If luck went the other way a bit (Crapley doesn't knock the ball out of Reed's hands, and Manly don't subsequently score a try), the score could have been even. The players need to know that, because 12+ points is definitely possible. Reckon Wallace needs to kick to Reed and Yow Yeh as much as possible.
You're completely right, one try assist means everything. Macca has been poor though. Look much better with hunt on so far.
