He must have something special. When he scored every player was in his face congratulating.
It was weird everyone so happy for him.

Why is that weird?
Bloke scored on debut for our club, and the boys got around him.
I’d be more concerned if they didn’t.

It was over the top. It was the best celebration of a try all year.
Not weird
Not weird at all he is a team mate scores on his first grade debut for Manly shows players are happy for there team mate
Disagree mate. The Raiders did the same thing on their last try when their young guy crossed for the first time. I’m perplexed by your reaction to this to be honest.

Well after three straight losses, maybe you could cut them some slack?

I’m not having a go. I loved the passion.
Just saying he might be popular with the boys.
I think my first post may have come across the wrong way.
Played well, also thought young Fainu did well also!
Fainu was very strong. Condon did okay but looked gassed at times and he has slow lateral movement in defence: He has potential. I have him behind Fainu at present.

Plus the siren had sounded while he was scoring, so it was also a celebration for the win

Condon up the middle!
And far fewer were actually local juniors. Mauro is perfect for Ben's jersey presentation, an example of hard work paying off.
Speaking of Ben - what an idiot is Warren Smith on Fox, he reckoned Ben scored with his first touch for Manly. Smith was calling the game but hadn't even noticed his first stint, lol.
Condon was gassed quite quickly because he threw himself into everything, exactly the enthusiasm needed from a young debutant on the bench. With Burbo hurt he can expect a few more, no reason he won't keep improving. Well done!
Yeah, it was an ordinary miss for the try but I noticed a few tackles earlier he was gassed. 1st grade is a hell of a lot faster than Reggies as we know (well, I don't know, I read it somewhere) and so to come back and have enough energy to back up to score the try at the end ........... good on him. I still think he needs to fill out a bit more though.

Maybe it was a gender reveal and he surprised his teammates after they came over to celebrate. lol.
It's all good fun.

Always good to have another Qlder join the 1st grade ranks.

Do you go around popping balloons at parties by any chance?
