No complaints here. Won fair and square. Matai no try was fair enough.
I don't think Manly played their whole hand here, and Souths played very well in defense. I also think there is plenty of material for Toovs to look at to try and find a way to beat these top teams. Both the Roosters and Souths have incredible line speed, as do Canterbury that stifles the time Manly has to create structure in attack.
When you look at Souths and the Roosters these guys have incredibly fast and tall fowards (Luke Burgess in particular) who just pound away at speed. Melbourne and Manly are more old school with the passing and kicking plays. It will be a very interesting finals series.
As long as Manly lock in 4th its all good.
Finally, Souths played the dew better.
No premiership has been won in August. On to next week!.
