Look based on first half we are the better side by quite a way. Play anywhere near that and we will deserve to win. Whether we will or not might be in the hands of the refs.

I'm really surprised (pleasantly) that teams have not tried to utilise the bomb more as an attacking strategy against us. Apart from the one game I recall where one of the teams targeted Uate all game (who handled it beautifully), no team has really tested us out in this area.
Yep we need to start second half like the first half. We are making good ground with the ball, there are some good offloads coming, just need to be a bit smarter inside that red zone. Defense has been pretty good in the main.
Sharks are the kings of coming from behind of late, and our second halves have been poor. Looks like it's going to be a interesting finish if things go to form.

Howz about some penalties when the sharks are laying all over us. There were at least 3 occasions that they should have been penalized in that half!

Yeah I'd say Tom drops 1/6 of those directed at him. Probably the weakest part of his game.

Yes we need a little more practice in this area though.
I think we are generally good although we do have our slip ups every now and then
I believe Wright is really good under the ball so we are fine as Trbo and uate pretty good as well
Darcy has come back big enough to hold a bull out to p*ss.

While I think we have improved in this area with Wright coming in for Tafua, I disagree that Tommy is "pretty good" in this area. He seems to be pretty good when they are deep high kicks without any runners pressuring him, but he looks very vulnerable and unsure when there is pressure on
When did that ball ever go forward ??

Why can't the game just be decided by footy instead of the refs screwing up?

It didn't.
Scripted, just like Origin!

Sharks 5 SOO players will tire by the 60th - Manly must score first to psyche them
Two of those players where on the bench and hardly played.
