The refs

[Ladmate]

I'm not a manly fan or an eel fan but the ref performance was disgraceful. To hand the game to parramatta is a slap in the face for red unbias.

If I were Des Hasler, I would pay 100k just so I could rip into their pathetic performance.

 

[Dr Crane]

they've been allowing forward passes all weekend.

 

[caspersparks]

i dont know how the refs can honestly justify what happened..

 

[coolsteve]

even comentaters were laughing=embarrassment

 

[Timmah]

the refs were atrocious but as soon as manly started haemorraging points they lost any right to win it.

they called back one by the Knights that wasn't forward...

What if Manly only haemorraged 18 points? Did they still deserve to lose the game, despite being the better team for 60 minuts of the match?

you're a deadset idiot - so if manly's lead had been bigger and parra had failed to overcome it, manly would have lost the right to win it because they let in some points?

 

[Timmah]

You lost, suck it up. We were forced to last year...

doesn't mean we won't call you on it when you start talking gibberish.

I haven't seen the replay but apparently the touch judge was on the halfway line for that last pass for the winning try. Disgraceful.

I also hate that the refs are ARTIFICIALLY creating these close comeback games by penalising the side that is in front out of the game. It has happened both weekends and now has happened to Manly twice in a row.

The way these games are being reffed it's actually an advantage to be trailing at half time, then come home with a wet sail after getting 5 or 6 straight penalties.

 

[coolsteve]

worst part was hayne was running right in line with it.pathetic gonna happen to other teams too, just hope it`s not yours

both weeks Manly have had brain explosions in regards to discipline and allowed the refs to penalise them for stupid, niggling tactics. amazingly when Shayne Hayne told Lyon the next one would be sitting down in the sin-bin they managed to contain themselves.

the pass was forward but Manly had already let Parra back into the match with their own stupid play and have only themselves to blame for that.

Both sides were niggling, only the side in the lead was getting penalised for it

yes thats right manly were terrible in the second half but if that try was ruled forward with 6 minutes to go there is no way parramatta win that game

please! Manly gave the penalties away, much like Parra did in the first half.

for sure, I agree with you. but Manly were still in the lead after that. they paid the price for their poor discipline and lack of ball in the second half and couldn't close the game out.

Manly dominated most areas of the game, the same thing happened last week.

 

[coolsteve]

hayne was right there.demote him if he cant see that,he`s got no hope of adjudicating anything anything close

 

[Eaglebuzz]

I counted at least 3 instances of Parra doing the exact same things Manly were being penalised for when the score was 20 - 12. I'm not saying Manly didn't deserve to be penalised, but if they didn't get anything back.

 

[stuke]

and in the first half I'm pretty sure I saw Manly doing all the same things Parra were doing but the eels were getting penalised. it's called supporting your team!
