Glenn Stewart taken off, wow.

was it for the dislocated finger?

 

[Spanner in the works]

BOTD exists to make a decision where we can't conclusively make one based on the video.

If the video doesn't exist, in most situations like this I would say the try would be given (although it depends on the situation).

However lets look at this example - the touchie didnt put his flag up. We couldn't tell if his foot nicked a blade of white grass. If we disallow the try it would be against the spirit of the game. You can't disallow a try because there might have been something wrong but you can't tell. That would be ridiculous.

This is my point. If we can't conclusively make one, why should one team benefit on the all-important scoreboard?

Williams knocked on there. Manly getting all the calls.

was it for the dislocated finger?

Didn't see it just saw the screen show he was subbed, that would explain it.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Shoulders in!

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Getting ugly

 

[adamkungl]

This could get ugly

 

[Von]

Too easy Matai

 

[undertaker]

wow, the Sea Eagles are really running riot over the Warriors. 14-0, kick to come. All those Warriors fans boasting about McClennan's 2005 tri-series heroics...he could be in for a long year at NRL level. Despite all the drama that's happened over the last few months, Sea Eagles still look like a top 4 side

game over warriors

 

[skeepe]

Try to Tony Archer for Manly.

 

[aussies1st]

My God Manly look good.

 

[user_nat]

Pretty sure Manly are the first team to play with any depth this weekend.

 

[BunniesMan]

I reckon Manly could put 40 on them here. The Warriors are playing like every other round 1 team. Manly looks like they've had a great preseason and are starting in 5th gear.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Argh, stupid kiwis :x

 

[CliffyIsGod]

This is my point. If we can't conclusively make one, why should one team benefit on the all-important scoreboard?

Both teams benefit equally from BOTD to the attacking team.

 

[aqua_duck]

Why do the warriors persist in playing backrowers in the centres?

 

[ceagle]

Warriors centers have been torn to shreds

 

[Cletus]

Judas Hasler? You do realise he got your club out of the dumps when you guys were in dire straits? Not to mention delivering you 2 premierships in the last 4 yrs?

Thanks for the memories traitor

Warriors a little unlucky with the knock on call but they look like they're in for a hiding here.

 

[Von]

Should have been 10-6, not 16-0, if Manu caught that ball. Such a mistake is inexcusable in first grade.
