Game Day: Manly v Panthers [Round 16, 2018]

[Fluffy]

what a rort we are well on top only that biased bloke with the whistle keeping them in this.

Penrith lying all over us, flopping after held, dropping knees on our heads, throwing forward passes.

if he reffed the same for them as us we would be leading the penalty count 10 -7.

 

[Highflier]

The games ****ed when the bunker can’t rule that wouldn’t have changed the result.

I’m fast losing patience with the NRL.

I can’t stand watching this shyte Maloney no chance to stop that ,the ball went 20 Myers to the left but why didn’t lane run thru ffs

 

[davohan123]

Oh as well see the knee to the head by james t on walker goes unoticed if that was us reversed bunker tips off refs and we loose one player to the bin
Penalty count again verse Penrith high to them

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

Maloney wasn't really obstructed but I like having that rule because it has saved us in the past. I think if the obstruction rule was ref discretionary it tends to work against us (Maroon glasses on maybe).

 

[qldeagle]

This is park footy at best. I've never seen anything like this crap they dish up. Drop balls and penalties is what they must practise for during the week. Stand down and fall on your sword Barrett you're a farken joke.

 

[HoldenV8]

Take a look at the replay....Maloney was putting his arms up calling for an obstruction almost before he and Lane even contacted.

Letter of the law my arse. It shows exactly what is wrong with the video ref and the obstruction rule.

 

[Frogz]

Surely we can get up for this now. 2 points So important with the bye next week.

 

[The Royal Soup]

Same **** different week

Sack Barrett and co

What a joke!!!

 

[robbiea]

And here I was ,thinking this has so far been one of our better games of late!

 

[Fluffy]

maloney has gained a few dozen yards of pace since origin

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Panthers are keeping us in this, both teams are absolute crap!

But at least not the flogging I predicted.

Still think they will win but maybe not by many , refs will ensure this happens aswe can’t have that dastardly Manly causing an upset can we?

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Frustrating game to watch with the errors from both sides

Is there a clause in the refs contracts that they have to dish us up at Penrith Park ? 14-4 penalties last year and 8-3 so far today, frustrating part being we are under a fine tooth comb, and they miss the knee in walkers head, and we are attacking their line and they are a mile offside every play, then 3 tackles into the next set we get done for offside

 

[davohan123]

@Bradza
Manly playing poorly but better than I thought
I will admit take my humble pie ..we won't get flogged..Penrith very sluggish but we are very pedestrian our selves very negative play from us at times.
Think this being played at brookvale oval we win but probably run out in the end 8-10 point defeat.

I can’t stand watching this shyte Maloney no chance to stop that ,the ball went 20 Myers to the left but why didn’t lane run thru ffs

IF HE KEPT RUNNING THROUGH HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN mAOLNEY INTO THE NEXT LIFE
... f*****g caps lock

 

[HappilyManly]

Carn Maaaaaanly

 

[Fluffy]

How can we be down 7-2 in the penalties. Dead set bull****!

i have been told refs do not influence games.

we are a team down on confidence, imagine if this was reffed evenly, we would probably be up 16-2 at half time and start to believe again.

but i have been told refs do not influence games.

 

[Oracle]

Fainu can't pass right...very disappointing

Walker

Katoa hasn’t his hands all over the ball after he makes a tackle, especially inside the 10. They’re also a mile offside but those rules are so last week for the NRL, especially when Manly have the ball. Refereeing is as poor as the handling.

There's a lot for the refs to do out there. Each club should be able to have a recorded discussion with a referee representative at halftime and if infringements raised continue throughout the second half it should be reviewed by the head of refs or whoever manages them. Might stop a bit of dissent by some players.

 

[TimmyQ]

What an awful game of football..I shoulda stayed at the pub while I was kicking ass on the pokies. I came home for this ****.

 

[qldeagle]

I'm only watching the 2nd half for the Panthers cheergirls

 

[bob dylan]

Great start.
