See, Hoppas knows what he just did, but because of the angle, no one else did.

Get your hand of it mate. I was sitting in front of the Jane Try stand and I sore it your players and crowd around me loved it sums up your club!
Atleast those people doubting how much to hate manly have no doubt anynore!

you’re a bitter twisted person mightysharks. Go take a long walk off a short cliff you moron.

I’ll happily be the 1st to admit that hoppa is a friggin idiot and should be banned for a very very long time.

But calling other manly players and manly fans a disgrace is just pathetic. No supporter or player from any club would condone a tackle that we witnessed on the weekend.

I don’t know how many times we have to tell you, I WAS THERE AND IT LOOKED LIKE A HUGE SHOULDER CHARGE, THE REF BLEW A KNOCK ON AND THERE WAS NO INSTANT PENALTY. AFTER THE PLAYERS HAD SEEN THE REPLAY THERE WAS NO MORE SLAPPING OF BACKS OR SMILES.

THIS PROVES:

A) THE FANS THOUGHT IT WAS A SHOULDER CHARGE
B) THE REF THOUGHT IT WAS A SHOULDER CHARGE
C) THE PLAYERS THOUGHT IT WAS A SHOULDER CHARGE

The tackle happened so fast that it was impossible for anyone with their naked eye to tell that Hoppa’s elbow/forearm had connected with galloway’s head.

Mightysharks, I don’t give two sh!ts if you hate Manly…..but you truly take it too far if you think that genuine manly fans were happy with this tackle.

How about you go and worry about how you weren’t able to beat a 12 man manly side after fighting back to 24-16.

Mate were you sitting on the hill? I am talking about the crowds reaction in front and around me. Are you saying I was the only one who noticed how bad the tackle was? And then to make matters worse when they showed it on the screen and I started yelling at Hoppa I had manly fans telling me to shut up and arguing that it wasn't that bad!

Sorry Mate that is a low as it gets!

Before (Galloway was still lying on the ground injured though). After the replays were shown Hopoate was noticeably given the cold shoulder by the rest of the Manly players.

You forgot Hoppa thought it was a shoulder charge.

But I agree as the Fox Sports people thought it was legal until it was replayed.

he patted hoppa on the back 10 seconds after the tackle. No replay had been shown at that point of time.

mightysharks, maybe people were telling you to shutup because of the language you were using?

*edited*

also, you said that you only STARTED to yell at Hoppa after you saw the replay, but before you said that you saw the incident as clear as day. Why didn’t you start yelling when you saw his forearm connect with Keith’s head?

Answer: Coz you *edited* didn’t see sh!t, you like everyone else thought it was a shoulder charge.

There was a definate difference in opinion depending on where you were sitting.

On the radio on the way back all the callers from the eastern or southern end thought it looked fine until they saw the replay

Mate I yelled loud before and loud after I didn't stop. My point was after the tackle was shown on the big screen people wanted to argue with me. Whats that about?

I watched the incident live on TV.
My eyes were fixed right on it.
On the first live shot Galloway was going backwards with Hoppa charging at him.
The point of contact wasn't shown.
I was thinking Galloway could have been hit high but the way everyone was reacting I started to assume it was a good hit.
I still wanted to see the replay because there was a doubt in my mind.
When we saw the replay thats when you knew what the result was.

The tackle was as cheap and nasty as the house you live in, and why you are trying to defend your fans is beyond me. You wern't sitting anywhere near me and didn't have to hear what was coming out of people's mouths even after it was clear to every single person what had happened

I thought the crowd (was watching on TV) were stupid to be booing the ref's decision to send him.

you change your story like the wind.

go lock yourself away in your room for a few days and come out when you are thinking clearly!


fluffy, the TV and radio commentators who sit on the WEST side thought it was a legitimate tackle until they saw the replay.

So basically the South, East and West supporters/commentators thought it was a good tackle, what did the North think….my guess……they also thought it was a good tackle.

They were booing Hopoate I'd say....

They would have booed him after the video replay if that were the case.

I was sitting on the hill where 80% of the supporters were and can guarantee you there was no booing….it was more a stunned silence (not at the fact that he was sent off, more to what we just had witnessed on replay)
