LoL at all the haters.
Manly were the better team last night full stop.
DCE's kicking game won it for them.

ROFL at Cowboys fans thinking they'd have won last night.

Sharks did well considering they were missing Carney. I'd be hammering (John Morris?) for that stupid tackle on the marker for Gallen's try. Such poor discipline and felt sorry for Gal. Taufua try was a knock-on, Manly got lucky there. That's two years now where a knock-on try has won them a finals game. I'm assuming Tooves doesn't feel it warrants an investigation however? Anyway rest up Sea Eagles see you next week for another cracking game :)

Sharks gave it their all as expected from a great physical team. Could of gone either way DCE's kicking game was the only thing literally stopping us from being dominated in field position. I reckon Sharks just need one more world class player in their backline, a gun center would do them wonders.

tbh I thought the Sharks were the better side last week and this week, and they had more shit calls tonight than the Cowboys did- yet all the whinging will be about the Cowboys losing and not the Sharks.

Not really that fussed though, gets rid of the peptide taint and the best 4 sides overall will probably be the final 4
Well obviously not, because that would be hypocritical?

That wasn't a try, he bloody dropped it...more than anything else the standard of refereeing really annoys me, it's so inconsistent.

Don't worry about Gal, he is used to playing for sky blue teams that lose to teams dressed in maroon. It's why he looked so composed straight after the game

DCE was the difference last night.
Bloody great game though.

You blokes were gone in the last 20 mins,
We didn't have the quality in our kicking game to take the win.

Cowboys could have finished top 4 and had a week away from elimination. Instead they played crap for the bulk of the season and scrapped into the finals.

Considering they haven't beaten Manly in their last 5 starts, what possible justification do you have for this outrageous claim this time? It is always with the 'could have' theory with you, isn't it... One thing I am sure of, there is no way the Cowboys could defend the way Manly have the last 2 weeks.

I'm still waiting on you to show up in the Manly forum after death riding us all season.
sorry, but its hardly ever the 'could have' theory with me. i have the nuts to talk it up before the game, but you manly softies always have your say after the event. i'll be back at your forum after the bunnies show you what having depth in your top 25 is all about. just failing by 1 week to make the gf, you poor things.

That f**kwit's isaiah's post and the responses were almost worth a Manly win...

first time in decades i'd cheered when manly won, sharks got what they deserved and just in the way they deserved. especially gordon using a shoulder charge to deny a try and getting away with it. gold.

Oh they will show us... So the goal posts change again. First it was we only had 15 first grade players, then we wouldn't make eight, the top 4, win a final... Come back to me when the Cows can actually win a premiership. geez, you don't even have a coach... Everything you claim will happen never has. Even if we do miss the Grand Final it still shows we have more depth and quality than most other sides in the comp. And crap all over the Cowboys.

There's stupid, there's really stupid, and then there's isaiah. I never thought anyone could make BM's Mensa claims look legit, but there you go, it has happened.

Isaiah will be back the moment we lose.

It could be next week, it could be the GF, it could be the WCC...for all he cares it could be round 12 2015...he'd come on here and tell us all he told us so...

He's a f**king gimp. His 15 man team claim has been completely rubbished. We've been short two props most of the year and got by...Look at the absolute gem of a backup fullback we've unearthed FFS...Our depth is probably the best it's been since SL.

Just some simple mathmatics for you.

The Taufua try wasn't converted. 24-4 = 20. 20>18. Ergo, Manly still win.

Last year, take away the Foran try. 22-6 = 16. 16>12. Ergo, Manly still win.

So, no, neither year have they "won" due to knock ons. The winning margin has just been increased.
