team is Stormers

There will be a number of tasks for us to navigate to achieve our goal of an excellent result in this unit. There are a mixture of individual and team tasks to be completed. The main task that will show our learning in this unit will be a Hyperstudio presentation about one of the countries in the World Cup competition.

Furniture Design

2011-07-15T10:55:00.003+12:00

Recently our class Room 19 has been designing furniture for our ‘Street’ which is our area for the year 7&8 students. We started by identifying needs in the Street like how us students having to eat our lunch on the hard cold ground and how we had to sit on the ground in our team assembly’s.

After identifying the problems with the street we researched ideas off the Internet and with furniture design and took some of those ideas and transformed it in to our own creation then after we found those ideas we put them together then sketched it on the paper.

When we had the idea and plan on what we were going to do we collaborated on what we could develop our original idea and made it better, so far I am up to my paper mashaying my design.

History Of Cars

2011-05-19T10:04:00.008+12:00

Today cars are all new, they are bigger, better, faster and stronger. In history cars were constructed out of wood and only had three wheels and looked like a horse carriage also had no doors no hoods and no steering wheel so think if you had that car and you had a lever that could break or not or you could fall out if you weren’t careful. Imagine!.

Today's cars are improved out of sight! like also now a days engines per, but in the past they used to blow-up in your face and your, face would be covered in black smoke. Now cars come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and some come with different construction like the engine will be bigger or the wheels will be
shiner.

Through out time it has changed and I hope in the future I hope Cars can be hover-crafts and then hover-crafts into solar powered hover-crafts.

Looking Forward Looking Back

Old Rivals...

2011-04-07T09:14:00.002+12:00

As we come off a 52-6 win against the Northcote Tigers we are preparing for a much bigger game we are taking on our 2009 rivals the Richmond Rovers we are going into war this Saturday on our home turf.

This might be one of our hardest games this season after beating them 54-23 they hunting for revenge all they got on there mind is ''DESTROY Mt. Wellington''. As we go into this game with a win last week we are on a roll already but theres a saying that comes and go's it go's '' To be the best you got to beat the best'' and that's what we are going to do this week against the Richmond Rovers.

I hope we take the Richmond Rovers down. I believe we can win I believe we will DESTROY the dogs this week on Saturday.

Bird for jersey No.6????

2011-04-05T12:53:00.002+12:00

As the Gold Coast Titans come off their first win against the Canberra Raiders 23-24, they have a much bigger Crissie's on their back......they are without Playmakers for this weeks battle against the North Queensland Cowboys and with Nathan Friend still out and don't know when he will be back in business, it could be nasty this week for the Titans.

As Greg Bird and Riley Rankin compete for the No.6 to join Scott Prince in the playmaker position. Who will get the spot???, I really hope Greg Bird will take the position because the Gold Coast need the experience for this weeks game.

I really hope the Gold Coast Titans take out their second win this week on Friday 7:30pm (local) Dairey Famers Staduim. Come on Titans bring it home.

In Praise Of Adverbs

2011-04-05T12:41:00.010+12:00

Adverbs are used to give more information about a verb.
For example:”This is Preston Campbell sprinting furiously for the winning try for the NRL Grand Final aganist the Canterbury Bulldogs.”

3 Days To Go

My thoughts about Camp Take Charge

2011-03-24T10:52:00.002+13:00

Before Camp:

As we entered the street after lunch wondering curiously what our groups, this is so nerve racking moment, Miss Tito called out the group and said Mrs. Nua was our Teacher and the leader for Motivtorz, leaders are Sione and Paulitia I stood up wounder Oh No what will be happening I am a leader how will I lead, how will I do it and what if I crash and burn. We went to the hall and did a couple of group activities one was when we had to take our whole group across the hall without touching the floor it was a cool activity.

Anyway I am really looking forward to going to ‘Camp Take Charge’ (Camp TC) with all the cool stuff we will be doing.
YEAH MOTIVATORZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

After Camp:
As I went up the ‘’Rock-wall’’, when I was half-way up the wall my leg’s were getting weaker and weaker and my arms were getting numb but I did’t want to let go, I just had to reach press the button and then it will all be over ”COME ON SIONE YOU CAN DO IT!’’ yelled my group.
And then.................just as I was going to press the button I slipped as I was coming down fast
all what was going through my head was ‘I had failed my group,’ I hit the ground with my head dangling in shame, as I walked back to the pit of where our group was everyone was clapping for me I felt really cheered up inside. I was really happy.

My overall highlight about camp was Rock-up because it gave me really good encouraging skills, the Rock-Wall was my favorite because it taught me to ‘never give up when you got mates in the corner’.

Titans are going to bounce back

2011-03-18T09:14:00.003+13:00

How to put up a tent

2011-03-11T14:31:00.002+13:00

Materials: Tent (3 person )
->‘Fly’(1)
Pegs (12 of)
Poles (3)
Hammer/Mallet (1)
Ropes (8x)

Method: 1. Find a clear level grassed
area away from over hanging branch’s
of tree’s.

2. Open the bag with the tent in it.

3. Take out your tent also unfold it on the ground away from over hanging
branch’s.

4. Grab the little bag full of peg’s and pole’s and take them out and lay them out.

5. Connect the 3 poles together and line it up because there is 2 long poles and 1
short pole.

6. Connect the poles to the tent in an angle and clip it up and tie the poles with the
tie on the top of the tent.

7. Connect the poles to the corner of the tent where you will hammer in the pegs.

8. Tie the top of the tent ( it look like a shoe lace) tie it so the poles don’t spring off.

9. Now once you have tied the shoe lace to the poles so they don’t spring off and you
found a good space where you are comfortable at you can put on the ‘fly’ which
covers the tent from bad weather.

10. When you have finished hammer the fly to the ground.

11. Then your DONE!!! you have succefuly built a tent.

My Usual Mornings

2011-02-22T10:32:00.006+13:00

As I woke-up with my head dangling on the side of my bed, I heard my Mum ''Roaring'' across the hall-way ''Sione GET UP YOU HAVE SCHOOL TODAY'' as I draged myself out of bed to go wash my face and brush my teeth, looking outside to check the weather, I said to myself ''It's going to be a really hot day today'' as I entered my bathroom half a sleep I dipped my face in freezing water then I was wide-awake.

Later after that I walked into the kitchen smelling pancakes almost thinking I was in a pancake shop I dashed to the plate cupboard and then zoomed to the oven for some pancakes I chomped and munched on each pancake it was like heaven on earth soon after that I packed my lunch.

Eventually we Jumped in the car and hit the road on the way to school, once I arrived to school and seeing all my friends.

Friendship is a crown Jewel
Feeling tired is feeling dead
He was a the one their through all the trouble.

Another Year of Tech

2011-02-18T10:15:00.002+13:00

Yesterday, on a wounderful sunny day, Pt.England went back to start another year of TECH AT TAMAKI. We had arrived to our destination Tamaki Collage but no one was their besides our tech teachers from last year as they set off to their classes ready to do cool and wounderful things, people from Electronics and Sicence were still waiting it was like theteachers had forgotin about us. As the two groups were sitting there woundering if our teachers were coming or not. They finally came to get us we were really happy they came, walking to our room I was wondering what kind of fun stuff we were going to create in Electronics.

At Tamaki the area of learning that I am in this Term was Electronics so fun when we walked in there were funny smells first off we checked the roll to make sure everyone was there in class we talked about the wonders of Electronics. In our lesson it wasn't anything major we just talked about ''what can we make to solve the little problems'' like a hat with a fan on it or a L.E.D light on a hat. As we went in to our lesson more we talked about SENSORS and how they can help us with the little things. As the clock went Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock the session was drawing closer and closer to an end.

RING,RING,RING tech was finished for this week I hope as the weeks go on we will do more really SPECTACULAR things.

My Holiday

2011-02-14T12:35:00.006+13:00

As I was teetering on the edge, my heart was pounding! Looking down to the water with Jonty and Richard egging me on to jump so......... I closed my eyes and..... JUMPED!

I was coming down fast, like a bullet from a gun then....’’SPLAT’’ in the water! As I rose up over joyed that I had conquered my fear! When I got out of the pool I started to feel the bruises from my hard landing so I went for another jump! This time I ran to give me a boost, I jumped. When I landed it was like a grenade in the water.

After a couple more jumps we’d had enough for one day. As we were walking to the bus-stop the bus had arrived so we zoomed off to the bus. We made it! As we were sitting in the bus huffing and puffing our stomach’s were also grumbling. As we rode back all we could think of was food, food and food and food was our main priority. We had reached our destination home, as soon as we got off the bus we ran to the nearest takeaway ( Fish & Chips Shop ). We ate like we were on an episode of "Survivor"!

It was a fun time at the pools maybe next holidays I can go again with Jonty and Richard and maybe even some more of our friend's.

Wishing everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS

2010-12-13T13:07:00.003+13:00

From Sione and Semiliu we just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas in Pt.England.

My Market Day Reflection

2010-12-09T12:17:00.002+13:00

What did you enjoy most about Market Day?
Selling my product which was a calendar

How well prepared was your group?
not as good but I learned something get it finished at the right time.

How popular do you think your product was?
not as popular as JLD shakes because a calendar is not a food.

What was your role in the group and how well did you fulfill your role?
doing the graphics for the calender and i felt I did a OK with the Graphics.

Under each of the following headings write anything that you would do differently or improvements you would make if you did it again.

Your Product?
It was average, and I would add colour finish in time.

Your Advertisement?
next time we do this and get the ad finished.

Your stall set up?
alright but we only had two boring desks.

Would you like to do this again, and why or why not Yes because next time I will know what to do a better calendar and stall and finish in time.

Market Day for the year 7

2010-12-09T12:13:00.003+13:00

Tick Tock Tick Tock me and my partner Beni were on the brink of finishing trying to bind and punch holes through but time was way ahead of us RING we looked at each other this can’t be good for us half an hour before the first lot to come to our Market Day, tension was in the air for us to finish but time was flying 10 more minutes.

It was coming down to 2 minutes and time was not on our side nerves were building each time I binded a calender 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,FINISH we finished just in time to sale we took it out and the first load of people came through and we were set up and ready to sale but now the problem was how much we were going to sale it for ‘’$2.00 no $1.50 yeah we will go $1.50 then’’ ‘’that's our price we will sale it for then’’ said Beni.

Market Day was coming to an end but we were cleaning up fast so we can smell the air of freedom also called lunch we all stormed out like a pack of crazy who had not seen daylight in ages. Overall I think me and my partner did alright, but for next time I really need to make sure to GET IT FINISHED!!!!!!.

The Sport Test

2010-11-26T10:56:00.002+13:00

The day of reckoning had finally come for the students of Pt.England who would have to Sprint, Jump and throw .

My first impression was great with all the circutes set up as they were it was so adrenalin pumping and nervracking my heart pounding 1 billion beats a second that's how nervous I was.

The first sport we went off to do was my personal favorite DISCUS!!! as I went up to the mark so nervous so scared I picked up the discus and threw it so hard I almost pulled a muscle throwing it I was happy to here that I came second or third but so short of third I was ultimately gutted to hear that I wasshort of third tears was coming but their were allot of other throwing sports to take part in.
We went to shot-put another chance for glory and I said to my self I hope I don’t mess this up this time. I was up I felt like spewing cause the nerves had just kept buliding i put it up to my chin I used all my might to throw it looked at the teacher in charge she yelled 1st yes I was first YES!!!! I was so proud of my self I was coming first but then just when I thought who would come knock me off first place the speedster Feki NO!!! I said this can’t happened second place it will have to do suddenly when I thought shot-put was finish but we had to battle for first, second and third I slipped off the scale I did not come any-thing I was so gutted.

As the rest of the day flew by I wanted to rewind the day and do it again that’s how great it was I had so much fun doing athletics and can’t wait for 2011 ATHLETICS.

My MI test I thought was alright but I could increase some of my category's on my MI test. Some of the things that are on my MI test don't need any adjusting. I could be much stronger in my art and number areas. What I can do to increase these strengths is to practise and practise. The area I could increase is really my number smart because I am really low in that subject but I could increase. My body smart could be increased if I really exercise more.

My strengths in my MI test are Interpersonal and my Self smart, because I'm people smart this is because I like to play with friends and communicate well with others.

Volcano Report

2010-06-16T10:27:00.005+12:00

WHAT IS A VOLCANO? Layers and layers of little fragments and ash named cinders.

WHAT ARE VOLCANOES?

Mountains with chambers underground that contain magma and other solid liquid.

HOW ARE THEY FORMED?

When an eruption occurs ash and little fragments named cinders are left floating in the sky all the layers created by the ash and the little fragments and that is how are volcano is formed. HOW DOES AN ERUPTION OCCUR? y When the two tectonic plates collide underground and then ou got yourself an eruption.

STRATOVOLCANOES are found in Mt.st.Helens in the U.S and Mt.Fuji in Japan,Stratovolcanoes have really high-silica and it also contains alot of viscous magma. Eruptions explode with ash and small fragments named cinders, Stratovolcanoes produce slow-moving lava. Stratovolcanoes are found sometimes on subduction zones, the most recent eruption involving a stratovolcano was Mt.St.Helens in the U.S. SHIELD VOLCANOES named after an ancient warriors shield obviously because it is shaped like it. Shield volcanoes also have shallow sided mounds and they also have flat bottemed craters. Shield volcanoes have low silica which is good but produce fluid lava. Most Shield volcanoes are found on the oceans crust. CINDER CONES are the smallest volcanoes in the world. Cinder cones contain alot of dissoved gas. When a cinder cones erupts it spits little fragments cinders, Cinder cones have a sunset crater in Arizona.

In Auckland there are 48 volcanoes and 40% is Cinder cones and 8% is Strato and Shield volcanoes.

I really hope I don't get to see an eruption because I don't want to DIE!!!!

This is my portrait and I thought I did a good job of it.
The NRL symbol next to me in my portrait symbolizes me and my generation of Rugby League and everyone who plays like my uncle Joe Galevo who plays for the Manly Sea Eagles.
I think I am looking pretty tough - I get my toughness from my MUM!!!

My NRL uncle

2010-05-14T12:44:00.005+12:00

My uncle Joe Galuvoe plays for the Manly Sea Eagles and plays what I play in league - PROP!!! He started off rocky with the team and their first game wasn't that great they lost 22-6 to the West Tigers they were sad but they did not let it get them down.

Their second game was against his old team the Parramatta Eels this to him is a rivalry against Jarred Hyane and his team. My uncle Joe Galuvoe plays for the Manly Sea Eagles and plays what I play in league - PROP!!! He started off rocky with the team and their first game wasn't that great they lost 22-6 to the West Tigers they were sad but they did not let it get them down.
Their second game was against his old team the Parramatta Eels this to him is a rivalry against Jarred Hyane and his team winning 24-24. Round 3 was the mighty New Castle Knights and finally after 2 loses they came out on top. Wow what a win 36-12, I was so proud. For their next game they were here at Mt.Smart Stadium and of course I was there too. It was Round 4- the competition was heating up. The New Zealand Warriors winning 2 games in a row looking to make it 3. But their luck was cut short it was a close game 14-6 the Warriors showing the people great defence. Round 5 was an easy game with a whopping win against the Cronulla Sharks with a score of 40-12 that was a huge win for them 3 straight wins in a row. Round 6, after the cap scandal with the Storms the Sea Eagles would have to use everything in their power to win, and they did just what they said, and just beat Storms 18-16. Round 7 It was Manly Sea Eagles taking on my favorite team the Gold Coast Titans. I had to pick Titans or Sea Eagles. I couldn't make a choice. It was a win-win situation which saw the Titans came out on top 22-24 a 2 point win- I was sad.
Round 8, already man that was fast, another close game for the Sea Eagles just beating the South Sydney Rabbitohs and they won 22-30 what a game that was brilliant.
Round9 was the mighty St.George Illawarra Dragons and they would have to take on the big dogs of the yard. I was rooting for them and they pummeled the Dragons, they were an unstoppable force.Round 10 trying to stay above the 6th spot, Sea Eagles will have to win if they want to stay in the top 3.
So be watching the Manly Sea Eagles.vs.Parramatta EelsSunday,May 17 at 7:00 pm. I certainly will be!
