I lost the plot at the TV numerous times during this game, but surprised myself by aiming a blast at a Warriors player, which is very rare for me.
Mannering must do all his captaincy work away from the camera, because I never see him doing any of the things Price would.
Why he wasn't there chatting to that piece of sh*t referee on NUMEROUS occasions, I have no idea. He doesn't have an air of authority about him and he need him to stand up and fight for us. No wonder guys like Maloney get frustrated and run their mouths. His stats certainly don't highlight him as a stand out second rower either. I'd pick Lewis Brown, Ta'ai, Luck over him every time on this season's form. Simon certasinly isn't BAD, he just isn't...
anyway...
3.Brown - incredible in the centres. Huge power game.
2.Ropati - backed up well and didn't choke against a MUCH tougher oposition. Love his work.
1.Luck - Made at least a million tackles, and not just flops.
Packer (managed over 100m and 39 tackles, always present) and Matulino should also be in there, along with most of the team. Lousi did well with a start, moving on from his errors last week.
I gotta say once more, f**k that referee. So SO So so SO angry at him. If we had lost that it would have been heartbreaking. Massive guts and composure in total adversity.
