That was premiership defense put on show by a team that is ready to challenge for the premiership.
Manly threw their best at us. They kept coming and coming. But their top gear, their 5th gear was not good enough to crack us. In crunch time we had an extra gear, the 6th gear, what I like to call the championship gear. Their best couldn't crack us, our best cracked them.
Now there will be the usual sooking from the losers about the refs or whatever else they whinge out about.
But it was very plain to see. Us at our best is better than them at their best.
