Manly didn't score a try more than 5 metres out. Outmuscled and out enthused .
Size matters in the heat and we dont have players that generate metres from the collision.
Starting your best 2 defenders on the bench didn't work. Alvaro, Tepai and Will Smith were our best performers. Moses at least was enthusiastic which is a whole lot more than some of them.
Auv'a drop on the first at 12-0 was crucial
Think we will be better when there is more movement as the temp cools, but today was a major step back, if BA doesn't acknowledge that in the presser then we are in for a long season.
