I feel like with all the hand wringing that’s gone on over the last two losses, we’ve all lost sight of the fact that we’ve witnessed two exceptional acts of bravery.
Firstly, Brad Parker playing for more than half a game with a broken jaw.
And then that poor little Manase coming on last night with his nose taped to the point where he couldn’t breathe and, not long after, having some thug drop his knees into his already broken nose ... and still going on to play brilliantly despite blood and mucous spurting out everywhere.
Well done you wonderful boys. That’s the Manly spirit!!
