n’t have the biggest forward but they are tough,” Foran said.

“That’s something I know they pride themselves on coming up against this Roosters’ pack that everyone knows is so big and intimidating.

“Every time we play the Roosters it is just such a tough game, it just goes down to the wire every time,” Foran said.

With eight minutes to go Manly survived another close call when Roosters winger Daniel Tupou had a try disallowed with the ruling there had been obstruction in the lead-up to him crossing the line,

In the final minute Lyon booted a penalty goal to give his side their 8-0 victory.

“Tools (coach Geoff Toovey) does a great job instilling that toughness into us and we just want to play for one another every time we take the field,” Foran said.

Absolutely agree it was gutsy, and you could see that pride in our pack, as they really lifted from last week.

What I respect the most is NO-ONE ever beats us easily. You can't ask for much more than that.
 
Toovey is nicknamed "Tools" ?
