Game Day: Cowboys v Manly [Round 13, 2019]

[urulion]

Still holding belief our boys will deliver and we win this. However aside from our mistakes it is a difficult task when we play with 13 and the opposition are 15. Most weeks we get slaughtered by these useless refs penalty after penalty for ridiculous crap.

Should be due for square up penalties when it’s 30-12 with 10 to go

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

The bloody refs seem to be telling us to roll off as soon as we make contact...they are letting the Cowboys play much faster than us.

Yes, that's one of the side effects of being caned in the penalty count. For some reason, Coen Hess can wrap his arms around the ball to slow the ruck, but the minute we don't roll off the tackle as soon as the player hits the ground, the refs start barking at us.

 

[redlineg]

Our defence in the last 10 minutes was P-Weak. Need a lot more mongrel here
Not sure if DW should play left centre, seems to go better on the right (although years ago I played 'outside centre where you spent more than half the game sprinting cross field!)
Juts hope Des rips another door off the hinges at half time and revs up the boys as the game at this stage is still winnable

 

[47MVEagle]

Fresh start 2nd half, no more mistakes or silly penalties!!!

 

[Budgie]

Api's mistake triggered 7 minutes of hell, drop out on the full, piggy back penalty on the 4th, spilt bomb by Tom and we leak 18 points and to top it off 7-2 penalty count. Indiscipline yet again is crushing Manly!

Didn't understand why Manase didn't come straight on. Odd. He's usually there at the end of the half.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Would like the refs to tell the cows to get off quicker and not just us.

 

[Cioran]

The jackass commentator on Fox recons that Manly’s Season is being crippled by a lack of discipline that leads to them giving away too many penalties. Completely ignoring that the Cowboys are laying all over the Manly players and could have been penalised a dozen times.

They'll be first tackle penalties too...

 

[Cliffymagic]

2nd bombed try. Goin cost us.

When the entire commentary team is comprised of Queenslanders you can only expect bias like this, it's like watching a warriors game with NZ commentators

 

[Josh]

Walker has to stay in the line

 

[pjayz]

Dylan Walker... caught infield every single time. Not even close.

He is a liability in defence - always has been.

 

[The '47ers]

Unfortunately the dulcet tones of commentary will keep him in the gig for many years to come.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Awesome Jorge

 

[47MVEagle]

That should have been a penalty try to Suli

 

[HappilyManly]

Jorge try

[Kiwi Eagle]

Touch judge “I have the ball on the line” and they send it upstairs anyway, **** these pricks

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Yeah Jorge.

 

[Brookie4eva]

I’d like to see a statistical analysis comparing penalty counts of teams behind vs in front. I’m sure the numbers would leave little doubt that games are doctored. There’s no point getting an early lead in the NRL anymore unless your the broncos or storm.
