I like the look Baz has in this presser

The bloke is absolutely fuming. you can see he's really thinking about what he can say so as not to cross the line yet get his point across.

personally I think the head coach should be able to call it like they see it. Would make for much better press conferences. inference should be fine and the only thing that can't say directly would be to call the ref a cheat.

also archer is having a laugh. saying that the riff players caught the ball simultaneous is a dead set lie.

The technology is designed to go frame by frame. how many tries have been disallowed on 1 frame of ball drop?

Look at the video again Tony. riff player 1 gets ball at least 1 frame perhaps 2 before DWZ touches it. simultaneous my arse.....

Trenty definitely found his inner Bad Boy Bubby.

The refs ( i think thats what there called ) should be made do a presser after every match and explain the performance . Maybe then they might change a few things on the field evenly that they won't have to explain the bad .

On NRL 360 Billy Moore, Spud Carroll, Kent and Ikin all said the try from Dallin Watsy was a wrong call and shoukd have been a penalty to us.

So apart from Archer and Bumker most everyone else thinks it's no try.

Seems strange we all have bad eyesight and they dont.

We've been framed.

Another stat for our numbers people would be to analyse the number of ref justifications for bad calls against Manly. It was the same with Harrigan and has been passed on to Archer.
Dodgy try against Manly = try justification.
Dodgy try awarded to Manly = clear no try by boss ref and media uproar.
*Not including Uate here. That was obvious but so were the piggybacks to Newcastle.
Every now and then a match tilts my passion towards the edge and I may be close to turning into a werewolf and hunting refs and NRL admin.
Of course I'll hook up with Wolfman and we'll work together on this as a team. And then maybe relax together....
