Seriously what a bunch of whingers, never have i seen such rubbish in my life, read the courier mail comments for a laugh at how deluded some people are
Drawing some long friggin bows here about it deciding the game, it hardly gave us an unattainable lead with minimal time on the clock, it drew us level from a deficit very early in the contest
How about focusing on the shit defense that allowed us to get that far up the field for the extra tackle to have the impact it did
How about focusing on the fact that the cowboys had the WHOLE game to prove they were the better side and deserved to advance over us?
Then there is the time keeper stuff up, which I suspect was a square up...
f**king let it go, shit happens all the time to EVERYONE!
Clutching to what ifs and claiming a certain outcome would have occurred is simply ridiculous! A straight mathematical deduction does not derive a new outcome, removing that event changes so many dynamics
We are coping the brunt of the backlash here due to hyper sensitivity for an incident Manly got away with last year, which WAS cheating since Foran's admission to touching the ball
Why should our team and the fans feel guilty for winning this game when the side did what they should have done and that's played to the whistle?? One of the key principles instilled into you as a young fella when taking up the game!
No one knew for quite some time that the miscount had even occurred!
Calling for a rematch is the f**king stupidest thing I've ever heard!
Not only are you disadvantaging Cronulla for something they had no control over, the sharks would be at an immediate disadvantage due to key injuries sustained throughout the match who are all pushing it to be ready for Friday let alone a Wednesday night rematch!
Then there is the *risk of nullifying both teams in further stages of the finals due to multiple high intensity games over a shorter timeframe which in turn leads to shorter recovery and then of course higher risk of injury! Essentially teams playing busted, it would simply degrade the finals
Seriously anyone who supports this notion is a dead set f**king moron!
The wave of support and the demands for a rematch are astounding, lets be serious here *they shouldn't even be contesting finals footy, they've had an average season, sacked their coach and I say that with all due respect
The better side won on the day, cowboys were only in the game due to a couple of gifted opportunities and that's the truth!
Having a monumental dummy spit isn't going to change what happened, playing better football and getting on with the job will!
Enjoy mad monday fellas, see you next year!
