Great all round performance today everybody played well. Master class by young Turbo, Cust very impressive and the pack finished all over a big powerful Dragons pack. Tactics and interchanges spot on. Well done boys!
Hope things get better for you Torana. Go Manly

Croker and Corey were watching the warm up with a giant in Manly civies.
He was twice the size of Corey and when he turned around it was Toff. Never realized how truly giant in height and shoulder bredth this guy is
So sad that his joints let him down as he is exactly the mass we need out there

As far as I know it's if the player "deliberately tries to ground the ball in goal" that it's a drop out.
So a player can just put downward pressure on the ball and leave it there and it's deemed grounded whereas Dufty wasn't trying to ground it and we didn't have a hand on him so fair enough to play on.
I have previously seen players remonstrate to the ref when they have been called as forcing it when they didn't think they had and conversely claiming they forced when they hadn't.
Ultimately it's "interpretation of the ref" that brings in the greyness.
That's my understanding anyway.
In my opinion Dufty had no intention of grounding the ball in goal so play on.

The problem with your last sentence is if that pass did not go to hand and manly then grounded it, you can bet the try would’ve been taken off us. Black and white rules would make the game much more enjoyable.
Great win today. Must beat the titans next game going into the bye, then we are primed. Much needed injection to our points differential also!

That was the coming of age day for Tommy. All the brilliant talent in the world, but today he took the final big step of taking a game by the scruff of its neck and destroying Saints.

Thought this game was going to be a good test ,Having not a good record against them then down 8 nil .The game changed when McInnes went off ,I still think they would win but it helped our cause
Great win just need to keep it up with no major injures and could give the premiership a bit of a shake

I had the year from hell over the offseason mate. Hang tuff buddy. I’m sure you can make it good.
I'm almost exactly where you are. I have a good friend who went through a ghastly major op to get rid of cancer about a year ago. They took part of her stomach, gall bladder, bile ducts, and her whole pancreas - which of course, made her an instant, and most difficult kind of, diabetic.
She's struggled mightily for a year and then it returned with a vengeance. After weeks of palliative care, she's not expected to last for more than another two days.
We are all so fragile.
It's one of the reasons I love nothing more than immersing myself in our team - it gives us so much without it actually being the big life stuff.
Sorry for the big post.
Go manly!!
Both walker and suli were outstanding. Poor Brad Parker will struggle to get back in. Arguably Walkers’s best game for manly.
Interesting presser to say the least. I got the impression Des thinks we are kind of on track. Still a lot of improvement in this team. Good times!
