NRLManlyRoosters Match Report 📝

In March this Manly outfit was tipped for the wooden spoon as an 0-4 start piled pressure on players and Des Hasler alike.

They have now pinched the biggest finals turnaround record from the Rabbitohs of 1951 – who turned a 35-8 semi-final loss to St George around with a 42-14 grand final triumph and 55-point swing. The Sea Eagles were the vanquished that day 70 years ago with Clive Churchill at the helm for the Rabbitohs.So much so that after two tries, three line breaks, 10 tackle busts and 196 running metres, Hasler put him on ice for the final 15 minutes.Happily for Hasler, captain Daly Cherry-Evans matched him for influence against the Roosters in Mackay, the pair thick as thieves as Manly rattled up an 18-0 advantage in as many minutes.

Roosters were never going to win it. The Titans deserved the right to play a semi rather than them? Might have made for a better game!
