@TJ55 Not sure of your age but I was there for that game , an absolute travesty as the game was largely won by a try by you guys after a 7 tackle set.
That wasn’t the only score but it was a very very tight game until that point with the half time score being 6-4.
Andrew Ryan ( a young fella from Moree , whom I knew personally ) was playing centre for you guys and on the last tackle screamed down the right flank and almost made it.
Everyone thought it was the end of the set and a changeover , and as Andrew got up he saw Eddie Ward waving his arm for the last tackle so played the ball and one of your second rowers grabbed the ball and dived over , without a Manly player even attempting a tackle.
It really broke their hearts ( Manly ) and you went on to score again with Baa Baa Lamb also slotting a field goal at the end.
Of course back then , no bunker , no challenge.
One of the ones that sadly got away.
Funnily enough I saw Andrew years later at a Moree footy reunion and reminded him of it , he laughed and said “ Yep we got away with that one didn’t we “.
