Have to be appreciative of the way Ciraldo spoke in his post game interviews, didn’t look for excuses and had some praise for Turbo and DCE, words of a quality human.

Croker “ Looked dangerous out of dummy half as always”.This is where I stopped reading these ratings.

 

[Niallcc]

Clear obstruction DCE was sliding across and Xerri ran on his outside shoulder and made full contact. They also scored 2 tries out of pure arse. The were lucky to get to 22 points.

Mahoney should have got sin binned the little ****ing weasel for his strike on Garrick.

Just like Josh ‘Grub’ Reynolds. I will always remember his milking a penalty by putting himself in a dangerous position to win in 2013.

Score 22-20 Manly
Crowd: 38,967

close...and got close on the one that mattered!

Yes!

1AM AND ALL IS DEFINITELY WELL!!!!!

WTF????
Everything in this comment is wrong.

Lachlan Croker​

Looked dangerous out of dummy half as always

Huh?

 

[Rosko]

Winning any way at all would have been fine (of course) but to win with two brilliant tries made it... special.

 

[globaleagle]

BTW, it was good to see ex bulldog Jim Dymock, looking very happy in the Manly coaches box after the recent win!
