Manly have used the bright lights of Las Vegas to prove they want to be among the NRL's true entertainers, putting on an attacking show to beat South Sydney 36-24.
In a pulsating season opener at Allegiant Stadium, the Sea Eagles scored three tries in the space of 12 minutes to turn an eight-point deficit into a 10-point lead on Saturday night (Sunday AEDT).
Amid fears about the skinniness of the ground and its potential to prompt conservative football, Manly spread the ball from superstar Tom Trbojevic's first touch and scored six tries in all.
