Game Day: Manly v Storm [Round 21, 2017]

[Nordburg]

the refs were OK today. yeah we could of got more but so could they.. we are just bad now for some reason.. maybe this salary cap crap is more distracting then we thought. 28 missed tackles. no aggression.. Tommy taking hit ups when the forwards should be rolling up the sleeves

I was being facetious.It ****s me when fans and especially coaches blame refs for their teams failings.Plenty of time and moments in a game to cover any ref errors

 

[HoldenV8]

I'll be honest here, I questioned him starting but Brown has probably been in among our top 3 players so far.

 

[damiennp90]

Our worse attacking set of the game.

 

[damiennp90]

Get offf Wright. Get off !!!!!!

 

[HoldenV8]

Oh FFS Wright....

 

[grassy]

I hope at half time all the players including Barrett join hands and contact the living.

 

[desreturnoftheking]

wow. get him off this fukkin dog is killing us.. He can't be picked again surely Parker has to be picked now this is a joke. investigate that mutt for match fixing

 

[The Royal Soup]

Ref called held


Then it was stripped

Play on

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

wright you can F**K "RIGHT" off you goose

 

[The Royal Soup]

Game over

 

[bob dylan]

That's a bit rough that decision.

The real problem was the defence.

 

[desreturnoftheking]

honestly this is a joke. we don't deserve to be in the 8 after this week and the last we are **** shiiiiiiiiT

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Glad we are now giving tries because "we imagine the ball must have touched the ground" rather than anybody actually ever seeing it touch the ground

 

[Eagleheart]

Tom held that up, no cheating scum try in my mind.....!!!

 

[Kevinward777]

Held up but of course ruled a try

 

[HappilyManly]

Manly stop wresting the player and stifle the ball - Stop The Offloads 😡

 

[JenEagle]

That wasn't grounded. Far out. This could open right up for Melb. Every call goes their way. Wright has been horrible. The last two tried came from awful awful errors from him.

 

[Killer03]

With the strip, didn't he have two players on him originally? Then just one.....therefore you can't strip? Or has that rule changed? I could have mis seen that, but i thought at one point he had two on him.

 

[Simonmyers11]

Couldn't see the ball touch the ground. Tough call

 

[HoldenV8]

No evidence to show the ball hits the ground so they have to go with the live decision of try.

That is the perfect example of why tries where the ref can't see it should be sent to the bunker with a neutral call.
