Manly very nearly stuffed things up in the in goal and from memory Lam tried to claim a try but it was ruled that the ball had been forced by Manly and a line drop out followed. There was no video ref back then (just an in goal touch judge) and referee Paul McBlane decided to ignore the interference and just go with the line drop. It should have at the least been a penalty, 10m out right in front with Moore sent to the bin. We would have levelled the game and who knows what would have happened with Manly down to 12 men.....wouldn't have mattered anyway....Freddie was playing on one leg with a severe groin injury and we wouldn't have gone much further but was still very frustrating at the time.
That year we won our first 10 games straightTwo things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe
