I went out to Aussie Stadium yesterday . Got there in time to see Manly's Premier League match. To have finished 3rd & be defeated 52-12 by 6th placed Saints at Brookvale Oval & then to be defeated comprehensively by Canberra ( a team that Manly had beaten twice this year ) was a very ordinary way to finish up the season. The defence was dreadful. As mentioned previously there was an incident when 2 Manly defenders went to make a tackle & ended up colliding with each other & both players were down being treated for several minutes. It bought back memories of Steve Waugh & Jason Gillespie colliding in the outfield trying to take a catch.
For anyone else that was out at Aussie Stadium yesterday , they would agree that it was a great day out. The atmosphere was awesome & the Tigers fans were going off. The noise at the Captain Cook Hotel after the match was deafening. I'm hoping they can go on to beat the Dragons next Saturday night. This match is already sold out ( source : 2GB )
