Manly were absolutely dudded with the Walker "offside" and the Peachey knock on.

There's no way of getting around this.

The sad thing is that we knew the bunker would decide a finals match because of how poor they've been. And they have...

Absolutely ridiculous that the bunker can rule on offsides like that, but can't rule on a forward pass.
It's all camera angles.

One more for mary poppins

Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite
And send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Oh, let's go fly a kite
Kite festival at Bondi this morning. Maybe we'll see Cherry there.

The bunker has been deciding finals matches for years

Not really.

Penrith were the better team last night and deserved to win.

Manly did well to make the top eight so far under the salary cap (realistically).

They'll learn from last night as a team and hopefully it will drive them to be better collectively and individually next year.

That's life, let it go, move on, work hard and get better.

Please.

Watching the replay, at 10-10. DCE goes missing for two sets with Manly on attack.

Got to be the worst clutch player in the game

Worst clutch player, sure, unless you want field goals kicked in GP off the non-preferred foot.

Chicken wing on Mansour, nonsense strip on JTurbo, at least 1 high tackle not called, given a penalty for their own incorrect play the ball. Manly got a lot their way as well. They certainly weren't robbed. They had a set that would have ended in a try towards the end if not for a clean drop ball or the knock on in goal. Uate clean drop at the end. Manly screwed themselves out of the win more than anyone.

I'm sure you'd be saying the same if the situation was reversed ;)

I would love nothing more.

I could handle losing to Penrith in the decider.

Prior experience so I'd know what to expect lol

I mean I hate my team losing GFs like anyone but if it was against the Broncos I might neck myself.

Not sure what the flogs on 9 said about this but the Fox team rightly pointed out that Mansour was holding the Manly jersey. If you don't want to get your arm bent back, let go you dumb merkin.

I was going to stay out of this thread as it is predictably 40 pages of utter shite but Manly simply weren't good enough. Solid year considering they played the season effectively a million $ under the cap. Hopefully they'll be filling that void next year.

Heard zorba having a massive sook this morning.

Dumb fat f**ker obviously can't count.
Panthers won by 12.

That cat walker was clearly in front of the kicker
It was blatant every time you look at it.
Both feet have to be behind the kicker ...and they were not.
Whereas the peachey try looked like he maybe touched it in one angle, but nowhere near it in two other angles.

You'd think they lost by 1 point instead of 12 the way that slob was banging on.
