The fallout from Storm vs Manly (Spoilers)

Why should Manly lose the points though?
They should have lost points for cheating the cap. The whole thing was a square up. The blonde kid was instructed by Greenturrd to let them back on early so Manly could be docked the points they should have been docked over a month ago. Wouldn't surprise me if they do it again next week.

I don't think Manly should lose points, unless the Manly timekeeper kept quiet with their own times, but maybe Melbourne gets a point?
A few years ago at Penrith, the Bulldogs had 14 on the field while they scored the try that put them 2 in front in the final seconds. They lost their points but Penrith didn't get them. If Penrith didn't get the points when the winning try was scored at the death by a team with 14 players on the field, the Storm won't get them now either.

Biffing in Ice Hockey doesn’t seem to turn the Helen Lovejoys off the game......

Say shit, get hit I say........I would love to know what Walker said, must have been a pearler.

Walker's an infuriating prick. He gave it to Peachey after scoring in the finals last year, but Peachey got the last laugh on that occasion.

Scott threw the first punch so that it generally treated more seriously. He also threw a series of punches and didn't look like letting up if not for the intervention of others on the field. Api threw a single punch at a bloke that was in the process of punching his teammate. I don't see how the 2 could be seen as equal.

You're right: standing toe to toe and punching is not the same as running up and punching a bloke on the side of the head when he can't defend himself is not the same thing.

Oh man, that has to be the most drama in a single game in a very long time.

Curtis Scott brought the send off back from the dead with a punch on Dylan Walker, then both Walker and Api Korisau go to the bin for punches....Then come back 8 and 1/2 minutes later. The Storm's Football Manager prompty blows up at the NRL timekeepers who stuffed up, and despite winning the game Manly now face the prospect of being docked two valuable points for an NRL official's error.

Wowee, this one is gonna make Monday an amazing thing to witness. Surely the NRL throw Manly a bone for their f**k up and fire the timekeeper responsible but bugger me if Manly losing points isn't the better outcome for the neutral supporter looking for some lols

did you submit this fun write-up to the school newsletter?

How dare he cop a dog shot
Please

The lowlife was mouthing off and asking for it. He was face to face. How was it a dog shot.
He walked for it and still couldn’t protect himself.
Manly will be better without him. Shit player.

If he still played for Souths you would be up in arms about him mouthing off.

How is it a dog shot? Walker was telling him to hit him. The only dog shot came from Api
It's not the 80s or even 2011

Sin bin is instantaneous for a punch, what sort of selfish thug would throw one and let his team down

Scott will never play origin, poor player and a dog to the boys to boot
