I hate it when we lose...So much that it takes a day or two to get over the bad mood. But, let's not get too upset about that loss. Manly are a team chock full of rep stars.
They had a team of 9 internationals and the rest have representaed NSW, City or Contry. Our side that took the field was half our Shellharbour team and only 3 of the reps were backing up. Take out Scott, JSmith and Fien and you can see why it was alwys going to be extremely hard to beat Manly. Everyone goes on like last nights rep games renders the playrs backing up useless. This is utter crap as all the rep players on both sides were the best players tonight. Creagh, Young, Morris, Lyons, wattmough and co all played well. They are rep quality players and tonight proves that it is not such a bad thing to back up less than 24 hours after. $8 hours after changes things somewhat. If I was Manly, I wouldn't get too carried away with that win. I got sick of Daley
mentioning their 8 representatives again, without mentioning our 5 reps and ijured personell.
