Dragons should've slaughtered this Broncos side with 8 players out and all the soft penalties going their way...

Do you forget 2003, Saints had 9 regular first grade players out and beat Brisbane (full strength) in Brisbane.

Are you really using excuses already, were not even 6 weeks in ?

Mate its pretty simple stuff, you can not run behind a player, its a shepard and has been ruled a penalty all season, bar a try for Manly that Finch came out and said the refs made a mistake.

The penalty was for obstruction (there is no such offence as a shepherd). In every scenario provided in the laws of the game you will find that for an obstruction penalty to be awarded a defending team player must first have been obstructed.

lol, I remember it all right.
Creagh scored after jumping up and grabbing a bomb and in the end it came down to Piggy kicking a penalty goal from some spastic distance to clinch it by one point.
