That's a very tough period of footy we've just played
3 of the top 5 teams, a panthers team surging after 7 wins in a row, NZ away on a 5 day turn around and the Sharks in front of a sold out crowd farwelling Gallen
4-2 over that period, and the two loses were a game in which an 8 point try was scored from a player offside, and the errror was conceded by the Referee's boss and Simple Jack was an inch away from snatching a win against the roosters... no excuses for the losses, we fell short in those games but those were hard earned wins for Manly and the Roosters
Pretty strong acid test and we came through pretty well. This is not the raiders of old that would lie down and roll over. Any team coming agianst us in the finals will know they've got an 80 minute battle ahead of them
