Can some of the Manly supporters that are still bitching about the result please read this a few times over.
You lost, but you will still have two bites of the cherry in the semis. What are you worried about?
We are still on the tightrope in terms of even being there, and thus played accordingly last night.
Yes, theyve had a pretty good season and for the best part, maximised their playing assetts.
Well drilled and well coached.
Well managed in private hands.
I agree that it was pretty much the loss "they had to have."
Des has been talking about resting a few of the big lads now, building up their reserves for a massive assault in the finals campaign.
As a complete squad, with their solid few years of building behind them, I actually prefer them over Melbourne.
