2024 Final Series

[MugaB]

Adam Gee dumped for the finals.

Not exactly dumped, just not better on form compared to the other 4 ref's... they've all been fairly consistent Todd Smith is getting better, and Klein is most probably the guy you want for the GF after the origin series, Sutton and Atkins are solid, having Gee on call is a good headache

It was a copy and paste job ha ha.
I'm all for going back to the days where refs made decisions and linesman used their eyes. Officials often send up try no try when the put down is 4 ft in front of their eyes.
Other times they award a try , then after a thousand replays they get audio in their ears to call time out then it goes up stairs for review. It really is getting like US Footy sometimes.

Geez he's not an axe murderer.

As a long suffering tigers fan who was subjected to 11 yrs of abject ineptitude from the bum he deserves to get his just deserts on sunday.Ive always detested the dogs but I actually wouldn’t mind them
flogging manly & hopefully the lemon replicates his horrendous performance against us 3 wks ago at the 8th wonder

yeah the narrative is annoying that it was all the Tigers fault for Brooks not playing finals. He was a key reason for us not making finals so to absolve him of blame is BS.

Also he has hardly been a reason that Manly have made the finals. It is the Turbo and DCE show and he is just along for the ride.

I expect at least 1 kick out on the full or grubber into the back fence if DCE lets him have any kicks at all.

The last paragraph brings back so many horrid memories re the 11 yrs of excrement dished up by the pathetic bum

Too right. It's been annoying the shit out me all year, people carrying on like he's single handedly transformed Manly into a powerhouse and is now one of the better 6's in the comp.

They're same as they have been for the last 7 years. If turbo doesn't do it, it doesn't get done.

If he hadn't bad mouthed the tigers on the way out I wouldn't have cared and wished him the best. But he did, so I wish him the worst. This is hard to say but..........GO DOGS!!!!!!!

and Brooks has played basically excatly the same as he did at the Tigers. Has some good games, strong running game but comes up with momentum changing errors at least every second game.

The difference is that Manly have the capacity to defend most of his bone headed plays whereas we just conceded points every time.

In saying that I don't wish him ill, if he has a great game I would be happy for him. But I will laugh if he performs the exact same way he has for his whole career and then the Media and some Manly fans will act all shocked

Ramien out for the Sharks which is cruel for them, and I tipped Cronulla to win GF... Doh!
