Jamal Fogarty's missed kicks in a narrow 13-12 loss to Canterbury raise questions about his big-game performance as he seeks improvement.
Jamal Fogarty knows his big-game composure will be freshly scrutinised but the Manly halfback is relishing the chance to prove he can be the ice-cold killer the Sea Eagles need when the game is on the line.
Fogarty described himself as "cranky" after missing two conversions and two field goal attempts in last Saturday's 13-12 loss to Canterbury.
No goalkicker is immune to an off night with the boot but Fogarty's failure to land a match-winning field goal will be the focus of further discussion as Manly's season approaches September.
Fogarty struggled to kill off close games during his time at Canberra, most notably in last year's heartbreaking finals loss to Brisbane.
