Yes it was. Or, at least, it could've been. He didn't go through Long, Long put his arm across the Catalans player (Carlaw, bizarrely on the wing, I think) just as Manu was making the hit. No blame can be apportioned for that. Manu regularly stays a couple of yards back from the first chaser so he can come forward and meet the kick-returner as they're slowing and bracing for the impact from the first man (Long, in this case). It was just unfortunate that Long had his arm across in exactly the wrong spot.

In fact he used to regularly move in and out of the position , was never a starter there but for sure he has!!

Sorry you're wrong. Most of his games for Oz he came off the bench and played 9. He occasionally moved to 13 or 6 but has never ever played 7!

I can't see how Berro would beat Lockyer/Thurston/Kimmorley etc. to play at 7!!
