Non-Manly Games [Round 19, 2017]

I note that with a different ref, the Perfect Panthers only received three penalties this week.
Now doesn't that tell you how much a ref's interpretation influences RL these days?
BINGO!!!!! last week was just disgraceful just so one sided. with the game tonight you could see the refs letting the players decide the game. both teams very tired at the end why? limited penalties not one sided not many piggyback penalties like in our game for the Pennys lol they deserved to lose but got lucky with Johnson injury
 
Bummer.....we miss out on another Sticky losing presser.

I'm never failed to be amazed at how poor professional footballers are at drop goals.
 
Far too many penalties in the Faders V Illawarra match. Some refs don't have a feel for the sport. They whistle-up for the most minor of incidents, even accidents. Let the game flow more, or reduce the severity of a penalty - or impose a five-minute sin bin for repeat offenders.
Compare a first grade match with the Under 16s NSW V Qld match where there was no nonsense. It was pure RL the way the game should be played. Unfortunately as the players age and the coaches influence them the sport gets muddied and bogged down in trying to flout the rules.
 
I think my anger at Penrith's leg up last week made me forget that the warriors can fade. I tipped the warriors.

Losing moylan also helped me pick the warriors but NZ losing johnson in the 60th min didn't help.

St George.... Is their any end to the hole they are free falling through at the moment? Wasn't that convincing from the raiders. 2 points be 2 points.
 
I actually thought that the raiders got all the 50/50s.

The refs were definately keeping a closer eye on St George.

Tip sheet like our game came to mind.
