Rugby league Immortal Andrew Johns was flabbergasted at the body language of the Manly Sea Eagles<\/a> as the Penrith Panthers<\/a> destroyed the hosts in a 46-6 thumping tonight.<\/p>\n

Des Hasler's men looked worryingly flat as Panthers winger Brian To'o crossed for his second try in the 24th minute, extending Penrith's lead to 20-0 in the first match of round four.<\/p>\n

Sixty minutes of game time later, the last-placed Sea Eagles had plummeted to their fourth consecutive defeat to start the season and crashed to their heaviest defeat at Brookvale Oval.<\/p>\n

"The body language. Yuck," Johns said on Nine's coverage during Manly's horrible first half.<\/p>\n

Melbourne Storm legend Billy Slater was clutching for answers as Manly declined in the opening 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

"What do you do?" Slater said.<\/p>\n

"Des has to do something. He has to make a positional change – whether it's bringing Brad Parker over from the left-hand side and Moses Suli, they swap.<\/p>\n

"Something needs to change to get a different result because every time Penrith come down to the left-hand side, they're either scoring tries or looking like they're scoring tries."<\/p>\n

Johns added: "At the moment, they can't contain (Viliame) Kikau.<\/p>\n

"That edge has no competence defensively."<\/p>\n
