In the end at a glance, the 2011 minor premiership was just about in Manly's grasp as they almost took the lead during the 3rd quarter of that game v the Broncos.
If a couple of borderline no-calls against the Broncos had been made and Manly broke through and scored a couple more tries, it would have been Happy, Happy days.
Lol at the gimps saying "lolmanly", they almost gave every Manly hater a stinging slap in the face.
Don't get too excited about the Roosters flogging the 2nd-string Storm team either - the Storm coaching staff know what they are doing and no doubt would have fielded a much stronger team if Manly HAD won the prior game by a fair margin.
The Knights are going to face a markedly more intense and difficult battle on the field against them next weekend.. Go Knights in that game though!!
In fact, Manly, Knights & Warriors wins next week would be pretty sweet as the icing on that cake would be that the loser of Dragons v Tigers would be gone..
We can only hope.
