Hey! I meant to say:

Did anyone see that late in the game, dce makes a tackle on Manly's right hand side and the tackled player actually took a swing at Daly, and did connect? Daly laughed it off as it was probably more a graze but: A punch is an automatic 10 mins!

edit: 1:17 to go, it was Munster. And right...right in front of the touchie.

I got really pissed off before the game with Melbourne fans, players and coaches denying the tactics of slowing the game down. Then I got really pissed off at the game by the number of Melbourne fans complaining that Manly were slowing the play the ball down :banghead: @:mad: and every very time Melbourne forgot to slow it down we made 20-30 meters.
So here are some stats:
Every team that has played the storm this season has had an average play the ball slower than their season average. I've added Manly as a comparison, it would not seem that we employ the same tactic.

That probably means we have won the most golden games? I think hokko got at least one of his for us. Also we won the first one with Ben walker kicking.

I remember that game at Brookie vs Parra.

We used to call Walker the Waterboy because he looked a bit like Adam Sandler lol.

He gave us a lot more than Noddy in the halves yet was on 20% of Noddy's salary at the time!

Panthers have won the most with 11 golden point wins (from 18).

We have 8 golden point wins from 15 matches:

2003 vs Parramatta, Brookvale (Ben Walker)
2016 vs Warriors, Perth (DCE)
2017 vs Raiders, Canberra (Dylan Walker)
2017 vs Raiders, Brookvale (DCE)
2017 vs Warriors, Auckland (DCE)
2018 vs Sharks, Cronulla (DCE)
2019 vs Rabbitohs, Brookvale (DCE)
2019 vs Storm, Melbourne (DCE)

Look how many games DCE has won for us

No wonder he gets all the money

Craig Bellamy said NRL referees boss Bernie Sutton rang him to admit officials incorrectly ruled a forward pass from Justin Olam to Josh Addo-Carr in the final 90 seconds of the Storm's 11-10 golden point loss to Manly.

FFS I hate Bellamy and everything storm related. Why they are worshipped like they are infallible is beyond me. Proabably to do with the media ownership. I hope Bernie rings all coaches personally on Monday to apologise for the probable and actual ref errors that we are continually told to embrace as they are simply human errors.
My goodness they are an entitled pack of tosspots.

Addo-Carr (no slouch) was alongside Olam and has to dive forwards to catch that ball.

How on Earth was it not forwards?

And he also apologised for not awarding Melbourne the drop goal that hit the upright because, at The Storm, close enough is always good enough.

Did he apologise for the two ridiculous forward pass calls against us, or the supposed knock on in golden point on a play that put DCE in a try scoring position after a bomb?

The pass was more forward than the rts one.

Laughable that Bellamy is talking up a technological solution- if it had been in over the last decade he would hardly have won a game due to scam’s default forward pass from dummy half.

Scam may even have been “no-balled” out of the game.

This was discussed at length last year (and I'm guilty of doing the same). You can't determine whether a pass was forward based on the distance it travels before another player catches it. Its whether the ball left the hands of the player in the direction of the goal line.
That being said, these are the shots you want:

It's not exactly conclusive, so considering what else is let go you could say you were hard done by. Really, it was he fact that he held the ball out in front for so long combined with the fact that the winger had to go to ground to make the catch that sealed it.

Yup, I've posted that video a few times on here. It still amazes me that when the ball passer gets stopped by a tackle, the refs will always pull the pass up as a forwards pass, but if he passes and keeps on running...the ball goes over the same trajectory and yet it's all good. (If you know what I'm saying)

The storm pics.... looks like his hands are facing forward to mine. Cartel Sutton had a chance to say that but bowed under the bellamy pressure backed up ably by media giants.
