Match Notes
Roy Haggerty (Great Britain) came on for Paul Medley who was injured in the first half. Lee Crooks (Great Britain) came on in the second half with Phil Ford leaving the field. Ian Wilkinson shifted to fullback and immediately failed to clear an attacking kick by Des Hasler, resulting in Manly's 4th try. Crooks' injection into the game brought some much needed aggression to Great Britain's forward pack, to which Manly responded, ultimately leading to the sin bins of Mark Brokenshire (Manly) and Roy Haggerty (Great Britain) in separate incidents. Paul Shaw (Manly) came on for Geoff Toovey late in the second half. Glenn Ryan (Manly) replaced Mark Brokenshire inside the last 10 minutes.
