The Who
Journey Man
I would think that this was the only match in the 11 we've played so far in which we were hot favourites.Yes. My venting is over. I am sure the boys will be filthy with themselves after that performance in front of their home crowd, especially after such a promising start to the game. We are playing cellar dwellers again next week. These are the games we should be winning.
I've been watching Manly play for around 60 years now and we often lose because of overconfidence.
Who expected us to beat Souffs, the Faders, Newcastle at Newcastle etc?
Most pundits believed we've be too mentally strong for the Titans, who usually give up points easily. They followed the script for our first two tries, giving us runaways. But the way both teams played was exactly the opposite to form. Losing the penalties, at home 9-5, didn't help. But the Titans have a good record against us, which is just one of the many strange traits about the NRL.
