2011 GF | PREMIERS - Sea Eagles 24-10 Warriors @ ANZ

[Pete Cash]

I enjoyed that. What did you guys want really. Yeah the refs were harsh on the Warriors but it was great. Manly well deserved imo.

They are giving Des a chance to whinge about the NRL. DO NOT DO THAT NINE.

Warriors got one back with the Manly no-try. We've seen many, many more dubious put-downs awarded.

This is the death of rugby league. Disgusting performances from Cecchin and Archer have gifted Manly the most undeserved premiership in history.

Fugg i would like to meet you in person you bitter twisted twat.

Do you think Brett Stewart will be petulant and not shake Gallops hand on stage?

 

[Dr Crane]

Honestly what a load of bullshit. Manly were the best team all year.

well, melbourne finished above them....but they weren't there today so it's still a deserved premiership.

not going to blame referee incompetence for the warriors not firing a shot for 66 minutes.

 

[Wilson1]

The refereeing was fair.The Warriors did not turn up to play. A few calls did not go the Warriors away but they did not have a direct effect on the result. The best team all season still won the competition.

 

[Masoe_eats_babies]

Warriors got f**ked with the refereeing but Manly played better for most the game. Warriors left it too late.

 

[Goddy]

This could very well be the death of Rugby League in New Zealand.

 

[Molly]

As the Melbourne telecast ends immediately after full time.....the best team won regardless, well done Manly. Cherry Evans for Clive

 

[woodyk2]

Manly had more than 13 players on the field before the full time whistle. There is only on option for that: they must be stripped of their premiership for such a blatant breach of the rules.

Sook...clutch those straws you sad fuggin merkin.

 

[Woodlaz]

Why watch this NRL??? May as well call it RRL - Referee Rugby League

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Well done Manly. Don't give a shit about this "tainted" premiership BS. A premiership is a premiership.

Having said that it's a massive shame that so many "what have been" moments have to do with inept refereeing rather than the players.

On the plus side the Warriors are a team on the rise, where as I believe Manly have reached their peek and are on the way down. Johnson, Locke, Taylor, Packer, Matulino - these guys will be better for that experience and will come back stronger.

 

[Glen]

As much as I hate Manly, I think we all need to sit back and enjoy the fact that the Cheats did not figure in this year's Grand Final. It could have been worse.

Do you think Brett Stewart will be petulant and not shake Gallops hand on stage?

I wouldnt shake a r$@#% hand if i was david

 

[squeeze]

wtf channel nien cut the feed in victoria to go to the news at 7.15 just as des finished talking... WTF who won the cc medal and did brett give it to gallop?

 

[MatthewA]

Well done Manly.

If not for George Rose, Steve Matai, Anthony Watmough, the Stewart brothers, Darcy Lussick and Matt Ballin I would actually be kind of happy that the trophy stayed in Australia.

 

[skeepe]

Fugg i would like to meet you in person you bitter twisted twat.

Why? What would you do hero?

[ceagle]

SUCK IT HATERS!!!

2011 Premiers!!

Good game Warriors

f**k yeah.

 

[pantherz9103]

Manly were good all season and were always well placed to win another comp but the victory is still tainted with some terrible refereeing in the 1st half that allowed them a big leg up. Having said that the Warriors were too conservative until late in the game and Krisnan Inu has hands like feet...
