Matai is totally awesome! He says 'um' an awful, um, lot. edit: I like how he had to go into cliché mode when asked if Manly's forwards would be happy lussick is out. *real answer: - Our forwards aren't scared of anyone so I'm sure they don't give a rats that he's out. Also, nice question journo...'do you like the send offs in the game?' ...sigh, to be a journo.
1. Was only a year or two back that we lost to these no hopers. 2. The referees are the other unknown factor.
