AN unheralded new scrum base combination has emerged as the Manly Marlins’ “dynamic duo”, adding an extra dimension to the club’s Shute Shield campaign.         

Halfback Ruan Duplooy and No.10 Robbie McIntosh both impressed in the Marlins’ thrilling 31-28 win over Eastern Suburbs at Manly Oval last Saturday, playing instrumental roles in the victory.

McIntosh hails for North Harbour in New Zealand and spent last season at Gordon before heading over the Spit Bridge for 2023.
