Interesting Stat from our last 3 games

[Jimmy Jazz]

Manly has not won three consecutive games by a lower winning point differential post 1983 when the try was changed to 4 points.

2012
Round 8 - Manly 12 - Bulldogs - 10
Round 9 - Manly 18 - Raiders 12
Round 10 - Manly 24 - Broncos - 22
Total Difference - 10 Points

For a lower than 10 points winning differential you would have to go back to 1973

1973
Round 13 - Manly 4 - St George - 3
Round 14 - Manly 13 - Newtown 11
Round 15 - Manly 14 - North Sydney - 12
Total Difference - 9 Points

Absolutely, the signs are all there, perhaps even Manly vs Sharks.

Just another reason why that appreciation thread was long overdue.

Apologies my error, 5 points it was.
Always a risk when balancing your day job with doing Manly stats.
