oh no manly KNOCK ON **** **** ****

I would like to know how the officials can call that a knock on by young Hoppa. The ball hit him in the middle of the chest and never touched either arm or hand.

From the Rule Book:

'KNOCK-ON means to knock the ball towards the opponents' deadball line with hand or arm, while playing at the ball.'

Man, they had that. Some poor unforced errors really cost them.

Oh we both know Jethro.

1) Total incompetence or,
2) **** Manly

 

[Wombat Legacy]

Went to script. They would have every right to blow up. Last try in normal time was a dead set no try

 

[globaleagle]

I feel bad for them. Hold your heads high guys!

 

[Bird of Prey]

Well done lads you have done your club proud cannot always be winners but your careers are off to a great start.

 

[wombatgc]

Hoppa, Shuster and Turbo3 must be kept at all costs.

 

[Bearfax]

I'm impressed. I havent seen a junior side get this close for yonks. They almost won it and I have a sense they were on average younger than the Newcastle side There are a couple of names we will be seeing in first grade in a couple of years if we can hold onto them and avoid the rapacious Roosters, Eels and Dogs. Well done guys

 

[Bradza]

Hoppa Jnr Jnr Jnr jnr Jnr etc and Schuster look like real prospects.

Well done lads for taking it right to the raging hot favourites. Some dodgy calls and some poor mistakes brought you undone.

I missed the game, would have loved to live stream it but had something on. How do you guys rate hoppa, turbo and schuster after watching that game. Any other players in the team that looked promising?

 

[Harvies elbow]

Great effort boys.
Be proud.
And congrats to Brett and the coaching staff.

Schuster is huge for u16. Also has mobility, likes the contact and is captain. Really interested to see how he comes on.

Albert Hoppa fights off defenders like his old man and also has pace and a fend. Very strong and scored 16 tries in around 10 matches. Future first grader at Manly if his Dad doesn't hold the club to ransom and then March him to a higher bidder.

Turbo3 was in and out of the game. Shows the natural footy ability of his brothers. With his genes I'd bank on him being good to go in 5 years.

Albert Hoppa looks and plays like John. He is going to be sensational. He also has a very good demeanor, no crap just class. Must take after Mrs Hop

 

[Wombat Legacy]

Schuster, Hoppa and Turbo all future NRL. I really liked a couple of bench forwards, both islander boys

 

[Wombat Legacy]

Watched the whole game. they were robbed! plain and simple. Young turbo seen the winger get tackled into touch when they gave it a try....He went OFF!

 

[Wombat Legacy]

I don't know how many people seen this, but;
On the last tackle with about 10 min to go in regular time, our No, 15 absolutely cut the Knight ball runner in half. The ball went loose, and the Knights appealed for six again. It was duly given! By far the most lopsided refereeing performance I have ever seen. It was a disgrace

Messed up big time on the grubber for newcastles first try late in the first half

Yeah, I saw that. He grabbed the corner post in disgust and tossed it.

Only young don't big him up to much. We will see . Scored a nice try but didn't do much else.the mistake I picked out was a very big one from what you call a gun?
