Saw that. Good effort from Rusty and PHAC!

If only a genius at Storm had the foresight to think of doing something like that to promote our club. :crazy:


Buwahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha....

1. Manly WON that last round game against a weak Canberra outfit by a mile in 05 to grab a semi final berth.
2. Ben Cross knee'd Terry Hill in the back, then picked on someone else until Steve Matai beat the crap out of him, and pulled him into line. Ben Criss was then given 10 minutes in the sin bin, and Manly scored twice in the drubbing.

"One man wrecking crew".......Mate....you've made my day !!!

Cross had a killer game that day though. Made 165m with 4 offloads and 34 tackles. Easily the best Raider forward on the ground. Didn't touch BK though (199m, 3 offloads, 1 linebreak, 21 tackles). Kite killed it as well (177m off the bench, 1 linebreak, 14 tackles)

But his sin-binning did hurt Canberra. Like you say, we scored twice so when he came back on it was 18-0 and Canberra were f*cked. And he did get smashed by Matai. F*cking loved that.

Lol that was when Matai was still pretty small, Matai was about 5'9 vs Cross who was about 6'3.
Matai embarrassed him.

Cross is a legend, matai had nothing. End of.

 

[effnic]

Cross got smashed about 5 times in the manly v storm game very very soft for such a big guy, no wonder Matai owns him.
