Message: [QUOTE="1910, post: 3463936, member: 8272"] That Manly finals win doesn't get the credit it deserves- got flogged by Penrith the week before and Izzard destroyed Kevvie. Penrith exposed the Broncos that year and showed all the flaws- round 20 and the finals. They just weren't tough enough yet against the big boys. To come back and keep Manly try-less was exceptional. No Dowling and Shearer just before kickoff. Easily Alf's worst season probably until 99 and Wally going on. Backo played no football too. The defence that day to keep them to 6-4 for the last 20 minutes was great defence. The 11 wins in a row was great football, but then they finished the year with two losses and two wins and lost momentum then lost to Penrith again in the finals. It was a slow start to the year with seven points up to round eight and Wally injured, TC gone for the year. I remember the win at Newcastle, everyone out- TC, Jackson, Hancock and They won that game then 11 in a row. The reserve grade win and the emergence of Carne and Hauff and the Manly finals win were the highlights for me. [/QUOTE]
