The fallout from Storm vs Manly (Spoilers)

[thorson1987]

You guys know already that Bellamy won't fire up at all, everything that happened tonight was deserved

The NRL made an error with the time but that wouldn't have changed the result

Yeah those 2 being off for an extra minute wasn't going to help us.

We were f**king terrible.

 

[Last Week]

Last time there was a timekeeper f**k up, I’m thinking Souths vs Tigers playing one full 10 minute period of golden point instead of 2 x 5 minute periods in 2004, the NRL simply said “we were wrong, our bad” and left it at that.

Probably exactly what will happen here.

I'm certain there was an issue a while back in a Cronulla game where the team they were playing scored, and the clock didn't move for something like 40 seconds.

I remember Gallen protesting to the ref. It may have been a finals game against the Cowboys at the SFS.

 

[Spanner in the works]

What was the score when it happened? 6-4? I'm leaning toward giving Melbourne a point, because who knows what could've happened in those two minutes or so.

I also think, in the interest of transparency from here on in, a sin bin clock goes up on the scoreboard that is tied to the rules of the game, and the main ref, bunker, and timekeeper must agree that a player can return.

Manly shouldn't be punished.

Edit: I might just take the last point back...

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Oh wow, the NRL is blaming the clubs

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

NRL blaming the club

Cya Manly points

 

[Valheru]

NRL head of media has just released a statement saying sin bin timings are the responsibility of the clubs although in this case "neither club supplied such an official".

This should get interesting

 

[Spanner in the works]

Gee, that statement from the NRL. Threw a spanner in the works. Maybe Manly is in some strife? Seem to be saying the clubs are responsible.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

NRL statement guy:

"Timing is the full responsibility of the club"

Lube up the poopy hole, Manly.

 

[Last Week]

From what it sounds like to me, neither Manly nor Melbourne supplied one. So the NRL provide the official. It's still an NRL f**k up as far as I can see.

 

[Willie Ray]

Greennberg and Sutton should do the honourable thing and man up to a blanket flogging by all NRL coaches and Captains armed with a sock filled with a bar of soap...
this is the honourable way to resolve this debacle...
and it should be televised for our viewing pleasure...

 

[Valheru]

Bellamy being quite pragmatic about the situation in his presser to be fair

He has other things to worry about. He knows it.

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

How do they leave it to the clubs to administer the bin. How f**king dumb

 

[Life's Good]

Presser on now. Bellamy playing a straight bat & talking about how sh*t the Storm were. Pretty much sums up why they lost the game.
I also get the impression he’s going to verbally assault Curtis Scott with the mightiest of sprays.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Manly should f**king sue the NRL for that shit. They need to take responsibility rather then pointing the finger at the club.

 

[the_flight_of_the_magpie]

Dylan Walker chat shit and got banged

 

[Last Week]

The f**k? Apparently it's on the Storms time keeper now?!!

 

[Valheru]

Manly are going to lose their points here. Apparently if the away team does not provide a timing official, they then have to accept the timing of the home official who complained straight away.

 

[BranVan3000]

Walker might need some pain killers for that eye. Further disaster ahead

Is it just me or does it sound like they are making it up as they go along?
