That DCE interview was interesting...

 

[The Elephant In The room]

They were a fair way offside on the FG that DCE did knock over too.

Just curious about what manly fans think of the decision to play Horo at hooker, I thought it was a mind boggling move

The purge will be nasty. Things always are at Manly though so nothing new there.

I can basically see Matai, Kingy and Lyon being about the only two legends of this side actually welcome back at the club after they retire.

Hodges really sparked up things when he came on however. I can see the idea behind it but unfortunately Horo wasn't really good enough to execute even basic hooker skills.

It'll be pretty juicy next year with Ballin and Hodges I think

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

Offside is offside. This is just another case of LU morons looking for a way to keep to the narrative of refs deciding games.

not his greatest, it didn't work tonight... Horo too slow from dummy half

Dumb. Would've started JLJ with Hodges on the bench.

Great effort by the boys.

If you go out go out kicking.

Now....go Panthers. Like their ticker and style of play. After that anyone but Souffs.

On Manly - seeya Watmough. Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out. Take any other f*cking sook with you. G Stewart has been destabalising the club all year so thanks but f*ck off too.

Just keep DCE and Foran at all costs. I'm not surprised DCE has been playing ordinary since the carry on from some "team mates" toward him. Head up DCE, the shit will be swept out.

Mate, in origin they let you get away with abit more in the ruck, during certain games like last night there's abit more leeway in terms of hitting kickers late but there's a big difference between hitting a kicker fractionally late and hitting a kicker 5 seconds after the fact, just like there's a big difference between being half a metre offside and 6m offside and just for the record I defended the refs vehemently last night

Yeh that's probably how I would've played it as well, or even maybe Tom Symonds, someone who's atleast played in the spine before

You should end yourself. You clearly have nothing to offer in life.

 

[Dutchy]

Hell even Iosefa over Horo.

Those rules need to be changed re the ball hitting a ref and 7 tabkes off a drop goal attempt.

Not taking away from the Dogs there. Those are the rules as they stand and fair play to them. But bugger me they are geniused rules.

Is there a better solution for the ref one though? Probably better to have it clear cut then something left up to interpretation.

I have to agree. Should be a change over. Up to the attacking team to ensure the ref isn't in the way when kicking the ball. But them's the rules at the moment.

As for the field goal, I think 7 tackles is fair as it works well in the game overall. Otherwise teams will start pretending to go for field goals to stop 7 tackle sets.
