Manly needed someone to take charge in the second half when Snake was gone, but unfortunately, no-one did.
Wrong, the referees took control and penalised us into submission.
So you had no problem with us leading the penalty count 7-2 at one stage, which helped us get that big lead, but when it is reversed its the refs fault. Spoken like a true whinging Manly fan Ralphie. The Storm were without Cooper Cronk. They had Ben LOL Roberts and a Rookie in the halves. We have no excuses for not towelling them up after leading 20-0.
I do agree Manly are still a top 4 side. I'm not writing off the season, I'm just saying we should have won that game last night.
You don't see a correlation in the fact that 2 evenly matched sides played a game when 1 got out to a big lead on a run of penalties, and then the other did exactly the same on their run of penalties ?
Happens far too often these days around all the games
