I agree with that, but I thought there were good signs. sure, Cherry-evans has to step up, we also didn't have one of the best centres in the game, and arguably the best hooker after Cam Smith... TT made his usual errors, but he tried his guts out, as did Brown, he did ok distributing considering his lack of any gametime this year, Thompson has earned his jersey, Kelly had his moments of brilliance, when he bust through the first line of defence, he was driven! AFB and all the forwards had a crack. They exposed Uate's wing, and got the chocolates. But, Api back next week, good to see Jorge get through the game, and some big forwards coming back.
I say all is not lost. I still think the top 8 is a chance, our for and against has improved over the last 4 games. We are blessed, as our side is so young and full of talent. There are some good times ahead for Manly.
