If what happened today was as bad as the ABC commentators said and it happened in a grand final it would cause some serious damage to the game.

I was watching via live feed. Its bad. Extremely bad. I am more pissed off right now than I was after losing the 07 GF

 

[simmo1]

Can someone tell me what happened? What was the penalty for?

 

[Canard]

Well unless you were at the game, 99.9% of people haven't seen it, so its pretty hard to comment on.

apparently Orford dived for the ball and Campbell tripped over him

 

[simmo1]

apparently Orford dived for the ball and Campbell tripped over him

...and got penalised for tackling without the ball? Or tripping?

 

[Dutchy]

For tripping. Even though you see the same thing happen many times a game when people are attacking the ball from kicks in the in-goal etc.

 

[Chook Norris]

edit.

 

[adamkungl]

3 games decided by refereeing incompetence in 1 week. dogs game last week. and there were more earlier. f**king pathetic.

 

[clipser]

well while everyone is talking about the poor ref decision id like to point out that orford did not disapoint us with his efforts today... that being terrible 5th tackle options and kicks...

 

[Shorty]

I didn't think Orford tripped him but he certainly barged him out of the way without the ball...I dunno that's still not a penalty offence is it?

Not if you are both contesting the ball. That would not even be a free kick in soccer.

 

[Apey]

pretty harsh penalty but at the same time Manly knocked on about 3 times at the ruck in the last 15 minutes with none of them being called up :lol:

I'd be blowing up if it were my team though.

 

[innsaneink]

Suck sh*t manly....suck it hard.

 

[TheBourbonBeast]

So good to see manly cry....

 

[Tommax25]

Gus said it was a harsh call. He's close, it was a wrong call thathas cost manly the game, on the back of about 5 in the past week or so. Something has to be done otherwise this comp will be decided by tony archer and co

 

[renouf]

Orford knew what he was doing.. fair penalty IMO.

False. Shoulder to shoulder contest orford got to the ball first and campbell fell over him. He did drop it so it would have been titans feed in the scrum which they may have got a field-goal/scored a try from who knows instead of a match-stealing penalty.

 

[The BigFella]

Amazingly the brisbane and parra fans are happy with that decision, and everyone else see's it for the disgrace that it was!
Who did manly best over the last 2 weeks?

 

[Coaster]

Correct call !!!!


About time they got a decision right.

Hope thats the 2 points that you need to miss the 8.

Karma is a b*tch

Bahaha thats better than winning by 20.
