Mark from Brisbane said:I don't have Sports Ears but a mate of mine does and I listened to a little bit of a Manly V Cowboys game in Townsville one night.
You may remember the game, Manly were ahead and the Cowboys stormed back in the last 20 to almost take the game away from us.
Well at about the 60 minute mark my mate goes to the dunny and says, want to have a listen for a bit....so I did.
Ref ....after just blowing a penalty to Manly..." how many's that now" (to the video ref)....Video ref Manly 12 Cowboys 4....Ref "oooh ok"
The next 8 straight penalties brought the Cowboys from being well down to almost taking it away from us, delivering to Foxports an "exciting game" and delivering a 13-12 Penalty count (we managed one right at the death when Thurston did something stupid and went off at the ref),
Now tell me that's not match tampering!!
I have said this before but I am getting VERY disillusioned with the game as a result of this.
I was at that game and remember it well. I see what you're saying about the refs (rightly so) but we almost got screwed that night by a different "Trent". Trent Hodkinson!! Jamie Lyon was in full control that night and Trent was hopeless. Jamie went off at half time and didn't return, leaving our big scoreline in Trent's hands.
I remember the 40 - nil chant went up in the first half!! Anyway...long story short, Trent was useless and faded into obscurity in no time flat in the second half. Glenn was doing most of the 5th tackle kicks trying to create something. The huge lead slipped and we only just got away with it. Bloody Trented alright!
