so that's two disallowed tries. One was dubious the other was certain. How was that forward?:o:roll:

yeah thats okay moron when they said he could not train at the start of the week but that he would probably be right by the weekend and country said that in that case they would not select him that is the biggest miracle i have ever seen


So you are claiming Cooper was ready and willing to play for Country, but they knocked him back??

:lol:

Never went backwards. Running sideways, threw it on the 10m line, caught 7m out.

That doesn't constitute a forward pass, its more related to how it leaves the hands of the passer.

If they are going to call that one up, than its going to be low scoring year.

Pass was never forward out of the hands, most passes on the run float further forward than that, was an awful call that we can be lucky has had no impact on the result. Touch judges need a training course on calling this sh*t.

Cooper has had calf problems numerous times before this week and has not trained all week but played for the Dragons on the weekend. This is nothing new to Dragons fans.

Country would not allow this for obvious reasons, so he wasn't picked.

Pretty simple really.

Why then, may I ask, were the Country selectors so disgusted when Cooper was named for the dragons and calling for him to be banned from playing for NSW??

Surely if they'd been told by Cooper that he would probably be fit by the weekend they wouldn't have been so shocked and angry?

Good outing by Manly, my premiership favourites until the Dragons or Titans side show they can turn up in September.

Great effort from Manly. Both sides off their games offensively, Manly put more effort in to the basics, line speed, kick chase, intensity in defence, Dragons couldn't match it. Glad they played for 80 for the first time this season.

You believe everything you read in the Telegraph obviously.

Manly the better side but if that is the best that they have i am confident we can beat them with our full side available

Smith Weyman, Scott, Nightingale makes a big difference to our defensive line

manly been playing like that for the first 9 rounds , dont think they have another gear , they try to get in front and hope thier defense hold.

The final rounds before will test them
