Last Saturday night at 4 Pines Park, rugby league analyst Greg Alexander was astounded by the unfolding drama.
With just seven minutes left in the match, Manly was down 28-14 against Canberra, but that's when Tolu Koula made his presence felt.
The Sea Eagles centre showcased his talent by fending off Simi Sasagi to score a try, and shortly afterward, he brushed aside Ethan Strange and charged downfield, assisting Jamal Fogarty in crossing the try line.
Minutes later, Koula found himself on the right side of the field and nearly broke free to secure what could have been the winning try, thwarted only by a last-minute ankle-tap from Ethan Sanders.
