To clarify, Pritchard is challenging the charge. And so he bloody well should. Embarrassing he was penalised, let alone reported and charged.

See Tim, I disagree. It wasn't a reckless swinging/stiff arm to the head of an opposing player, but the fact remains he hit him with the point of his shoulder and it made contact with his head. The reason he was penalised and placed on report is simple - he made contact with Graham's head. I'm not too sure how many weeks a grade three careless charge is, but he deserves at least one to two weeks IMO.

Haha, shoulder direct to head. Penalty all day.

You are the most unbelievably biased poster.

I didn't think you could top arguing that Hodkinson shoulder-charging Steve Michaels on the ground was accidental earlier this year.

But you have.

Being a taller player does not give you the right to belt another player in the face.

I think Frank's played his token 2 decent games a year now anyhow.

How is it any different to Dwyer on JWH?

It was an illegal tackle that lead Graham to be bleeding from the head, what is he going to say when he challenges it?

 

[blake2101]

Manly to win by 8...wouldnt surprise me at all to see them clock off midway through the 2nd half.

Why? Theyve actually performed very well in the second halves this season. One of the best scoring teams in the final 40 mins, if not the best!

they are going for a downgrade

who will seek a downgrade that will allow him to play against Manly at Brookvale on Sunday.

[[FKN-SIK]]

And how does that statement remotely make sense? Pritchard is useless yet your club is paying him 400k+ :crazy:

Gaz is going good guns lolz

 

[[FKN-SIK]]

Hmm.. what's a good reason.. I know! 32-8 :lol:

Unlucky TT, better luck next decade?

Beats 3 decades

 

[Hutty1986]

Beats 3 decades

:lol: How about 10 months? Franky's still a lazy waste of talent

 

[Timmah]

Oh look, Frank got his charge downgraded.

Yep, I'm just biased...

 

[zombie jesus]

Manly by 20.

 

[lomz1]

Go da doggiez....kefe!

 

[Cletus]

Manly by 50. Unless it rains, which it won't.

 

[Daddycool]

The Dogs are in good form and Manly's has been up & down..... so a Dogs win wouldn't surprise (too much!).

Manly have a tendency to match the intensity of their opposition which can be frustrating when they come up against the teams at the bottom of the ladder. However with so much riding on the outcome for both teams, it should be a really good game.

Hodkinson and Prichard will be the keys for the Dogs, if they can get going they'll provide the opportunity for Barba to cut loose. By the same token if Manly can complete their sets and control those three, they'll create plenty of pressure on the Dogs and that should by enough to win.

The Brooky surface is better now than it was in years past. I was walking around after the Roosters game and the grass coverage was more even meaning the drainage is better. Looking forward to a good open game and a Manly win.

 

[kia ora storm]

I am changing my tip to the Dogs...Dogs by 6.

 

[ceagle]

We cannot afford to come out and play like we did last week against Parra, the Dogs are going to come out all guns blazing, and if we cannot atleast match the intensity the dogs will get us in this one.
