What happened to Collins hasn't been on in the 2nd half.

Nat Butcher is an amazing player and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong

Nat may have been our best tonight, his runs and footwork in that first half really hurt Manly's defensive line....good shit Nat.

[Bahrain Rooster]

Nice job Nat!

Well Butcher made me eat all my words tonight. Great game from him. Wish we saw it more often. Can I change the player I want dropped from him to Billy Smith? (Just joking, don’t come at me). Great watch tonight, that first half from us was scintillating

Defensein the 2nd half was the most pleasing thing for me this game. Considering the amount of defensive work the boys had to do. Plus all the opportunities Ash Klown gave them from the 40min to the 70min, that was an amazing effort to only concede 2 trys all game. Esp as Manly's 1st try csme off the back of a questionable penalty

nat was a beast tonight and sst. i didnt think crichton was bad .

billy smith had a shocker but i think stick with him and hopefully a one off.

overall a great performance teddy, keary, sammy , rads, watson, sst , butch , tups all outstanding

Was a pleasure watching the intent in the boys tonight. Great ball handling and discipline paved the way to build that big first half lead.

Then great defence when the tide of possession turned around in the second half.

The forwards were all very good. Makes a difference. Fair credit to Nat Butch as others have said. Sam Walker outstanding. Toups is just perfection on that left wing, just gets better with age. Liked Fletch Bakers work tonight too. Collins still out of groove but cutting some slack off long term injury. Will keep improving, need him firing at the back end of the season.

Let's get ready for next week...

[Johnny73]
