Game Day: Manly v Knights [Round 20, 2019]

[HappilyManly]

Ref's haven't been great but we have been flat besides a few good tries. Need to be better with our discipline under fatigue.

And what happened to Gazza's kicking stats. Last 3 games he has been off big time 😎

It aint over

Did anyone else hear Perineum, when he gave them that penalty before they scored, say “I’m going to bring you through” or something similar? Don’t know who he was talking to, but he was standing right next to Pearce.

I did, but he was talking to the other cheat, I mean ref, i mean cheat

 

[Indy0204]

I know the reffing has left a bit to be desired - but if we stem the flow of penalties and hold onto the ball, we'll win this easily. We've broken the Knights every time we've had good ball.

 

[conanu]

We are getting Perenared! Same thing happened a couple of years ago in Penrith. He just decided to penalise us out of the game and it worked. He is bad when he decides to do this.

lol....look at that empty bankwest stadium

go big stadium policy

I figured he was, but geez he’s doing his best to get Drugcastle through here...

Knights really allowed to slow the ruck down, refs have been poor again, some soft penalties against us yet nothing against them for the same. Fainu hopefully can break this open. Our edges look good when we shift it

This is really hurting us, really flat line when we get the ball.

 

[Uk eagle]

Newcastle are getting away with a very late second or third man going into the tackle when it's already complete, they've not been penalised for it once so of course they will keep doing it

 

[HoldenV8]

I was hoping Perenara would let up on us once he got the Knights back into the game but no such luck.

You expected that from Perenara?

Yep. Knights players are allowed to lay all over us forever yet no penalty which is totally the opposite when it comes to us.

 

[chris_niko]

We must be the only team in the nrl that the 'home ground advantage' rule doesn't apply too. 50/50 calls should always go to home teams but can't recall the last time we got a good run from the ref's at home

6 BILLION KILOMETRES

Maybe they should start publishing the handicaps each team will be operating under along with the odds each week?

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

the sooner we get AI refs the better

Seriously if the refs were fair we would be bashing these flops! Sad how they have 2 sets of rules for each team. There only try came from them dropping the ball from our bomb and perenara saying it went back fmd then 2 penalties and a try. 8-6 shameless

It'd make interesting reading.

 

[joeboy]

I know everyone thinks Jorge is playing well, but his positioning urgency and play the speed are diabolical. Skd will catch one eventually.

Well, at least they seem to be getting a bit smarter. Normally this game would probably have been at ANZ which would have looked even more empty than BankWest might.

 

[grassy]

We are making way to many errors. We need to change in the next 40.

 

[simon64]

Completion rate of 11/18.........nowhere near good enough. Mind you, the bullsh!t forward pass calls are included in that.

Looking for a big second half from TT.

 

[joeboy]

Perenara is without doubt the worst referee in the comp, you almost gotta respect the reverse talent it takes to achieve that given the competition

Not sure what the time is in Canadia but I'm glad you up for this one GE, so funny.🙂
