Clearly forward.

Sharks defo the better side, but fmd I haven't seen a worse video ref decision than that Manly no try. Classic Greg Bird dive.

Both were tries imo. Accidental shot on Bird .. who missed the ball and was falling and clearly got polaxed.

It was a penalty He was taken high accident or not its a penalty.. They get pulled up all the time especially this season...

 

[Jono078]

Anyone got a gif of the Perry hit on Ross?

That was monsterous!

Shame he didnt do that while playing for us..

How did he go in general anyway?

 

[Big Pete]

What a scrappy affair however if I was a Sharks fan I would be extremely satisfied with that victory. A win at Brookie tends to come rare for most sides, so congratulations.

While Manly, what the hell has happened? B. Stewart, J. Lyon and M. Ballin were kept silent and there was next to no creativity. Besides Watmough there wasn't too much to like. Lets hope for you're side it was only early season jitters.

 

[eels_fan_01]

Fair game.

I thought the Sharks played pretty well and were the better side for the majority of the match .

What run at other players with his head? Well i guess it would have got some use...

He was the best prop on the field for manly.

Once Ross went off Dougy stood up like the champion he is. (for us)

That was no worse than crokers hit on stewart in the GF, yet that was fine....... as I said earlier, sharks deserved to win, manly rudderless in attack.

Your getting confused with gallen f**khead, when did bird dive?

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Congratz to the Sharks, gutsy win

tbh, i thought both teams were awful, but the sharks were the best of the bad sides and played the better footy

 

[gong_eagle]

Good Gutsy win for you Sharks
Manly's so called attack is woeful
Lyon to centre in place of Bell (who is sadly not the player he was) and try Le Strange at 5/8

 

[lotti]

Bell just needs a good partner and Lyon's it.

So the Sharks make 50 more tackles, and Manly have ten more sets of six than the Sharks. How did the Sharks have more possession than Manly?​

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

a classic encounter by 2 champion sides, well 1 definetly, manly are yet to prove themself thsi year.

the sharks have shown the force they are and that we arent just genuine top 8 contenders but premiership contenders already.

unlucky manly, you tried hard but probably didnt have the fluency and talent the sharks had.

Against the Warriors last year f**kstain.

 

[RainMan]

Perry lifted his elbow so he'll probably get cited.

f**k off and die somewhere lotti.

 

[Dutchy]

400k a year for sum1 who gets knocked out in rd 1 by a spongecake

Don't know about that, good forwards game, tough and close.. everyone drops the pill and makes stupid errors this time of year.

Manly just needs some more options, Lyon doesn't seem to have much to do with the ball.

In 10 weeks time we'll know whos looking good.

Turns out it was 49-51 not 47-53 but at the end of it all, Sharks still dominated possession slightly.
