Class of 96
Bencher
"As they so often do, Manly somehow overcame a week of high adversity to record a courageous win in Auckland.
The Sea Eagles though somehow pushed through the drama to record a gutsy 22-12 win.
Victory pushes Manly four points clear at the top of the NRL competition table after their nearest rivals faltered, amazingly leaving the club in crisis poised to claim rugby league’s minor premiership.
Player unrest seems to evaporate when Manly walk on to a football field. They are a remarkably resilient, patient and focused footy team."
Pretty hard to argue with the sentiments in this article.
The comparison with the '78 side in terms of mental toughness is a beauty and on the money, as I have been fortunate to see both teams.
