Our attack was shocking but goal line defence was excellent. Very tough win with so many injuries.

AFB should get a couple of weeks for his outburst. The guy is an A grade merkin.

Atkins brought that shitstorm on himself for not blowing the penalty straight up. There was no way in the world it was a penalty try, so it shouldn’t have been referred to the bunker. He was essentially going to the bunker to see if there was a penalty, which isn’t what the bunker is for.
He was too spineless to blow the penalty straight up and the dickhead in the bunker completely f**ked it.

He's got the Bunker there, they're culpable for not indicating it was a penalty.

Still doesn't excuse what AFB said.

We are a dumb footy team.

BJ Leluei / Bryce Cartwright level dumb.

I mean Jake T gives away an absolutely blatant set restart on the 4th tackle with 1 min to go in the first half, Knights predictably score off the restart set.
Dumb, dumb, dumb, and was ultimately the difference.

The ref can’t just call for the bunker to judge a penalty though, which is what he did.

What are you talking about?

He sent the play of the try up, the Bunker had the opportunity to call the push in the back as a penalty. They didn't.

Bunker made the error, not Atkins.

And *still* none of it makes what AFB did ok.

Looking at the draw and being a bit of a prophet of doom, based on current form.. I cant see the Eagles winning a match without, TT, Fainu & walker...

But it was nowhere near a try. Atkins tried to pass off the tough decision and it blew up in his face.
If he just said no penalty straight away, there would have been far less drama created. It still would have been an incorrect decision, but one made on the fly.
Funa was pushed more than 15 metres out with three players between him and the tryline. That’s not a penalty try situation.
In an ideal world, he would have called the penalty straight away.
Atkins created the controversy.
AFB is a dumb merkin and deserves everything he gets.

Over $2mill on Pea and Pong and they created absolutely nothing. Ponga is going to need practice his catching because he dropped every bomb kicked to him.

real snooze of a game. Manly are equally as clueless attacking. And Levi must be giving a large cut of his salary to the touchies. He seriously throws atleast 10 forward passes a game
