Manly's understrength forward pack got the job done against the Cowboys in Townsville in Round 3 to help the team to their first win of the season but the return of aggressive props Marty Taupau and Addin Fonua-Blake – combined with some wonderful efforts from the likes of Daly Cherry-Evans and Tom Trbojevic – saw the side rack up a huge score against the Dogs.

 Keary also spoke of his budding combination with halves partner Mitchell Pearce – which has seen the two link up to devastating effect on both sides of the field – while labelling the rigid idea of one half on each side of the field as a "blight" on the game.
