Ian Roberts:

"[Hasler] did the right thing in saying that they got a few things wrong. The ownership of that and how they would do things differently good given the opportunity again.

I think that was very brave and forthright."

#NRL "I have been lobbying the NRL for a number of years to have a Pride round. I guess when I heard that Manly were having this Pride round, it was incredibly exciting for me
because they are my old club."
