Severe whiplash from hitting someone in the face?

That was a deadset joke ... the trainer behind play should not be able to hold up play for that shit

 

[TheFrog]

Yet we’re the team that conceded 15 f**king penalties.

No Manly conceded 15. You conceded 11.

 

[Pete Cash]

Actually you received 15 penalties. No excuses if you can’t win with that kind of leg up.

Manly got 11 so the difference was 4. Not a huge difference in penalties

 

[KOMORI]

Aside from the penalties, incredibly close stats..

Yea they have to get on top of this crap. Roosters used the same tactic to kill our play after a break.

 

[mave]

the last set is a prime example of why the ref can't win. they let players rush out the defensive line from an offside position and put hands all over the ball they look like they are spoiling the contest.

They blow a million penalties they look like they are spoiling the contest.

Any chance they could pick a position, and stick with it for a whole game, let alone a whole season?

 

[firechild]

Missed it. Will watch again...so will the Canberra players...hopefully they don't start bawling.

I think Croker might have shed a few tears. He looked like he'd just recomposed himself before his brief interview.

Consistency is over rated..

BJ was as grubby as anyone this weekend.

Mate BJ has a rock for a brain. Im talking about intentional penalties teams use to kill play.

 

[shear_joy9]

Is it possible to have two players sent off for a deliberate foul?
Has that ever happened before?

My suggestion would be sin binning plays like Manly did where they were clearly on purpose committing fouls. We would have likely copped our fair share of sin binnings under this criteria too possibly even in this game. There were so many penalties given away I cannot even remember them all.

 

[Pete Cash]

I also think its moot because if Croker kicked that would the refs have even had the bottle to give the penalty away for us to lock it up ? Its one of those sliding door moments as far as im concerned but his kicking is an issue in general.

 

[skeepe]

No Manly conceded 15. You conceded 11.

Ah right. Well they should have conceded 30.

100% they wouldn't have given the penalty if the margin was two.

 

[Pete Cash]

Thats the way I feel.

He is worryingly out of form when kicking from the left. That could be a big issue in the finals.

 

[GongPanther]

Other way round my friend. Manly conceded 15, you conceded 11.

LOL! Skeepe should calm down and pace himself. We need him for the next two rounds, not to mention the finals.

 

[Meapro Ham]

Bullshit. We wrestle and niggle in the ruck. We don't intentionally give away penalties to kill the play and hope the ref puts away his whistle.

I hate that shit with a passion. It's rubbish rugby league.

Right so Canberra’s niggle is ok because it’s just niggle whereas Manly’s niggle is not ok because they are deliberately conceding penalties.

Ok I think I get it.

Happy for this to happen.

Let's start at round 1 2020, and keep it the same all season, regardless of game situation, etc.

Manly got two dud noncalls that cost us games this season's against Saints and Souths.

If he got that I reckon they don't.

Refs suck.
