Well done Manly. Don't give a shit about this "tainted" premiership BS. A premiership is a premiership.
Having said that it's a massive shame that so many "what have been" moments have to do with inept refereeing rather than the players.
On the plus side the Warriors are a team on the rise, where as I believe Manly have reached their peek and are on the way down. Johnson, Locke, Taylor, Packer, Matulino - these guys will be better for that experience and will come back stronger.
lulwut? Two great young halves, great fullback in his prime, great lock in his prime, good hooker, great centres, amazing coach. We may not reach these heights again but I think we will 100% be in the top 4.
