2017 R13 Sun - Sea Eagles 21-20* Raiders @ Lottoland

[CliffyIsGod]

Typical Raiders thinking they own the ruck. Sticky has not Plan B when teams muscle the middle. Take Rapana out and Newy would put 50 on them.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Blake Green deliberate offside prevents a try, allowed to play on, should have been a try.
Ridiculous forward pass call prevents a try.
Ridiculous knock on after Soliola strips it backwards.
A billion questionable strip penalties called, a clear strip missed that leads to the winning field goal.

Gerard Sutton was ripped off, a clear man of the match today.

1. Should have been Canberra penalty
2. Forward by half a metre
3. Tackle was well and truly made
4. Loose carry. Was never playing at the ball.

Ricky doesn't have a plan A.

Oh and how could I forget, Daly Cherry-Evans jumps for the ball and knocks it into Croker's hands, ruled not played at.

Just a disgraceful one-sided performance from Sutton. Manly fans must feel extremely dirty knowing they didn't earn that win.

already guaranteed to be our highlight of the year tbh

It might be ours too
It's a pretty special bit of footy haha

I don't know if the raiders make the 8 from here but if they do or don't is largely irrelevant. It's clear now that this is who we are in 2017 and waiting for that 2016 team to show up is a waste of energy

2017 raiders aren't even pretenders.

I think this is mostly right

But on point 1 referees have shown time and time again they aren't going to bail out players on those plays.
Dumb play and I'm not surprised it wasn't penalised

Point 3 was clean as a whistle and should have been our football. Where they found a knock on there is anyone's guess
It was either a penalty or our football

My favourite 3 tries in this match were all scored by G Sutton (of the raiders)

I was a bit mystified why you guys dropped H Perenara after his man of the match performance last week but that sutton seems a handy replacement.

Last year was a fluke for the Raiders.

Normal transmission has resumed.

Raiders are shyte and Ricky is blaming everyone for it bar himself and the players.

 

[Cockosh]

So as it stands now Manly sit on 16 points ahead of Raiders on 12. If there was no golden point both teams would be equal on 14. I understand the excitement of golden point but think it is incredibly unfair to the losing team and has massive implications on ladder positions.

I am sure they're really doing it tough at the moment

Ive never liked it. I've never seen a problem with a draw.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I don't like golden point because there's no worse team at it than us.

Dry those tears princess.

You are f*king hilarious.

If you really want to be pedantic, BJ should have been penalised for placing the ball before getting to his feet.



Not the referee's fault it was forward.



I agree, this was wrong. It should have been a penalty to Manly. Player was on ground (twice if you consider the Soliola grabs him on the ground, picks him up, and then puts him on the ground) with no more forward momentum - tackle is complete.



Including Tapau's "lost" ball. That was the worst decision today



As a fan of neither Manly or Canberra, the game was horrible, but it wasn't the referee's ripping off Canberra. If Canberra had won, I could go on about numerous times that Soliola got away with flopping or slowing down the play the ball, or BJ constantly leaving marker early ensuring he wasn't square.

What lost the game for Canberra was an awful first half, and poor ball control.

Schooled!!

The Raiders in that last 10 minutes of the game, were easily getting into the Sea Eagles half before the 5th and final. I know defences gets tired after 70 minutes but before DCEs drop goal, the last 10 minutes plus the golden point time was all Raiders. Even when Paulo got the ball knocked out he was in the process of a half break.

I must admit that I was pretty confident going into golden point for that reason. Manly were on the ropes before Paulo dropped that ball. It was probably a dud call but still very poor ball security for such a situation.

The touch judge made himself look like he wasn't watching the game because it was clear on the replay there was 2 in that tackle and Uate ripped the ball out. Not too long after that the touch judges back appeared on that slow mo replay. I know reffs miss things but that was right in front of him.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Yeah, let's just move that penalty in five meters and then take it.
