Add to that not one of our players attempting to catch the ball for their first try. Not good enough.The explanation is simple if you watched the match without Manly beer goggles on.
Manly started making stupid errors and Parra scored of many of them. Aloiai dropping the hall, Ben T sloppy play the ball, Paulo running too close to the sideline and gets bundled over it. Parra scored after each of those mistakes.
Give away a couple of penalties
That is eels get 90% possession and embarrassment is to Manly, not the NRL.
