How to throw a game

[northmanlywarrior]

Cant beleive how bad we played in the last 10 minutes. Was that the worst game Hohia and Ropati played or what?

 

[Fast Eddie]

Ropati has played sh*t pretty much the whole season except for the first two rounds. Hohaia has gone down hill at fullback.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Yep we should have played safe and wrapped that up. Hohaia's worst game this year, and Ropati needs a spell in the Vulcans.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Ropati was awful, but his team-mates didn;t help him much with what they were chucking him at times.

 

[shinobi]

Cant believe how the played after they scored that last try they certainly tried their best to lose the game adn succeeded. Ropati and Hohaia need a spell with the Vulcans give someone else a go cmon! Im getting more excitement out of watching the under20's these days.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Yeah at least Under 20's are playing well.

 

[Dr Crane]

Both us and the referee must have had money on Manly....

 

[JB]

FMD, 4 up with 10mins left. Just hit the ball up and get to your kick, but no, we play silly buggers in front of our sticks. Brainless!
Didn't think much of Tony de le crap either.

Hey Beaver. Always rated Matai as a bit of a thug, but that hit on Rapira was sublime. The one on one to stop Tate dead was good as well. Looked very strong out there.

 

[Dr Crane]

Didn't think much of Tony de le crap either.

Manly can set up a campsite everytime they make a tackle, yet we get penalised for it. Doesn't compute.


But sh*t, just play smart. Don't push the f**king pass.

are you's for real ? the officials were the reason you were even in the game in the first place, there was them dubious calls against Manly.

with the help that you got from De La Heras and the VR, you should of won, Manly were dead-ordinary in attack today.

I thought he was crap for both teams. Didn't think he favoured one or the other. Manly we're deadset robbed by the VR on one occasion though.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Well for starters it was 8 penalties to 7 in Manlys favour but I didn't see most of the game so I can't really comment any further.

Kidding, right?

There was one-dead obvious BOTD try that wasnt ruled for Manly, and another that probably should of been awarded to, so you add 6 points definately, maybe even 12.

The ref stuffed up the tackle count and called tackle four, then Stewart ran at the line going onto the 5th, and the ref called change-over.

Orford blew up at the the touchies about five-times during the game, and all five times he had a point.

There was a bomb put up by Orford, that was knocked on by Ropati first then knocked on by Robertson, he gave the change-over to the Warriors, who scored from that set of six.

The fact you were heavily favoured with some dubious calls, 50/50 to best, and you still failed to capitalised against a Manly side who i thought you were dead-ordinary.

You mean the one where he hit the corner post while putting the ball down?

And the other disallowed Manly try - you do know the obstruction rule, don't you?


Not the first time a referee has f**ked up the tackle count - i remember the Raiders scoring against the Warriors on tackle seven.


Heavily advantaged by 50/50 calls? :lol:

 

[Skinner]

The first was a fair try to Manly...watch the replay Doctor!!

Which one are we talking about now? Robertson?

I'd have given it personally, but it was pretty clearly toss of a coin.

Yep, so it should have been T.R.Y benefit of the doubt.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

How about the pass that was 4m forward for Manu's 1st try as well Doc

It wasn't forward.


Or rather, it wasn't 4 metres forward, but it was forward.

So were a heap of passes thrown by Manly. Do they actually call forward passes anymore?
