Lussick didn't add any impact off the bench, but smoking joe was awesome.

Great win considering they often get us at the SFS and they were pushing hard at 14-24. Like everyone else I've been waiting for a big win for a while.
With the bye next week, if the rep players can get thru Origin, then it will be all systems go for the run to the finals.

Is this a co-incidence?

I had to send the wife out to walk the dog in the rain after she got home from work this afternoon.

When she first got home, we were leading 24 nil and within a minute of her walking in the door the Chooks scored and ended up scoring their 14 unanswered points and they looked like making a come back.

After their first try I jokingly said to her that she must be Manly's bad luck and then when they scored again, I again emphasised that she must be their bad luck. I then jokingly asked her if she can go back out until the game was over. She agreed and suggested taking the dog for a walk so I jokingly hurried her out the door.

The funny thing was that within 1 to 2 minutes of her leaving the house to take the dog for it's walk, Manly scored and kept scoring for the rest of the game with the Chooks failing to score another point. 😀

I follow these games with the app on my phone and going by the stats.... It's saying the possession is in the roosters favor but they're down 8 try's to 3. The penalties are also in their favor. So by the sounds of that it's a good performance.

WHat app buddy

I could understand it if we were playing the Dogs. But the Chooks?

Mate - I'm sure we will all chip in for the divorce proceedings 😛

My good lady had the same impact in the 90's and early naughties - it was only after I banned her from watching a game or speaking about Manly that we turned things around - our marriage has been happy since..

Huge stat there for Ballin in defence. Shows he has been a rock for us all year. Croker is the surprise - leading point scorer and with 10 tries in a team that gets spanked is very impressive.

I've woken up on a new week and can't say how happy I am that we have finally put on a decent (if not huge) margin. Well done boys.
