I have proof it was a try – it was in the papers next day.
Plus it's another good omen. In 1978, during Manly's most gutsy finals campaign so far, there was a furore over a so-called 7 tackle try in a semi on our way to the grand final. People still mention it to this very day (well I just did anyway!). But it was immaterial to the result, exactly as the current decisions were.
Which augers well for our team to join the all-time greats. Starting with a win over Storm, in 4 days from now.
