It was all good.” Running into a stiff breeze, the Tigers were the better side but had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. The Tigers trailed 6-4 at the break but Kimmorley’s first halftime speech failed to provide the impetus for what would have been a memorable victory. It was not the start Kimmorley was after as he began a 12-week audition to prove he has what it takes to coach at this level. There was no malice in it and he was very sorry.

The grass has never been so green for ex-Tiger Josh Aloiai, who was told 18 months ago he would be mowing the lawns at Leichhardt and Campbelltown over a contract dispute. “He was a bit unlucky and he was very sorry. “It was probably one of our better wins this year,” Manly coach Des Hasler said.
