Dumbest post i have ever read, you must be the single dumbest merkin in the history of creation

The murderer would not have came close to scoring if we didn't get f**ked so hard

Not enjoying being the prom queen?

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.

Ha, I ran into Zorba years ago at Penny Park. Dessie had just retired and he was running the water. The prick spent the last 5 minutes in the backline defending a narrow lead. He literally would NOT leave the field. They hung on. Anyway, as the players came off, Zorba was caught on our side of the barrier. We gave him a bit of shit about what a good game Hasler had. He replied " We're Manly mate, we'll win any way we can".
Suck it up you fat heap.

Walker was offside. Peachey didnt touch it.
Keep whinging.

I really don't understand what any Manly fan is complaining about for the no try calls. Walker clearly did not have both feet behind the kicker on his try, Uate clearly didn't ground the ball on his no try and I don't think there was any clear evidence at all on the Peachey try so they had to go with the ref's call.

Manly fans can rejoice,they've won the u 20's match.

There is plenty to complaIn about if you're a manly fan

Remember the good old torso try? Tell me how grounding it with his wrist is any less of a try than grounding it with your torso

As for the Peachey try the refs call is the entire problem. The ref had no fckin clue but he said try just because. If he said no try then it would've been ruled no try in the bunker but because there was no conclusive evidence he couldn't overturn it

End of the day I thought Penrith were better but just my 2 cents on those calls

I'll take what I can get at this stage

 

[carcharias]

Where was Zorba? A special guest of Fatty's on nine's footy show?

Tell him to suck on a kilo of lard,and shut the f**k up.

On the radio
Even sounded a obese

 

[Miller was a legend]

Result is in the books.

No point carrying on Manly fans. Every team gets shit decisions or decisions that could go either way.

As for the few embarrassing themselves in here....EAD

They did exceptionally well in keeping Ponga at bay.That kid IS an absolute freak.Manly play the loser between Parra v Sharks which is on ATM.

Just wasn't meant to be.

The annoying part about all this arguing is no one whether it be fans or media are talking about the quality game both teams put on. I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the ground as did my partner and daughter.

 

[Saxon]

Conclusive.

Problem with that is someone has arbitrarily drawn a straight line on a picture.

If you look at the white line on the ground that it is supposed to be parallel to, you will notice that it curves - following the profile of the playing surface - whereas the red line is straight.
Even disallowing scale of perspective (distances look shorter when further away) the red line is actually further in front of the 10 metre line at the top right of picture (furthest away) than it is at bottom left (closest).

So, no. Not conclusive at all.

As desperate a sudden death game as I've seen in quite a while.

You should not be allowed to propell the ball forward and gain advantage, unless it is off your foot. Everything else - hands, arms, chest, head, thighs, whatever - should be a knock on.

What should in your or my opinion be allowed and not allowed is completely irrelevant. Under the rules that were in force at the time this game was played, it was a fair try, albeit a fortuitous one.

No rugby league fan on the planet thought it was a try now, and right now the only ones who think it should have been a try are a portion of panthers fans.

I agree that the rule book is too vague to deal with the situation, and that tied the bunker's hands into making a dumb call.

The on field ref should have called it a knock on in play and no one would have argued

I wouldn't have argued with a knock on call but I severely disagree with what Barrett said. He complained about "how could the ref be 100% sure Peachy didn't touch it with his hand" but Barrett has no way of knowing what the ref saw. For all he knows the ref genuinely saw it as Peachy not touching it and used the bunker to make sure of his decision.

 

[betcats]

Ridiculous decision. You'd think they would have cleared that dumbass rule up after the Hodgson try in 2006 origin.

If that happens while peachey is running into a ball in his own half, the refs call it a knock on 100% of the time, and not a single panthers player would have raised a syllable of complaint. They'd have patted peachey on the head and tell him to watch the ball into the hands next time.

You should not be allowed to propell the ball forward and gain advantage, unless it is off your foot. Everything else - hands, arms, chest, head, thighs, whatever - should be a knock on.

Peachey shouldn't be rewarded for being such a f**king spastic that he couldnt get his hands on a ball he was attempting to catch

Cry me a river you f**king sook. Penrith lost a game to the roosters off a ball that went forward but wasn't called, did you blow up then?

It was a try for all money.

The ref clearly didn't think it was a knock on. Having had it referred as a try, the bunker was not able to conclusively prove it was touched by the hand/arm, or that it wasn't. Under the rules, the ref's call stands in that situation. Peachey may or may not have got a fingernail to it, but all the angles they had could not conclusively demonstrate that he had. So refs call stands. It happens every week. They would have disallowed it if they could have, unless you are suggesting the both the ref and the bunker wanted the Panthers to win, and so they gave Manly the penalties 4-1 in the second half.
