Brisbane coach Kevin Walters labelled his team mentally and physically “soft” as he refused to blame the NRL’s head contact crackdown and two controversial sin bins for their thumping 50-6 loss to Manly at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.

A two-pointer had already been nailed from 40-plus metres out, a penalty and follow-up drop punt hooked one way, then sprayed the other. Reynolds had already had not one crack, but two.
