Mcmanus pulled of two absolutely identically brilliant tackles on O'dwyer, first one was in the first half when Titans spread it wide, and that one at the end of the game... WOW!
If we kept count of all the times since the beginning of last season he has diffused a dangerous situation and prevented a potential try it would have to be close to one every game or two IMO.
I personally would keep Mcmanus in the team just for his defence and his dummy half metres. We haven't had a winger who can defend this well for years. Sure he hasn't been scoring many tries this year but as a winger there is only so much you can do when you aren't getting the ball. And we all know that he can finish really well.
Anyway, Hilder was brilliant. What a buy! Cross was an enforcer...
And what can I say about Vuna? Wow that guy is strong, did anyone see how many times he just threw the first tackler to the ground, haha he did it about 4 times in one run in the first half. But seriously that was his best game this year by FAR! If he keeps that up he will be one of our best performers by the end of the year and maybe even knocking on the door of the NZ test team...
Great comeback from Mullen as well, a bit rusty but overall was able to provide a few really crucial plays
There is going to be a lot of debate when Dureau comes back as to who the halves are IMO, Bailey looked really dangerous tonight, that chip/regather really highlighted his class, seriously if we lose this guy to another club I will be pissed. Please Mr. Smith just find a spot for him each week and let him do his thing!

I think Scott was upset as he was made Jarrod's B*tch as some of the banners are suggesting lol
