I am a manly supporter and unfortunately hoppa disgraceful hit has negated my ability to say anything about the game.
But the sharks lacked direction and go forward. THe big manly forward pack, tired out your boys and they lost all pateince and discipline. They used slow down tactics in the play the ball and it went against them, simpkins had to warn them a few times.
I wouldnt feel too bad, the sharks were just lacking in leadership, they needed someone like nutley or stevens to take the ball forward and drive the team.
Manly had that today and last week too. Not many teams would have easily have beat manly when they were firing like they were before "The Incedent".
It was a fregone conclusion once you lost Nutley and (I cant say his name it just hurts too much).....
If they can get back what they had in round 1 they will be a force, but they need to get people who can lead, if the other leaders are teken from the field
