Critics blaming sinu controversy for Manly's loss, defense issues and sluggishness evident.
It's a bit rich for anyone to start blaming Manly's embarrassing loss to Melbourne on the Daly Cherry-Evans contract controversy.
But if we are fair dinkum no one looked slower or more lethargic than the veteran forward who got left for dead in defence for the first two tries.
Especially when we all saw the concerning defensive lapses from Jake Trbojevic in the
48-24 belting at Brookie.
Yes, the Sea Eagles looked slow and lethargic against the competition favourites.
