I wouldn't bet on that, they don't have an oversupply of senior referees.

For the time being.
Love to see what happens when Parramatta ‘push the envelope’ at some future point and are heavily penalised.
I wonder what Ann E. Sley will have to say then?
As for Abdo, he probably went to the same school as Wolman, Manly’s faceless interim CEO.

Perhaps this is the catalyst for the refs getting a rocket up them from Annesley?
There's been more, sustained bad press about the howler Cummins had last week in the media than I remember happening before, maybe Des has played a blinder here & $25k is worth finally shining a light on the cockroaches in control of our game?
Look at how feral Des looks in this pic they used in one of the articles!!!
I used to have a decrepit possum living in my backyard who looked like that HEHEHE
"SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE!!!"

Completely agree. And Robinson’s comments re JWH and Sutton were more direct as well (and true).
Looks a bit like Mel Gibson having a rant..lol.

"Are you writing this down in your notebook, Officer Sugartits?!?"
ha ha...as retold by Ricky Gervais at the Oscars...what a crack up.
Neither Holbook Payton nor Des questioned referee integrity.
The first 2 certainly stated that the leading teams and high profile players get the rub of the green but did not imply it was due to corruption, obviously an unconscious (and entirely natural) bias can produce exactly that effect.
Des didn't even go that far. To say the expression 'legged' them up implied an attack on Cummins' integrity is simply wrong, it is merely a reference to the fact that penalties do give teams a leg up, that is the whole point of penalties - even when they are correctly awarded. Des was scathing about the competence, so was Aloia (several days later, which probably didn't endear us to the NRL) but imo it's still wrong to say integrity came under attack.

Or as I suggested just reply "no comment" to every question.
Yeah didn’t watch a single second of the two games played tonight (haven’t even looked at the scores). I won’t be watching any other games this weekend too. It’s become too corrupt.

The NRL has become a Communist State.
You are not allowed to say what you feel, and they are not prepared to tell you what they know.
Where is the "review" that the NRL did on Cummings' performance? Why can't we see it? What are they hiding?
If it was a glowing review I'd like to read it.... I need a good laugh.

Great article by Dean Ritchie in today’s telegraph, fully supporting the coaches and sticking it to the nrl. Totally unbiased opinion as he adds that he Has never been Manly supporter or never will, but we were seriously dudded in the parra game. Someone with access rights to the article should post it. Apologies but I read it in the actual paper rather than online
Well it certainly sounds like that if Manly respond to the breach notice with a not guilty, they're "definitely" going to get a fair hearing seeing as uncle nicks best mate v'lameday and generic knock off aldi have both come out and hammered Des already.
