News gets worse for Manly with Watmough limping off

How bad does it look?

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Melbourne have clocked off

 

[Eelectrica]

WTF is going on? I was for sure we would get done by more than 40.

Storm resting some key players and Finch is running the show.
'Nuff said really

How bad does it look?

It didn't look good. He had ice on his knee and head in his hands.

And Slater gets his hat trick. One of the easiest hat tricks he'll ever get.

I'd say the heads in the hands, have more to do with the loss.

 

[user_nat]

Slater.. 4..

 

[MSH]

Slater is in for 4!
Try - Melbourne.
Storm 38-12, 77th minute.

How bad does it look?

Not sure has an ice pack on the top of the knee.

Looks like storm in again with Slater

 

[wittyfan]

Perhaps the head in hands was due to embarrassement?

 

[shear_joy9]

hahaha

slater just pulled another 4 manly players pants down

 

[Scaven]

Obstruction

I'd say the heads in the hands, have more to do with the loss.

Originally I thought that but he was pressing on his knee at the time. So I think the knee wasn't helping the situation.

ETA: It's a bad cork above the knee, no structural damage.

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Jesus somebody take Slater out of the game. He looks like his is on fire for the finals

 

[MSH]

Goal - Melbourne.
Storm 40-12, 78th minute.

nevermind

Isn't it ridiculous that next week both teams could have exactly the same challenge as each other to win the comp.

yep, fair call.

 

[Eelectrica]

Almost the ultimate embarressment for Manly with Turner almost scoring.

Manly sweating on results obviously, but be interesting to see how the injuries situation ends up shaping up.

 

[Scaven]

Wouldn't it be funny if both teams have to play next week and Manly win and Melbourne lose.
Kinda makes this game redundant.

 

[cupid]

Don't Melbourne get another home final though?
