Non-Manly Games [Round 16, 2019]

Soft penalty to the Drizzle, can’t have an upset can we!!

Better for us keeps dragons away from top 8
Storm are just finding ways to win.

Hughes offside in the Walters kick. Gets the escort penalty. Another rorted result to the scum.

 

[HoldenV8]

In the words of the great Tooves......there's got to be an investigation.

St Merge were up against 15 tonight. The refs did their part in getting Melbourne home, although it was a better result as far as Manly are concerned.

I might have to leave the TV turned off all week next week. The sCam Smith 400 game love fest is going to be sickening.

 

[The Wheel]

Did anyone else play tonight or only Scam -

As was the love-fest for Bellamy's 300th win. Totally ignoring of course that he was up to his neck in putting an illegal team together that had 4 years worth of wins before they got caught (about 72 wins).

Not saying he's not a good coach because he definitely is. But for mine its a very tainted record.

 

[ricardo]

Can't believe those mean refs penalised the Storm a whole 4 times tonight.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Jesse Bromwich will get a roasting from Craig Bellamy in the video review of this game. Both of the Dragons tries were scored after players ran through him

 

[globaleagle]

Hughes offside in the Walters kick. Gets the escort penalty. Another rorted result to the scum.

I was more 'annoyed' at the forward giving away the penalty.

He wouldn't have known if the player was offside or not and the game was on the line. Also escort penalties have been coming thick and fast all season and yet:

i'M a fOrWaRd. I mUst HiT A pLaYer oFF tHe bAll. DeRp dE dErP!

Some forwards should get no more than $15 an hour.

isnt it funny how all those years ago during the salary cap drama the media couldnt hold themselves back from doing a hatchet job on him and now, you cant say anything bad about him...

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Refs won’t award match winners for other teams but that’s the 3rd this year the Storm have been handed

Last week against the Roosters was awful, it was basically cheating what Smith did, and aside from Tooves and Roach all the Fox panelist’s are laughing and saying “he is the best” etc

Agree with comments above, I might take a sabbatical next week from Fox shows in the lead up to sMyths 400th

 

[HappilyManly]

Drags won against Manly because of the no escort penalty from Munro, now they lose because of the escort penalty call from Munro 🙄

Consistency is overrated

 

[HappilyManly]

Attendance: 5,578 😱

Attendance: 5,578 😱

Thursday night, terrible weather and vs an out of town team......that's what's the news will say.
If at brookie........ Manly fans fail to turn up.

 

[Jethro]

Attendance: 5,578 😱

Yes, and just where is the uproar from the media about those crowd figures?

 

[HoldenV8]

It shows they haven't learned from it though because they keep doing it and now keep getting penalised.

 

[HappilyManly]

It shows they haven't learned from it though because they keep doing it and now keep getting penalised.

Only 50% of the time though

 

[mickqld]

.......
Storm are just finding ways to win.

Yeah. It's called a yellow canary whistle blower.

 

[mickqld]

Yes, and just where is the uproar from the media about those crowd figures?

Nothing to see here. Move on. Turdy's big stadium idea will solve it all.
Time for a how bad is Brookvale story again.

 

[The Who]

This match highlighted why the Origin period should be shortened to one game.
Illawarra was missing four and Melbourne five of their best players. This tended to even up the contest. But either of these teams could have been playing a team at full strength, which is unfair when it comes to the NRL competition.
We'll see this on Saturday when Newcastle, minus their best four players, take on the Worriers who have no SOO representatives. And again on Sunday when the SOO-less Donkeys play Cronulla who is missing just one SOO representative.
