This is the third year in a row that in round one this team is already behind the eight ball and basically stuffed.
So many injuries to key players already, and the game last night was awful to watch. Once again, when the game was in the balance the referees stepped in and ruined any chance of Manly getting any rhythm.
Sadly, this is exactly what the NRL want. I can see already we will be playing Saturday nights all year while the NRL promote teams like the Roosters, Bunnies, St George, Canterbury and Parramatta who offer vastly more memberships and involvement with the big money stadiums.
It's a sad reality, and if it's not another 10 year cycle, it may be never that we see Manly in a grand final while the NRL wait for us to die.
