Good post Baz the forwards had to stand up today and they sure did. All of them put in today. Ballin's defence and kicking is always superb but today he finally realised he's got to cause some havoc from dummy half and he did it well today.
I thought Kite especially was fantastic today and threw a superb ball for the crucial match sealing Farrar try.
In the backs Foran was sensational, Lyon and Matai superb and Farrar also excellent. But Tony Williams, please, can someone please tell this guy it's not park footy. 6 runs and 0 tackles is just not good enough and it's only that we won so well today that yet another dead lazy performance wasn't a problem. Like everyone I love it when he smashes up the middle but 6 hit ups??? Please. Do not forget that Hoppa senior regularly made 20 hit ups per match using his size as our 7th forward and it's high time Williams started doing the same. The guy is huge and a weapon but 6 hit ups in 80 minutes doesn't cut it for me.
All in all a great performance today. In the fair dinkum stakes the Tigers were dead lucky to score 20 and if not for some dubious penalties and the ridiculous sin binning of Matai it would have been more like 46-12.
Well done Manly but every week is a mini GF so the pressure remains to keep a top 4 spot. Lets cane the Knights next Mon and set up a bumper crowd v Melb at Brookie Sat week.
