Shane Hayne and Manly have kept a clean sheet again after last nights match against the Panthers.
It was not just Stewart deliberately knocking the ball forward that he chose to ignore it was some other crucial decisions.
Hayne had another immediate impact on the game when he called back a Panthers movement leading to a try in which he and only he saw a forward pass..the result was possession to Manly, another couple of quick penalties to Manly and they are in for try and the score goes to 12-0.
Manly have had Hayne at least 6 times this season and have not lost a penalty count and have been the benificiaries of a number of 5th tackle penalties which gives almost unstoppable momentum to a team.
As the semis approach the other coaches will point this out to the referees panel and ensure another ref is given to Manly matches so as possession can at least be squared.
