The roar of the crowd accompanied with the celebratory flash of fire was an appropriate response to the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles' success on Saturday.

Off the back of a one point victory over the New Zealand Warriors last week, the Sea Eagles didn't disappoint the crowd of 6,380, dishing up an entertaining 80 minutes of footy.
Following a successful penalty kick off the boot of Manly's Reuben Garrick, Brad Parker tumbled across the try line to earn the first four of the match.
Garrick went for his own as the first half reached its 20 minute mark, putting the scoreboard to 12-0 following a successful conversion.
Tom Trbojevic put his long stride to use, taking a short and sweet sprint to earn four followed by a full flight dash from Jason Saab to extend the Eagles' lead to 26-0 at half time.
Saab kicked into gear once again to begin the scoring for the second half, and was matched by another star try from Garrick.
Manly were undeniably the best on ground to earn a 36-0 victory against the Titans.
The side's victory is something coach, Des Hasler had hoped for heading into the round, but said in the post match press conference it's all about confidence.
"At this stage it was important we came and got back-to-back wins to build on last week's game and continue to have momentum," Hasler said.
"Our forwards created plenty of space and options, we managed to play off the back of it.
"We pretty well set it up in the first half, conditions fell away in the second half but I'm very pleased to walk away with the win.
"It's the confidence which we have been working at, full credit to the players. It's a start, that's all it is, we won't get ahead of ourselves, that's for sure."
