The fallout from Storm vs Manly (Spoilers)

[I Bleed Maroon]

Oh man, that has to be the most drama in a single game in a very long time.

Curtis Scott brought the send off back from the dead with a punch on Dylan Walker, then both Walker and Api Korisau go to the bin for punches....Then come back 8 and 1/2 minutes later. The Storm's Football Manager prompty blows up at the NRL timekeepers who stuffed up, and despite winning the game Manly now face the prospect of being docked two valuable points for an NRL official's error.

Wowee, this one is gonna make Monday an amazing thing to witness. Surely the NRL throw Manly a bone for their f**k up and fire the timekeeper responsible but bugger me if Manly losing points isn't the better outcome for the neutral supporter looking for some lols

Why should Manly lose the points though?

The NRL f**ked up, not Manly.

 

[Perth Red]

Best bit of biff in years, seeing walkers smashed face was worth losing the game lol

Bellamy interview is going to be funny.

 

[ek999]

Curtis Scott won the battle but Melbourne lost the war

 

[Spanner in the works]

It'll be the usual stuff. Refs boss, Greenberg will say they stuffed up and then zip. Zero accountability.

Always pondered whether as fans we should force the refs - or at least the refs boss - to front up to the press to explain decisions.

This wasn't a refs f**k up though. Was an NRL official.

 

[This Year?]

It certainly made one of the worst game of the season entertaining. It was just one of those nights..

It started with a refs f**k up.
Koroisau should have been sent off and Walker shouldn't have been binned at all.

 

[Diesel]

Since Greenberg says he’s accountable and the buck stops with him, the only outcome should be he’s sacked over this

 

[Spanner in the works]

I don't think Manly should lose points, unless the Manly timekeeper kept quiet with their own times, but maybe Melbourne gets a point?

 

[Tenacious Titans]

Only just saw Scott land one on Dylan 'mr tough guy' Walker, so, so satisfying.

Then Greenberg this time.

 

[Leber]

Manly wont lose points. They would have still won and it wasn't their fault.

Melbourne should be compensated.

But personally, I think the fairest thing would be to kick them both out of the comp.

 

[skeepe]

Last time there was a timekeeper f**k up, I’m thinking Souths vs Tigers playing one full 10 minute period of golden point instead of 2 x 5 minute periods in 2004, the NRL simply said “we were wrong, our bad” and left it at that.

Probably exactly what will happen here.

 

[Tiger5150]

I expect Greenberg to "bravely" face the media with a very serious face and some sternly spoken earnest words "something something not good enough" "something something I set high standards"

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

LOL Vossy reckons the Melbourne CEO was on the phone to Greenburg while the game was still going

[blaza88z]

You guys know already that Bellamy won't fire up at all, everything that happened tonight was deserved

The NRL made an error with the time but that wouldn't have changed the result

 

[Life's Good]

I expect Greenberg to "bravely" face the media with a very serious face and some sternly spoken earnest words "something something not good enough" "something something I set high standards"

And if he eyeballs the camera all will be ok.

This is Mr Apology, Peter Beattie's, time to shine.
