MK Eagle said:Be serious - they are exceeding expectation but are deserved top 8 material but if we met them in a final theres little doubt its a Manly win by 20+. It was mentioned earlier - shut down Smith & more importantly the go foward & they have very little. Take round 1 away - Manly have improved by 200% since then......
It was me! Smith is their go forward. They have a lot of ordinary props who get extra metres because of Smith. Guys like Jaiman Lowe, Troy Thompson, Bryan Norrie & Adam Woolnough. These guys are all stoppable and Smith makes life easy for them. Easier said then done to nullify his influence but he do it and you'll smash them.
