He touched it once and it traveled back and smacked him in the face. Not a knock on.

Yes but it hit the Tiger before it hit his head, knocking the ball into an opposing player is an automatic knock on isn't it? So it should be a knock on both way, Tigers ball.

He was moving forward the whole time. That's a knock on.

He was moving forward but the ball left his hand backwards. If you hold your hand out in front of you and throw something at your face, it is moving backwards. That was also the only time he touched it.

I have a problem with the notion that if it touched his hand and went back into his head it is play on. If, in general play, a player takes a hit up and upon catching the ball it hits his hand, bounces into his chest and then hits the ground forward off his chest, the ref will always call a knock on. Always.

Except if you're moving forward. You can chuck a ball 20 metres forward and chase it and headbutt but it doesn't mean the ball went back. At best it went straight down into an opposition player which is still a knock on.

Warriors need to get the big boppers back on. They're not going to hold the Tigers pack with Townsend, Leuluai, Johnson, and Friend all in the defensive line.

Nah, it's basically a miniscule pass, off his hands backwards into the tiger. If it was bigger it is like passing into a defending player. Same principle, but touching a defender doesn't make it dead. Six again if anything.

He also got a hand to it after it came off his head. His hand brushed it and it hit the ground infront of him. So knocks on into opposing player, who knocks on into his head and Manu then touches it a second time before grounding it.

Atleast it looked like he got that second touch to me. Not that it matters after his first knock on. Worst try this season so far, and sadly it will be topped pretty quickly.

Have only tuned in for the last 10mins. These refs seem even more biased than the kiwi commentator. WTF

You must be nervous saying that with your game coming up later. After last week the Eels probably feel they're owed a little bit of luck.

The Kiwi commentator is Halligan- a Bulldogs fan. He's anti-Warriors.

Tune back out dickhead
