KiwiTig said:Agree, not the reason we lost though. Thought the refs had an average game. From my view (I was sitting high up on half way) Manly we offside a lot, other around me were also commenting and there were a lot of neutrals. The shepherd could have been called prior to the second try. One thing I didn't like was Toovey playing "quarterback" for them, standing behind the line calling tactics. He would have been on for most of the first quarter.
Enjoyed the game though, Manly were the team on the day. Ball security was the issue. Proud of the team though they kept trying and had a crack. Looking good for 2012, especially with another Toyota Cup win.

To put this in perspective for Southerners - this is to indigineous people in the northern states, Queensland & Rugby League as a whole what E.J.'s passing was to Australian Football and Victorians tenfold.
Spot on Craig.craig said:Be sorely missed in Queensland and NSW, a true great of the game, and a champion of the underdog and tireless charity worker and figure to aboriginal youth.
RIP Artie Beetson.
