Manly would have been offside aswell, it's a free for all so it kinda evens itself out anyway.

No doubt, they were offside defending their set too, still its not a game willing play to be offside when the team is coming off their own line

the NRL need to address this issue, the officals are cowards in GP

Now Manly are gone, I'd expect the airing of their dirty laundry shortly

Look I think we can cop if they're half a metre offside but these guys were a good 5-6m offside, was almost as if we were playing rugby union with no 10m rule

Most of its already out there I just guess it will hit the papers now.

Can't wait for Watmough to f**k off.

lol nah Hutty all good. Could have gone either way. Proud of the boys.

So you should be. What a gutsy effort, your blokes have been the benchmark for professionalism and toughness for a decade. Very unlucky tonight, losing a semi in GP bloody hurts.

I got no time at all for manly, hate the merkins but that non call with the offside was much worse than what transpired last night

 

[Ghoulies]

Well I feel disappointed, so I guess that means I was going for Manly.

DCE and Foran were below par, but I'd say they were hindered a fair amount by the awful service from dummy half.

Manly were more robbed of a win than the cowboys, and we'll never hear a word about it

Suck a point

MOTM - Either James Graham or Aidan Tolman

James Graham - 19 hit ups, 156 meters, 31 tackles, 1 try assist, 1 line break assist,
Aidan Tolman - 26 hit ups , 211 meters, 46 tackles

In more positive news the Big Financial News & Creepy online stalker melodrama is set to continue on these boards.

I'm sure the Manly charge down on Reynolds was a result of players making absolutely certain they didn't go early...

 

[JT_]

Should make it golden nothing. 10 minutes extra time and then golden point.

I reckon just do golden try two 10 minute periods. If no try then go to GP.

 

[eagles4eva]

Awesome effort by the Eagles, congrats to the Doggies..

Now fix all the in fighting crap and lets players who want out go...

Exactly because it doesn't make a fascinating story. Ben Cumstain, he's got the guts to sin bin Matt Gillet for no reason at all but doesn't have the guts to penalise the most blatant offside I've ever seen

 

[slamminsam246]

Every single attempt at field goal (bar the bulldogs first) had someone offside. The rush on dce which forced stewarts crack was blatantly 5m offside. Disgusting.

Like I said I think we all accept half a metre either way in that situation, but the dogs inside chasers were a good 5-6m offside

its crazy, it's why this GP thing doesnt work.
Teams know referee's are cowards, they dont call it in GP, so it's open slather.

Just make it extra time and be done with it

Manky fans are Brooky merkins

 

[eagles4eva]

See how the Doggies pull up from this game, minus Jackson, I reckon the lads out Penrith way will win
