I'm one of the biggest Manly supporters there has ever been. I am there watching wherever and whenever they play,was one of the co-ordinators of the "Manly Rally" that assembled when the Northern Eagles collaboration became a real threat. While I don't talk as much as others on this forum I am up there with Berkeley Eagle, Mark from Brisbane, CLIT COMMANDER and everyone else who posts here.
But I can't watch this game any more. The video refereee making decisions is ruining the game and has allowed the refs to exercise theior dominance against teams that have a "reputation" for physical play. Just look at today's game, how many times were there bullwogs taking a dive and the video ref giving them a penalty while they reviewed back while they "recovered". I can't stand this. I have never felt this way about league, I hate watching it now. If they want the video ref to review every play when players take a dive WHAT ABOUT FORWARD PASSES?. Why didn't they review that last forward pass that wasn't in the last minute eh?. And then what does it matter, who do you turn to when the video refs can't make the right decisions anyway (ie Rooster and StGeorge). What about the This just complete bull**** and I can't watch this game any more.
It's to the point now where I do not care about the result of the rabbitohs game. The damage is done by the officials already and I'd rather not see a reserve grade Manly lose by 40 points to Penrith and taking players away from the Toyota Cup and Sunshine Coast who actually have a chance to do something.
You've got one lost fan here.
