Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3498496, member: 1899"] I only caught the last twenty or so, but I thought Manly were rewarded for their patience. It would have been easy for them to go full tilt, but they just kept probing the Storm line and playing for field position. They got the timing wrong on their set-plays, but they didn't give away the penalty or throw the desperation pass, they just played it smart knowing they had the four point lead. It eventually took it's toll on the Storm. The game was there when Olam turned the ball over deep in Manly's corner. That was the moment for the Storm defence to muscle up but the Sea Eagles really did a great job of working it out and DCE nailed the kick. Then in response, Paseka bounces off of Welch to put Croker into space. DCE gets to put an attacking kick up, Coates makes the mistake and Paseka once again puts the finishing touches in. I'd have to go back and watch the earlier 60 minutes because the scoreboard was definitely a factor, but it just seemed like Manly completely out-muscled Melbourne. The loss of Asofa-Solomona took it's toll and Manly did well to turn it into a slogfest. [/QUOTE]
