Game Day: Manly vs Storm [Round 1, 2020]

Not just saying this because it just happened to Jake, but I hate this $hit about gang tackling, then all but one drops off and goes for a strip.

Agreed. This crap needs to change. Do they not do replays anymore? Would of liked another look. Jake seemed almost on the ground and tackled.

Typical grub tactics from the master of grub ery Bellamy

It was a legit one on one strip, that I'm OK with. What I don't like is that it was a gang tackle, then all bar one dropped off for the specific purpose of doing that strip. I didn't think it should have been allowed when Canberra started doing it last year, and I still don't think it should be allowed.

Well done boys

Ah thanks. Happened real quick. Agree though, 3 or 4 in a tackle is how it should be. Not stop momentum, drop off and steal the ball.

Agree. One on one straight up, sure, but after two locked in the tackle it feels like it's against the spirit of the game. Rugby League's mankad.

Cheating finucane went off the mark and sCam pushes afb then this dead**** Ennis praises him for it. Lol what a dkhead

Vunivalu just being a grub... again

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Well done boys! Try time

He seems nervous

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Both sides look “ scratchy” which I guess is understandable.

Surprised Vunavalu didn’t go on report for that knee.

Different on Nine. They were saying it should have been a Manly penalty because Finucane never got to his feet to play the ball.

 

[globaleagle]

melb have just made a medical sub with a forward. what a miracle, and by that i mean cheats

 

[MissKate]

20mins in and finucane gets his obligatory HIA free interchange

 

[Cioran]

Two Melbourne runners so far meeting the defender with a raised knee. The latest Storm dirty trick?

 

[HoldenV8]

Both teams are having handling problems right now.

The disinfected balls are slippery when wet.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Nice tackle Keppie

 

[HoldenV8]

Without doing anything spectacular, I'm pleased with how Levi is settling in right now.
