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

[bob dylan]

Maybe we could practise passing the ball backwards.

 

[HoldenV8]

Fox commentator....

"No holds barred from the refs on 50/50 passes".......yeah so long as its a Manly pass.

 

[bob dylan]

For the record Dan Ginnane is worst commentator ever.

Dreadful.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So you call 2-3 forward passes against Manly but ignore the ones the Knights do!!

Sounds pretty fair to me.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

**** off refs

no forward calls

4 straight penalties

just **** off

It should be 20 nil. Perenara is the biggest joke in the ref ranks bar none. Complete donkey! 4 big calls kept them in it.. 5 if you count that rubbish walker "forward" pass

Maybe we could practise passing the ball backwards.

How much further backwards are we required to pass it than the opposition though?

That one wasn’t even borderline, or *flat* as they like to call it. It isn’t physically possible to pass a ball forwards when your hips, upper body, and hands are all facing backwards...

 

[globaleagle]

what a travesty of a reffed game.

lol at pearce thinking they should have had more points. He's prob just angry at the refs not doing their job more

what a cock up

 

[torana355]

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.

 

[Disco]

We are looking pretty flat, hopefully Dessie puts a rocket up them and we come out with greater intensity in the 2nd half

6 BILLION KILOMETRES

 

[Jethro]

Penalty Score at halftime:
Newcastle 2
Manly 5

Dreadful.

The duo of gaz and dan are the worst... brenton speed 2nd worse. Gasnier loves it when we lose and you can hear the pain in his voice when he has to talk us up. This is what happens when you ruin his last game and he has to cry and sob on camera hahaha

 

[joeboy]

We are playing way to flat and slow play the balls , getting no momentum at all. Refs are shocking but we will lose this regardless if we don’t up the urgency.

Garrick needs to kick better, been quite poor lately.

 

[HappilyManly]

Wake up Turbo, 3 dumb errors

Lets go Manly, lets go

 

[Simonmyers11]

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

 

[robbiea]

Did anyone else hear one of the commentators state Thompson may be off to Knights next year ?
Hadn't heard that one !

 

[Cioran]

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

 

[Cliffymagic]

Been holdin of ponga a bit too. Need to get him fast not stand watching him

 

[globaleagle]

a well executed try in the first few minutes scared the refs into Todd's action.

Nailed by penalties since then and every 50-50 call turned into a 100-0 for the knights.

what a cock up

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.
