Never in the history of the premiership has a team shown such tremendous courage and will to win. Yesterday's match was Manly's sixth in the finals and their second replay. After their initial defeat by Cronulla in the preliminary through a semi-final, Maelsioniumphed "sudden death" games.

Against Parramatta they drew, then won the replay. Both times they came back after trailing. Then it was Wests in the final and another victory. grand final which an That win put Manideinto, the 11-all draw last Saturday. Within three days, the battered and bruised Manly men had to back up and take on Cronulla again.

I thought the task would be too much. But I underestimated this team's courage. takine' charge won in magnificently, forwards and after a 10-minute scoring spree that earned them three tries and a 15-nil lead the result was a formality. Saints beat Auckland 27-18 AUCKLAND, Tuesday. St George Rugby League team came back in the second-half to beat Auckland 27-18 at Carlaw we Park tonight.

Auckland scored three tries to one to lead 11-5 at half-time. St George winger Michael Sorridimi was named player-of-thematch. He scored Saints first try and added another runaway touchdown in the second-half.

Manly injections players to get had on pain to killing the field. one of them, rugged second Terry Randall, had a massive tally of six injections four in a shoulder and two in his groin. Is it any wonder that coach Frank Stanton was bubbling with pride over his players' performance. "It is a tribute to, their guts and determination," Stanton said proudly. "They achieved a formidable task and they are a credit to themselves and the game.

"It would be difficult to find a more determined effort than that of Randall's. But there was no way he was going to miss out today." Manly's dressing-room was crammed with players and supcorks porared to add to the exporters the champagne citement. For the first time in weeks the players were able to relax, knowing that everything was behind 1 them and that they were worthy champions. Indeed they were. From the start yesterday Manly took control and not once did they relax their hold.

Cronulla were expected to be fresher and fitter but they had no answer Manly's determination and professionalism. Certainly the run of play favoured Manly in the first half. They won the scrums 7-1 and had an 8-4 share of the penalties. This weight of possession, helped by Cronulla several times surrendering possession on first tackle, was the impetus Manly needed. They controlled the rucks The story of a mother's longing to reunite her family.

SPECIAL FATHER BEST A movie special favourites from the ROBERT YOUNG, ELINOR BILLY GRAY AND FIRST TIME 730 Cummings sacks Melbourne rider By ALAN SPEERS Harry White has been sacked as No 2 stable rider for Bart Cummings in Melbourne. White confirmed yesterday that he had received a telephone calll from Leon Corstens Cummings's stable foreman, telling him his services were no longer required. "I was shocked," White said. Midge Didham, the former New Zealand jockey, will now do much of Cummings's light weight riding in Melbourne. Roy Higgins, chasing his 12th Victorian jockeys' premiership win this season, will continue to do the heavyweight riding.

Cummings could not be contacted yesterday to explain his decision to sack Wsite, who has had a lot of success for the stable over the years. But it is understood that he was not happy with White's handling of the heavily-backed Dancairo in the Cumberland Handicap, at Moonee Valley last Saturday. Dancairo, 2-1 favourite, finished behind Beau D'or (20- 1). It has not been a happy year for Cummings' stable riee5eearlier this year, John Duggan lost his place to Kevin Langby as No 1 stable rider in Sydney. Langby has the mount on giant-striding Ashbah in the $100,500 Epsom Handicap, at Randwick on Saturday week.

Neville Voigt will be on stablemate Lloyd Boy, who trialled in great style at Randwick yesterday. Lloyd Boy (Voigt) beat Nose (Duggan) three a half-length promising Red in a trial. He clocked 1 min.13.25s. The Lloyd Boy mount gives Voigt a great chance of winning the Epsom-Metropolitan double. He is on Over The Ocean, 7-2 favourite for The Metropolitan, on October 2.

Undeterred, Eadie roared into the attack on the blind side four minutes later and shredded the Cronulla defence.

Two minutes later, Eadie put finishing touches on the first half when he crashed over try. Four minutes later, Eadie, who had kicked two goals previously, landed his third. Then, from Manly's seventh Rain clouds loomed over the the run of play was blackest in the Rugby League with calm authority.

Out wide they threatened danger, especially their great fullback, Graham Eadie, came into the play. "If there is a better footballer in the country than Eadie I have yet to see him," Stanton enthused. Eadie dominated the game as though it was his private domain. He surged into the attack at precisely the right time and always made ground. He actually crossed for the first "try" but referee Greg Hartley correctly that he was off-side when he took Graham Eadie, Manly-Warringah during celebrations in the named man-of-the-match by ROO SIDE -PAGE 1 the announced ROO SIDE named scrum win, powerfully built centre Steve Knight surged through and sent a fine pass to Gartner, who raced for the line to complete a 70-metre movement.

That made it 15-nil and even Stanton was confident that the premiership was Manly's. The only score in the second half was a field goal by Eadie. It came only seconds after Kite holds place Easts Rugby side By JIM WEBSTER Barry Kite, former high jump as a breakaway in the Eastern the Rugby Union grand final at the Kite replaces Peter Schmidt, who is suffering from boils. Schmidt played first-grade in rounds 14, 15 and 16, missed round 17 but played the last round and the major semi-final before boils again put him out of the final last Sunday. Kite did the work so competently as Schmidt's replacement that he has been retained.

Line-outs are Kite's forte. He is 6ft 4 and has high jumped nearly This will ensure that Easts, through Kite and John Chapple will rule this area of play. Easts did not consider Keith Besomo for selection because the Wallaby second-rower did not declare himself available. Besomo returned from the tour of New Zealand with a bone calcification in his right heel. Jim Tate, the prop, has been chosen although he has an injured elbow and will be watched carefully this week.

Easts, who won their last premiership in 1969, first break Randwick's total dominance over them this season to win on Saturday. Randwick have beaten 10. 22-11 and 20-19 (in the major semifinal) in their three clashes. The Rugby Personality of the Year will be announced at a dinner at the Rugby Club tonight. Rugby commentators from the press, radio and television each nominated three people and then voted on the 21 nominees in a preferential ballot.

The nominees are Grant Andrews, Bruce Battishall, Keith Besomo, Mitchell Cox, Bob Dwyer, the Ella brothers, Garrick Fay, Jim Feggans, Stephen Finnane, Martin Knight, Bob Lane, Laurie Monaghan, Tony' Melrose, Rod Phelps, Geoff Richards, Peter Ryrie, Jeff Sayle, Norm Tasker and Ken Wright. The grand final is sponsored by The Sydney Morning Herald and the Rural Bank. Cronulla made more of a contest of it in the second half, in which they won the scrums 8-4. But the bird had flown and twice in the second half could Cronulla give their dejected supporters any hope of a score. But through Cronulla's lack of skill and the strong Manly defence those chances were lost.

He hago added Hayden Brayn Clotz, Jim Gumbleton, Warren Wuttke, Hugh Southwood and Paul Graham to the training squad.

Because they live under the shadow of the axe for a string of losses, Soccer coaches have built their team strategy around solid defence at the expense of attack.

Addressing a meeting of Philips League and State under-19 coaches he called in Sydney yesterday, Gutendorf said: "As a former club coach, I know what it is to be sacked because a team has lost a few games, but if Australia is to qualify for the 1982 World Cup then we must be prepared to change our ways and build our game on aggression and attack." "We must be prepared to accept defeats on the way to the ultimate goal as we change the Australian style to blend in with world trends," he said.

The consistent Sheil Sail has firmed from 4-1 to 5-2 favourite in Welter betting.

Tamil Prince is next fancied at 4-1. Tapca (Geoff Allendorf) will be much fitter after his pleasing sixth to Softly Lad in a similar race at Canterbury on September 6. Ridden by Les Masters, he ran on well to finish close behind the placegetters. Tapa's preference for Canterbury is shown by his two wins and a placing from his past four starts.
